JD here and we live on the North side of Indianapolis, Indiana. We took delivery of a 2014 Grandby on 8/1/2014 and it is on my 2013 F-250 long bed. We plan on visiting every National Park during the coming years. We like to spend time in Montana.

I'm Bill and live in WV about an hr south of Pittsburgh and I have a mid 80s Grandby (that's in the the process of a rebuild),I've had this camper since I believe the early 90s..I had some buddys that worked for FWC in Denver and on a elk hunting trip got to see my first FWC and had to have one,so eventually a used one showed up ,I got a call,called off work a couple days and me and another friend headed out to Denver..It has sat for quite a few years cause I got rid of my full size and got a small Toyota and had nothing to haul it on..So I was on the Expedition portal then found this site and fell back in luv with it again..I just got an old F150 and have it tore down and doing a rebuild and hopefully I'll have both on the road by July..Great site BTW

We don't really qualify as we live about 3 miles west of the Mississippi in the Twin Cities but figured I would chime in anyway. From my vantage point, St Paul is east of the Mississippi, Minneapolis is west (for the most part anyway- the river takes a few turns going through the two cities). On this site I have joked that we live in the "mid" west. I guess you guys live in the "east" west. Looking forward to more trip reports from wandering the "east."

We are in the Berkshires of western Massachusetts near Vermont. We have a 2011 Eagle on a 2001 Tacoma. Most of our travels are into the great North Maine Woods... a very wild remote area. Lots of fly fishing, canoeing, bug swopping, and listening to wildlife. (no camp grounds in this private area....no nothing but logging and single primitive sites off log roads). Our Summer plans are for the lakes of southern Ontario. Have done many mods. Air foil,over the cab box, tripod solar panel, lift struts, etc... I love this camper and though it was -11 this morning here... we dream of the Spring and road trips.

Bernard here. I'm in central Virginia, near Charlottesville. I got my Fleet last summer, on a '07 Tacoma.
We're planning a big trip through the West to California and back next summer. Also, a short visit to Illinois in April. Cape Lookout in North Carolina and Michigan's UP sometime in the next few years. But, my main interest is "wandering the West"!

Another half-breed, we live 20 miles west of the Mississippi and 20 miles south of Minnesota in northeast Iowa. We have traveled coast-to-coast and corner-to-corner (plus Canada) for over 30 years together just day hiking. We never used vacation days in state while working and tent camped with our children everywhere. The best part of Iowa is being in the middle of everything since we enjoy hiking the east as much as the west (two days driving to Appalachia, two days to Utah). Greater Appalachia (Georgia to Maine) is our primary eastern destination with side trips to other hiking spots along the way but rarely the coast (other than visiting family on Long Island, NY). This year we hope to hike in Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, and Kentucky during the first half and Canada, California, Nevada, and Utah in the second half (assuming my better half gets her passport in time).

Jim, 15 miles east of the Mississippi. 2012 Ram 2500, standard cab, 8' bed, 1977 FWC Grandby. Recently retired. After 50+ years of backpacking/mountaineering, the Grandby is a HUGE upgrade. Every year the ground gets a little harder!
I rarely get east of the UP. Mostly wander the mountain west. Currently waiting for Texas to warm up so I can escape the frozen tundra.
