Just had this discussion with our cousin Doug Fox the other day... memories of trips in the big green motor home. If I recall we had three 8 track tapes: Three Dog Night, the Guess Who and I think one other I can't remember. Doug also recalled on one of those trips the big craze at the time was CW McCall's song "Convoy"... and we had CB radios in the vehicles and thought it was cool to talk to the Truckers, etc...
Of course another good motor home memory was the fact that shifting into 2nd gear always made a grinding noise, to which Michael would always respond with "If you can't find 'em grind 'em" or "Grind me a pound"... Pops seemed to be OK with this joke to about Fillmore but after that such a comment was generally greeted with hostility. :-)
Those trips to California with Foxes, Buehners and the Fairbanks nutjobs were classics!! Always good to see Dennis and Aunt Eunice embrace and share the love with each other...
Speaking of CW McCall, there was a song on that album called "Black Bear Road" and Lisa was young and in a clogging class at the time... anyone remember the day we put the "clogging" music on for Lisa to dance to?? :-)
