An American Original

After disembarking from the ferry, I spent the night on the road at Tom's Campground in Dodgeville, Wisconsin.  I pulled into Humboldt, Iowa - home of Born Free Motorcoach ready to celebrate John Dodgen's 85th birthday right on time - Tuesday at high noon.  Parked at the factory and setup for 3 days of dry camping. All in all, I think there were about 130 coaches representing all years and models. Even had an original 1980 version - still operational!

Certainly doesn't look much like today's version.  Almost seems like a truck camper with training wheels.

Two days of greeting old friends and making new ones and now I'm off to Creede, Colorado.
