I am the captain of Team Amators - a family of 4, plus 2 part-timers and a little dog. We bought an ugly '85 Winnebago Chieftain for $9500 that runs like a beast. We've nicknamed him The Chief and we're currently RV'ing around the U.S. There is no plan, there are no goals. We'll hit national parks, state parks and quirky roadside attractions along the way. We'll also stop to visit old friends. I'm writing a blog to keep a record of our travels: TheAmators.com. I've never thought of myself as a writer so starting a blog is scary and fun and new. I'm here looking for constructive criticism and inspiration.
