I met Cascade Camper Van owner John Poplett at the 2021 East Coast Cascade Camp Out during Father’s Day weekend (June 18-20th) in Glenville, West Virginia.
John Poplett is over six decades in age with unusual life experiences and wisdom to match. He shared a recent “hillbully” encounter over a night fire 🔥 at the camp out. John is quite the philosopher and has a writer’s heart and soul! https://johnpoplett.com/2021/06/22/ode-to-the-adventure-prone/
John Poplett and another Cascade owner Marshall K. live in their vans full-time. I asked John what kind of provisions does he carry inside his van? Immediately he replied can goods, rice, drinking water, and other foods that don’t require much refrigeration. John even had some delicious sauerkraut he shared after Larry A. grilled us some bratwursts over an open fire for Sunday morning breakfast, during the last day of the camp out.
I woke up early to make a quick video while everyone was asleep including John. He left his red, collapsible chair bags outside his van. The sound of wildlife and birds resembled a nature’s rehearsing orchestra! Even the crows were cawing before 6:00 a.m. I really enjoyed the solitude of knowing the wildlife, birds, and I were all awake to hear their pretty songs. I hope you watch the attached video and listen to nature’s morning, glorified sounds in a remote, Little Bull Run “Holler” (hay field meadow) of Glenville, West Virginia…almost heaven.
Sunday morning performance by the WV Wildlife Orchestra of birds 🦅 and critters.
