[Kelly]

 
[font=" comic sans ms" ]Just got this great book Trailer Travel : a visual history of mobile America by Bryan Burkhart.   Full of great pictures and some really good quotes.   Thought I d share a few...

• " All I know is that with the approach of summer there comes an increasing yearning to set eyes upon far-off places at the end of the open road.  This call when answered is usually termed,  a much needed vacation ."  (1921)
• " The only trouble is that, according to trailer " addicts,"  once you live in a home on wheels, you re never satisfied to be anchored to a permanent one again."  (1937)
• " Believe me, there is no way to see and know the world as you can traveling by trailer.  We are already looking forward to next year s expedition.  Mind you, this one hasn t even ended, and we re thinking about the next!"  (1960)

[font=" comic sans ms" ]" Five years ago, it was just a convenience for motor tourists...a mobile bedroom dragged along behind the car.  Today it is a fairly complete home, factory-built and it is the only home of thousands of Americans who have gone gypsy."   (1936) [/font]
