Welcome to our Website!

Greetings... and welcome to our website! Come on in... stay awhile... and make yourself at home. My name is Don Custer, and my wife's name is Darlene. We are a retired couple living in/near the small community of Rimertown (Rimer), North Carolina. Rimertown is in Cabarrus County, and is located about 16 miles northeast of the Charlotte Motor Speedway. It is about half way between the small towns of Mt. Pleasant and Rockwell, and within a half hour's drive from the larger cities of Concord, Kannapolis, and Salisbury. Interstate 85 is about 8 miles from us, and downtown Charlotte is about an hour away. We are also conveniently located about four hours away from either the beach or the mountains. Darlene and I were both born and raised in the Eastern-Ohio / Western-Pennsylvania area. We moved to North Carolina in June of 1985, and we will most likely spend the rest of our lives here. We like North Carolina, especially the climate, and think it's a darn nice place to live. Darlene and I were married in January 1973. We have two sons, and four grandchildren (two boys and two girls).

Darlene and I have been together for a long time (almost forty years), and we have shared a wide variety of interests during that time. As we look back in time, it is very clear that nearly every activity we have been seriously involved with has, in one way or other, been centered around nature and our love of the outdoors. I suppose the best way to describe us to to say that we are like most other average retired couples, but with a few quirks. Our answer to a night at the opera is sitting around a campfire late in the evening listening to the various sounds coming from the woods. Fine dining is a nice juicy steak perfectly cooked on our little grill at whatever location we might be camping on no particular night. Sightseeing is driving our Jeep far back into a remote area that rarely sees human traffic and enjoying nature the way it was created, not the way a landscape designer thought it should look. I could go on, but hopefully you have the idea. I don't know if we will eventually get too old for this sort of thing, but I surely hope not... at least for a few more years. As Darlene and I are probably best known for our involvement in the 4WD community the theme of our website will be mainly centered around camping, our Jeeps and how we got them, plus their history and modifications. We hope you enjoy your visit.
