It all started with a dream.
When my creator, Wally Byam, put pencil to paper and sketched his life dream out in words; beliefs to live by - ideals to strive toward.
I was born in the heart of this country, where this creed meant everything.
I've lived many lifetimes since then.
I've seen endless pavement, speckled with yellow paint and mottled by rumble
strips. One unbroken line, gray and black stretching to the horizon on each end.
I've seen snow in the desert, felt the strength of the Sun and high mountain
air and made it through my share of hail storms unscathed. I've seen the sands of
the Sahara, the jungles of the Congo and the villages of Zanzibar. I've welcomed
emperors and held court with nomads. Through it all I've carried these words
with me; this Creed to keep alive and make real and enduring promise of high
adventure in far away lands of rediscovering old places and new
interests. To place the great wide world on your doorstep for you who yearn to
travel with all the comforts of home.
To open a whole world of new experiences, a new dimension and enjoyment, where
travel adventure and good fellowship are your constant companions. To lead
caravans wherever the four winds blow,. Over twinkling boulevards, across
trackless deserts, to the traveled and untraveled corners of the earth.
To strive endlessly the stir the venturesome spirit that moves you to
follow a rainbow to its end and thus make your travel dreams come true.
Wally's words; his Creed. I was born in the heart of his country at the hands of
men and women driven by Wally's words. They've led me through the best and
gotten me through the worst of it. For those of you who feel a connection to
these words, they belong to you as well. With them, you can write your own story,
build your own dream, light the untraveled road ahead. There will be moments of
outrageous bliss, there'll be moments marked by hardship and even some
colorful words, but those moments make even better stories. You'll find your way
to places you never imagined, see things you never thought possible and we'll be
there helping you feel all the comforts of home. I was born from these words and
they still drive me today. I can't wait to see where we go next
