Rafting the Merced River in Yosemite National Park

Are you looking for family reunion or family travel ideas?  Why not organize a camping trip to the national parks in a new or used conversion van?  The best way to provide your family with the most memorable vacation in your conversion van is to do the proper planning and travel preparation way ahead of time. Especially when you have little children to take with you, you have to make sure that they will have fun and not get tired or bored or rushing to go back home because of a simple misfortune that occurred along the trip as a result of poor planning. If you have plenty of time to prepare for that trip, take these steps guide you from start to finish.

1.    Customize your van or buy a new one according to your specifications with consideration only to what’s needed in the trip. Extra equipment will only mean lesser space to freely move around the van. Settle with the basics: beds that can be transformed to sofa, a stove, fridge, dinette, and microwave.

2.    Take a list of campground directories found on the internet or through you local phone directory. Find the one that meets your expectations. Choose between a private park and a public campground. If you’re going out of town make sure you have a map with you, or you may go on a guided tour with other tourists in their respective recreational vehicles.

3.    You may want to be a member of camping associations to save on expenses. Recreational vehicle clubs have affiliated campgrounds and parks and you will enjoy discounts by becoming a member.

4.    Take note of tours, schedules, and other activities your family can enjoy when you have decided on which national park or camping site you are going.

5.    Assign tasks for every member of the family. This will make camping trip more organized and cooperative.  Kids learn to love camping at an early age.  By taking care of chores they learn responsibility and develop good self esteem, and a love of the outdoors.

6.    Enjoy every moment. Explore during the day as a family. Also, take the time to talk, create games, or gaze upon the stars especially on those very quiet evenings.  Enjoy your conversion van, your new holiday home!

Visiting Indiana: The Spirit Of Jasper Train Ride

The Spirit of Jasper is a restored passenger train that runs scenic tourist excursions. The train is based at the Jasper Train Depot in Jasper, Indiana. The train is made up of various historic cars and an engine that have been restored. The train runs two regular excursion routes. The train ride is a great way for the whole family to enjoy the scenery of Dubois County from the climate controlled comfort of restored historic train cars.

The engine that normally pulls the Spirit of Jasper is a General Electric diesel-electric switch engine originally made in 1956. The #200 Club Car dates back to the 1940s and was converted into a passenger car in 2009. The #300 Lounge Car was originally a coffin car that carried the bodies of soldiers that died in World War I to their hometowns for burial. The #400 Parlour Car’s historical use was as a military hospital car.

One of the excursions the Spirit of Jasper runs is the Jasper to French Lick Express. This route is 25 miles each way. It takes about 1 hour and 45 minutes each way. There is a two and a half hour stop in French Lick for passengers to enjoy nearby attractions before the train ride back to Jasper. Highlights of this route include going through the second longest train tunnel in Indiana and the historic French Lick Train Depot, which houses the Indiana Railway Museum.

The second excursion option is the Jasper Ride & Dine. This is an 18 mile route that starts and ends at the Jasper Train Depot. As passengers enjoy the scenery they are served dinner. The dinner is catered by the local authentic German cuisine restaurant called Schnitzelbank. The exact menu varies, but usually includes a few entrée options, sides, and dessert. The Japser Ride & Dine scenic train ride lasts about two and a half hours.

Groups can also charter the Spirit of Japser by chartering a whole car for a schedule train excursion or the whole train for an excursion when there are no scheduled departures. The Spirit of Jasper also occasionally offers special excursions, such as the one hour round trip rides that run during the Strassenfest in August.
