Yes, new adventures await, in my new adventure vehicle. As I mentioned earlier, I needed something more capable in a true adventure vehicle, something which could get me places where I couldn't get to in my Sprinter van, and get me back. So, I bought a Nissan Frontier mid-sized pickup truck, SV 4x4, with a V6 engine and a 6 foot bed. I got the King Cab configuration so I could bet the bigger bed. So far, great. I had a Nissan Xterra in the past, so I know and like Nissan trucks, plus, a Frontier was less expensive than a Toyota Tacoma. I also added a used cap to enclose the bed of the pickup. In the short run, I built out the inside for camping/sleeping, and while I've hit my head on the roof the cap a bunch, it is working out pretty well. So far, short adventures have been fun, but longer (much longer) adventures await, and I can't wait. Nothing beats being on the road, visiting new and beautiful places, continuing to explore this amazing planet we all call home.
