Years ago, I wrote a Publisher’s Letter about one of my camping adventures — one of many. But that story didn’t just end with me sitting by a fire or watching the stars. It sparked something unexpected.
A loyal reader named Helen reached out after reading that letter. She had a 1989 Winnebago that she had held on to for years — with less than 40,000 miles on it, it was practically brand new for a vehicle of that age. She told me it was time to “retire” it, at least from her use, and she wanted it to go to someone who would appreciate it and continue the adventures. She chose me.
Did I need another vehicle at the time? Not even close. But how could I say no to something so full of possibility — and kindness?
