Over the years I’ve logged quite a few miles in the old green camp van.  It’s taken me to every corner of Minnesota, from Pipestone to Cook, from Roseau to Houston, for a variety of programs related to Trout Lake Camps.  The van has carried supplies, presentation displays and TLC summer staff.  I don’t know how long Trout has had “old green” but I know it gets used.  And I know first hand that vans wear out...

In early January, Wick and I were heading from a meeting in Mankato to another in Willmar when “old green” broke down along Highway 71.  My first hand experience is Trout needs newer vehicles...trucks, cars, and yes, vans!  Project 365 is a great way to guarantee there will be reliable vehicles supporting the transportation needs of Trout.
