So we've been looking around for awhile and we FINALLY found the perfect tour van. It is a 2000 Dodge Ram 8 passenger van in perfect condition. We definitely got a steal!!! Now, we're excited to hit the road again and try it out. Before summer's end, we will be going to Wyoming, Idaho, Washington, and maybe other locations (it's a surprise!). Then, we're gearing up for a Arizona/West Coast tour in September. Keep in contact and we'll let you know where we'll be playing and when.
