Bill and Linda's Most Excellent Adventures...Continued | ||||||

What Bill is most proud of, however, is that Linda shares his passion equally. “There are many wives that don’t accompany their husbands at car club events because T-Buckets have no roof and they don’t want to mess up their hair,” he says, noting that Linda cut her waist length hair “short” because she loves the freedom of the T-Bucket.
Since the T-Bucket is a two-seater with no storage, they hitch up a three-foot by four-foot trailer that carries a tent, inflatable beds, sleeping bags, clothes, dishes plus dish pan, raincoats and an inflatable raft. Then they head to the beach, mountains or desert—south to San Diego or north to Oregon—and almost everywhere in between. Bill being the “official” trip planner, often surprises Linda with a night at a luxury hotel or a beautiful rustic cabin with a spa on the porch. “He knows that sometimes I just need to soak in a hot tub and sleep in a soft bed,” she says. “There’s nothing like wandering up little two-lane roads, cruising the back roads of places like Julian, or heading up Highway 1 to Lompoc and even up to Happy Camp in Bigfoot country,” says Bill. “We like to take our time, because every side road is interesting and each has its own unique story.” Linda adds, “We may go to many of the same places, but we never go there the same way. As a result, we’ve traveled some of the most awesome roads imaginable—and our favorite place is every place we visit, because we always stop to enjoy and savor where we are at that moment.” ![]()
Most significantly, the Seals are friends and partners in every one of their adventures. More often than not, they can be found working side-by-side on the T-Bucket, maintaining their property or playing with the grandkids. Bill, who’s 76, affectionately refers to Linda as his “partner in crime.” Linda, 65, says she never envisioned her retirement years to be so full and exciting. And both are delightfully young at heart—and quite determined to stay that way! Page: 1 | 2 |
