These shots were taken in Mansfield, MA hours before the Radiohead show. I am now the proud owner of a 1986 Chevy Camper. Upon entering the show I was immediately escorted to the camper section of the parking lot and entered a new mobile home road warrior culture that I only feared existed. My camper does _not_ have a shower, toilet or fridge but it’s got more muscle than most out there. It has a Diesel 6.2 Litre engine with military specs. With a few modifications from Diesel Mike it runs at 20-22 MPGs. It’s not a grease mobile yet but maybe down the road it will be.
I will be touring across the country starting in Boston and ending? I don’t know where yet but leaving that open certainly allows for more possibilities.
Nobody did notice our upside down flag, which is actually a distress signal, but was also our little statement about the distress of the country and ass backword state of affairs going on today. Maybe the wind wasn’t blowing hard enough but it was our mark on how upside down, yet great! this country is. That being the swirl and downfall of economies, the housing market roller coaster, inflation, devaluation of the dollar, recession, political scandals, food price increases and oil prices that are the ever dead horse that continues to get beat. I won’t recount events here but will in future posts as I travel across the country.
Truckin’ – got my chips cashed in
Keep Truckin – like the doodah man
Together – more or less in line
Just keep Truckin on
