I first met Soni and Dave back in 2017 at Sturgis when we shared a camp ground together.  Later that same trip I went and stayed with them in Colorado Springs and met their sons – Trevor and Gavin.  I had a huge amount of fun with them and I am excited to be catching […]

I pull Stan up outside of Lynn’s apartment and I am very relieved to have made it through a crazy day.  I go and find Lynn and she helps me to unpack Stan – given the temp is now 39’c her help is much appreciated.  We get inside under the aircon and have a chat […]
