I am glad that you have been to the Taos Pueblo and have explored the beautiful area of Northern New Mexico. The photographs are spectacular - you were lucky to find such dramatic clouds for your
images. I hope you captured at least 5000 shots there - that lighting does not happen very often.
Best wishes for the rest of your journey,

experiecing some of the best fall weather we've had in weeks in Aptos, CA May God bless your remaining journeys.
Hi Rudi and Rita -
I enjoyed meeting you (and your amazing "camper") and chatting a bit with Rudi at the Pork Rally on the Mokelumne River 2 weeks ago.
I got home to Bend from my 2-week vacation on the east side of the Sierras a couple of days ago, which was nice, but...I wish I was on YOUR schedule!

I am sorry I missed you today at Fred Myers in Bend. I was so excited to see your vehicle and maybe talk with you. My husband Steve and I have a 1981 DAF truck with container we bought from a Dutch
couple who were traveling here in the US. We just returned from a trip to Canada, Yukon, NW Territories, Alberta and B.C. and Alaska. We tried to find as many dirt and gravel roads as possible. There
were quite a few.We hope to make it to South America sometime and perhaps our paths will cross again. We love your blog and send wishes of good health and safe travels onward.

turns...not alignment of chassis. we are sorry we were not able to meet you to compare notes on your Canada/Alaska tour. we are just back from 9 weeks to the Arctic Ocean.

Derek & Donna Aindow(Samstag, 24 Juli 2010 05:15)
It was very nice speaking to you on the side of the road in the Yukon while we were waiting for some construction. We stopped with our Bounder in Tagish overnight and then went to Skagway. On our way
to Whitehorse we saw you parked beside the side of the road in just outside of Carcross by the sand dunes. Hope you are enjoying your trip and do not get anymore flat tires!! Enjoy the drive through
the Richardson Mountains to Inuvik where I once lived.
It was an absolute pleasure to meet the two of you and we wish you all the best as you travel through life. What a beautiful experience it must be for you as you travel the various countries and
learn new customs, languages and meet new friends.
Again, all our best from the staff of Cars RV and Marine, Hinton Alberta.

Hi Rudi and Rita,
Great to see on your way, what an adventure. I remember when you brought the vehicle to Horb the weekend Tony and I were and you were explaining you plan. I was envyous then and am still are today.
Are, but only 15 months to go and I can can join what we call the "Grey Nomads" and travel Australia in a Caravan. Let us know when you finally get to Australia, maybe we will be on the road then and
we can catch up. There are several of the Rexroth crew (Dennis Brien, Warren, myself and Geoff Kirton) who will doing the rounds of Australia, once we retire, and we all plan to meet once a year on
the road. If the timing is right you can join us.
I will follow your progress with great interest....stay safe
Dear Rudi and Rita,
I have just found your "Home Page" after getting a returned email saying your email address at Festo is no longer!
So finally you have started to realise your dream - I am so happy for you and very jealous.
I see from the stories below that you had some problem with your spine - I hope it is not serious and that you at least did it doing something that you loved. Maybe you can tell me the details in
your response.
The reason that I tried to contact you was to tell you that I am now a Grandfather - my Grandson Zackery Anthony Llewellyn Williams was born 7th Sept in Toronto, Canada and I am looking forward to my
visit beginning 3rd Oct.
Your home page is fantastic and I am sending the link to Warren - maybe it will inspire him to do the same instead of wasting away in his job, the good times are over now - now it is all about the
corporate Bosch.

My wife and I camped next to you in Talkeetna, Alaska in the white Toyota Tundra. We still take a look at your website once a week or so to see how your travels are. Looks like you both are enjoying the United States very much and having the time of your lives. Thanks for keeping a detailed website for us to look at and inspire us to plan our next over vacation overseas.
Safe Travels,

We saw this spectacular RV when you were travelling through Smithers . Your story is very inspiring! Most enjoyable reading about your perspective of the sport of Rodeo and other 'interesting' aspects of your Canadian adventure. Travel safe,

I have been following your adventure - your trip through Yukon and BC bought back many wonderful memories for me.
What a fantastic experience you are having! I wish I could join you but someone has to pay taxes!

Sorry Rudi and Rita - forgot to give you our e-mail adress (aindow@shaw.ca). If you ever come back through Edmonton give us a call (780-406-9683) so we can show you some good Alberta hospitality. You are the first people we have ever met that are 'taking their time' to enjoy life and travels in a slow and relaxed manner. Enjoy everything that you see and do!
Derek & Donna Aindow (Samstag, 24 Juli 2010 05:15)
It was very nice speaking to you on the side of the road in the Yukon while we were waiting for some construction. We stopped with our Bounder in Tagish overnight and then went to Skagway. On our way to Whitehorse we saw you parked beside the side of the road in just outside of Carcross by the sand dunes. Hope you are enjoying your trip and do not get anymore flat tires!! Enjoy the drive through the Richardson Mountains to Inuvik where I once lived.
Derek & Donna Aindow,
