The Dodge Van site
Welcome to my home page. My friends encouraged me to put up this site. The purpose of this site is to plan and coordinate local trips. I've owned a Dodge van since 1972, and as my friends know, road trips are the best way to travel. Please feel free to look around. Check out the "How about going here?" page and see if there is somewhere you'd like to go. All of us like to travel, but with the cost of gas, most of us are cutting back. With Zimride, you don't have to stay at home . Feel free to suggest a place to go. If you're new here, check out Zimride.com.

What is Zimride.com?
Zimride is an online carpooling and ridesharing service that focuses on existing communities at colleges, universities and corporations. The service integrates user profiles with Facebook and allows users to limit their matches to members of a private community.
Zimride was started in late 2006 by Logan Green, Matt Van Horn and John Zimmer. Zimride was the first online carpooling site to integrate Facebook to show potential riders who might be riding with them. Zimride received $250,000 from Facebook in 2008 and is profitable.
Zimride is a simple way to find friends, classmates, and coworkers going the same way. Combining social networks and our proprietary route-matching algorithm, make it easy to share the seats in your car or catch a ride.

The Grand Canyon 2011
The Grand Canyon was one of the only places we didn't go when my daughters were young. We finally got to go last December. Lots of fun.
