#5 119,

I too was transferred here in 1971 and the first car I bought was a Chevy VEGA. It was the first time Japanese cars were being sold in Japan, and neither Nissan nor Toyota had their own dealerships in town yet, so I had to ask American car dealers to sell me their cars. Nissan began selling the Bluebird under the name "Datsun. Since I was allowed to come to the U.S., I decided to buy an American car instead of a car that I could drive in Japan. \I decided to buy an American car instead of a Japanese car. This car was a four-cylinder small car that Detroit made up in a hurry because of the attack of Japanese small cars, and it was full of defects. I will come back to this story later.

I took a vacation in this Hutch Back Chevy VEGA and took a route around Northern California, through Yosemite and back here. We took the 101 north up the coastline and spent the first night in Moro Bay in the parking lot of a park by the ocean. Of course we stayed overnight in the car, but those were the days when it was not noisy to spend the night on public streets or in parking lots.

I go camping in my work pickup truck with a tent, firewood for the campfire, sleeping bags, etc. ！ Even if there are no bathrooms or kitchen facilities, there are toilets at the campgrounds, so it's no problem ！. ？ When I was a student half a century ago, I went camping in Yosemite during summer vacation as an annual event and encountered a bear in a garbage can, which is a fun memory now. ！ I plan to go when it warms up a bit ！ ！

＞ I would like you to share your experiences

I tried to write "continued," but it was a blur and I couldn't come up with what to write immediately, so I will answer 119 for now.


You are right, I may be of a similar generation to 119. I landed in JFK, NY on June 21, 1970. I was originally "shipped off" to the U.S. to open the LA office, but I couldn't speak English or do business in LA, so I stayed in NY for 6 months as a training period. After that, I came to LAX from JFK around January 20, 1971, and suddenly came to San Fernando Valley where the sales rep office was located.

Oh, no, I've started writing in detail again. Anyway, I have been a resident of the Valley for the past 50 years. As for the subject of minivans, since then I have traveled all over the country with my campers in whatever means and manner I prefer or think fit my needs. It's fun, isn't it, sleeping in a car or in a tent? In short, I love being out in the wilderness and living the wild life.

Thank you, Mr. Double Goldman‼️
The day I came to the U.S., they were broadcasting the Apollo 11 moon landing on TV‼️
While I wanted to watch TV, I couldn't beat the jet lag and I remembered how disappointed I was‼️
I came to the U.S. after graduating high school, so I was a little older than you. I️
I️ had to refuel in Hawaii because there were no direct flights back then.
