History Bam served as an ambulance at Atsugi Naval Airfield in Japan before moving to the private sector. She currently has 18,000 miles (quite the MILF).

New: alternator, starter, rebuilt carb. Engine and bones are good to go.
*replaced alternator (again) and radiator in New Mexico.

Next: The treatment bay is completely gutted. Building out with a modern rustic theme on a very compressed time schedule. Bam and fam will be heading west to Seattle at the end of February.



Just made the trek from Minnesota (-13 degrees, no issues) to Southern Virginia.

Update: Bam, three people, two dogs, and some household goods successfully made the trek from Virginia, through Asheville, Tennessee, Texas, New Mexico, Utah and all the way up to Seattle.
