It all started over 20 years ago now.

We met by chance in a big city, and we were both piss poor.

Neither of us had a car, we definitely had no stainless steel fridges and shiny black shoes.

It turns out what made 20+ years work so well is a sense of adventure that transcends all social measures of common sense.

Did I mention we were piss poor?

With our less than impressive budget, we decided we're going to need a tent. We bought the one of those fancy 2 room tents; poor did NOT mean we had to mingle with the hoi polloi that went about adventuring in single room tents.

Our first adventure was a 14 day trek through regions of the Pacific North West.

But honestly, who cares about the Pacific North West.. THIS TENT WAS BOSS :)

I remember uttering the words "this is all we'll ever need" and I'm SURE I meant it.

Some how as the budget improved, so did the level of acceptance that we "could" still be adventurers and have a... y'know... cute little 14 foot trailer. All good right?

JoTrailer followed us into the most awkward of natures spaces. We thought Jo was the cutest thing ever, but campgrounds would have no part of it. JoTrailer was old and ugly to them. So we found other spectacular places to be.

And dammit.. even though it had no toilet.. THAT Trailer was "truly all we would ever need." (:

Do I have to go on? Or should I get right to the part where we dump Randy the 18 foot trailer for Hiram.. the brand new 26 footer .. which is "truly ALL we will ever need." (-:

Turns out the adventure is us, not the mode in which we seek it.

And dammit pulling over to hit the can absolutely anywhere .. is something every adventurer should have.

No matter what we hauled, pulled, pushed or dragged.. the adventure was always about the thrill in a complete lack of planning (and figuring out what to do when even the lack of planning blows the fuck up).

We put JoTrailer through hell, and I'm going to tell you all about that.

After 4 years I sold Jo (sight unseen) for quite a bit more than we paid.

A woman pleaded with me to hang on to it till they could come. She paid in full and in advance.

When they came to pick it up it was like looking at our selves 5 years earlier.

And I'm not kidding you.. she said “it’s all were ever going to need!”

We have fun, bizarre, crazy adventures tied to JoTrailer before Randy and Hirem came along.

Stick around and I'll tell you about them.
