> In 1970, we piled 4 kids into our 1965 VW bus and, pulling a small Nimrod camper, we headed west. Our goal was the N.E.A. convention in San Francisco. The engine blew up at Rabbit Ears Pass Colorado and we finished the trip in a 1968 Chevy.
> We saw Disneyland, the Golden Gate, Carson City, Yellowstone, Great Salt Lake, Dinosaur National Monument, Mt. Rushmore, the Missouri and the Mississippi. We also visited my sister in Ontario, Calif. and attended a five day teacher's convention. It took five weeks. We spent between $600 and $700, not counting a second hand car that we bought in Steamboat Springs.

Howard,
I love hearing all of this stuff! What are your kids memories of that 1970 trip. I imagine they remember it well and probably laugh about it today. I know I remember and love thinking about trips like that with my parents.
