It all started with a song…..
June 23, 2022
My best mate TW at the sink, rinsing dishes before hitting the road on stage 2 of his maiden voyage in the clubhouse on wheels. He was vibrating, I kid you not. Couldn’t wait to get behind the wheel and head on up the road. He’s dreamed of vanning about for years.
Well, some of that energy leaped clear across the room and hit ME. Now I was energized too! Out of my mouth comes ‘Tom, you’re a vanquero!’
We didn’t know if there was such a thing, but there was no doubt that he wanted to be one. What more did I need!
So by the time he made camp that evening my DM message was waiting for him. The bones of “The Ballad of Los Vanqueros” – you see, I knew if I planted a seed it was gonna grow. And within 48 hours we had a song. It’s our ode to one version of life on the road.
But I got to thinking…. because that’s what I do. If TW wanted to be a vanquero without even knowing what it was then there must be more folks who’d want to be a vanquero too. I was sure of it. So now there is such a thing, and we want to create a whole community of vanqueros. There are no dues or fees. There are no profits or dividends. There’s just this ideal, and an invitation to join others that share these values. An idea as the foundation of something with a greater purpose not yet determined.
We’re just getting started. We’re forming relationships with others who want to have a positive impact while following their path.
So that’s what this is really about. Don’t you want to be a VANQUERO too?
See ya down the road,
B
