Haven't joined the Keystone Cruiser yet, but just recently imported a HZJ73 from Japan. Took a long time to get it registered and titled in Scranton, Pennsylvania, but now it's up and running. Will welcome any advice on this beauty - first Land...
I just booked T17 for Thurs 7/11 to Sat 7/13. May bring one of my girls, they’re 10 and 7. But may also just make it a solo weekend. Either way, I’m in.

I’ll put this on the calendar. Maybe just me and my older daughter who’s 10, maybe wife and the younger one too who will be almost 7. Be good to get them out camping and on the trails.
