MollyG & Abby

My 1996 Dodge Ram Leisure Travel van is quite different than Rose & Steven’s Earth Cruiser.
My MollyG is 2 wheel drive with a heavy wide back end. she is 24 years old and NEVER meant for off road travel.
Abby is much younger, 4 wheel drive, solar powered, can drive in 3-4 feet of water , ability to filter ANY water, and was built to go off road.
i did not know how long I could follow the Earth Cruiser!
Yes, Beverly their rig is a tank with amazing abilities! My van is a camper van.
We have been traveling together for over 2 weeks. Yes, they are taking consideration for where we camp with MollyG! With that said “ MollyG and I have driven into places I should have Stopped!

However, after experiencing rutted dirt roads, steep inclines, rocky and washed out roads, dips, sandy, dusty roads MollyG and I are fairly seasoned backroad travelers.

A big hiccup in our travels was the rear shock air bags quit inflating when we were 9500 feet up on the Uncompahgre Mesa in National Forest. MollyG and I got down the tricky mountain roads to find a wonderful campground in the beautiful Dolores canyon. Steven spent time figuring out the problem, using Abby’s compressor to fill up the air shock bags to get us to a big city (Grand Junco) for parts.
Airbags for the shocks were fixed in the Safeway parking lot in Grand Junction. Once fixed, we can easily take on mountain roads with MY new confidence in my driving skills and MollyG’s capabilities! Thanks to Steven and his well rounded brain power!

  1. So beautiful Connie. So happy that Steven has been such a good person to help figure out things and fix them. Looks like you all are having a very nice time. Thinking of you, start outdoor hooping on Tuesday with masks and 10 feet apart, should be interesting.
    Thanks for your blogs.?

  2. Connie. I’m so glad I came across these pictures and blog on fb. I thought I lost you. I’m glad you are having a great time with your kids!! I don’t even know where you ended your last trek across the country? I assume you are back in Colorado. Let me know how you are doing cuz’n. Think about you often. Love ya. Diane
