Fans of National Lampoon's Family Vacation were excited to see a familiar looking vehicle rolling into Estes Park this week, as a family truckster look-alike made its way to town for a visit.

It wasn't the Griswold's who hopped out of the station wagon, but instead the Lant family of Nebraska, who cleverly recreated the famous vehicle a few years ago after experiencing some tough times together. The truckster went through some different design phases over the past three years, with the Lant's focus purely on bringing a smile to people's faces as they traveled around the country on vacation.

The Lantpoon's will be enjoying Estes for the rest of the week, and you can follow along with the rest of their adventures @LantpoonsVacation2019.
