Why name our truck Sharlot?

First things first--We LOVE Sharlot Madbrith Hall.  She has been our beloved heroine since forever and will remain so as long as we live.  Sharlot's Life continues to be inspirational for us in many ways.  We carry her book "Cactus & Pine" where ever we go.

Sharlot was an Adventuress in a myriad of ways.  If she wasn't actually out on an adventure, she was planning an adventure, dreaming of an adventure, listening to someone's adventure or drafting a poem about someone's adventure.

"I was singing my own songs long before I could even spell out the words," Sharlot once said of her early girlhood days.

You can read Sharlot's Wiki here:

Susun and I have been celebrating Sharlot Hall ever since we have been together.  On our very first campfire in 1987, I read Sharlot Hall poems to Susun from my cherished first edition copy of "Cactus & Pine."

By naming our truck Sharlot, we hope to create many more opportunities to honor and celebrate Sharlot Hall's Lore and Legacy.  We also hope that Sharlot's Spirit will grace our Journeys and Adventures and that she will continue to inspire us to travel high and higher, on to higher yet...
