Joyce & Dick It is quite a shock to hear for the 1st time that you
guys are selling your Freebird. The Pride of ownership that the both
of you shared in that Bus shows as everyone points at it when driving
down the highway. The people and friendships that you made along the
way are something that holds value. A beautifully well crafted Bus
and well taken care Bus such as yours is worth something in my book.
I am a bit shellfish when saying that "I am glad that no one has
bought your Classic beauty" because its means our paths will always
meet at the next Bluebird Rally. Talking about Market Value of your
Bus seems so cold & unfeeling when comparing the memories both of you
have shared in the Freebird. Memories are the tangible things that
become Priceless.

Everyone of you that commented on the merits of owning Wanderlodge
make good since and in many ways echo our thoughts. Dick and I
spend our winters in the desert near Yuma. Our bus, with it's
fabulous solar system, is perfect for desert living. It's also fun
to have one of the prettiest, most unique coaches in the area making
us feel terribly proud. We smile when people comment on the huge
tires 'cause we know that they're just making everything safer for
us - we couldn't imagine traveling with those little bitty SOB tires
underneath us.

financially in his quest to fight terminal cancer. The expense of
that and the fact Dick will be turning 75 in August made us believe
that it was time for us to consider other options for living our
winters in the Southwest. Unfortunately, it appears that we picked
the worst possible time to do this. It is very hard for us to
believe that a classic Wanderlodge, with its retro look, shiny chrome
bumpers, and clean bright white interior, would decrease in price so
much - especially since it is always kept in good repair and it
spends its summer under cover. The wonderful friendships we have
made with other Wanderlodge owners would be impossible to match. We
would surly miss our friends if we couldn't see them at least once a
year at one of the rally's. Because of all of the above, and all of
you, unless we can sell our bus at a fair price, we will be once
again traveling to Quartzsite in our "Freebird" and that wouldn't be
half bad.
