Yellowstone National Park – Day 2 Crittenden Rd, Tower Fall

I was up at 5:00 AM (despite the campers who were making noise until midnight) and on the road by 6:00 to see things before the mobs hit. First stop was an overlook for a mountain sunrise. Crittenden Road up to Mt Washburn Tower Fall

Yellowstone National Park – Day 1 Canyon, Norris, Prismatic

When I was greeted by a “Parking Lot is Full” sign at Norris I decided to head across Norris Canyon Rd to the Canyon Campground and check in. I set up the tent in a fog of mosquitoes (thank god for Picaridin), got an early dinner, and headed back to Norris around 5:00. I loved […]

Yellowstone National Park Day 1 – Other basins

Continuing on to Biscuit Basin and Firehole Lake Drive. I had to pass on Grand Prismatic since there was a line to even enter  the parking lot. I thought parking was limited last summer at Acadia — the parking at Yellowstone doesn’t come close to matching the crowds and they don’t have a bus system […]

Yellowstone National Park – trip planning

I spent June 25, 26, and 27, 2018 in Yellowstone National Park trying to see as much as I could in a short time. The excessive crowds didn’t help that endeavor a whole lot. There were places I couldn’t even get into the parking lot so I ended up going back late in the day. […]

Flagstaff Travel Trailer Floor Replacement

Since the floor softening issue is so common I wanted to write about my experience getting the floor replaced in my 2017 Flagstaff Micro Lite 25BHS. My apologies for the length. Realizing there was a problem For about 3 years everything sounded fine when I walked around. Then when I stepped certain places the cabinets […]

Flagstaff Travel Trailer Fresh Water Tank Support

There’s an easy solution to the poorly supported fresh water tanks put on so many travel trailers. When the factory has a note in the manual that the trailer should never be moved with water in the tank, they know how puny the support it. I had only filled my water tank one time and […]

Flagstaff Broken Couch Frame Repair

I was aware the back left seat corner of the couch in my travel trailer was broken almost from the time I got it. It was on my list when I went back to the dealer for warranty work. I should have known I was in trouble when they said they’d have to check with […]

Flagstaff TT Murphy Bed Repair

I read about various problems with the Murphy beds in Forest River travel trailers. The aluminum frame that supports the bed seems to be alright, but after 5 years of constant use the piano hinge connecting it to cabinet unit was separating on the left side. It started out small and gradually grew to over […]

Cleaning Stainless Steel Coffee Mug

A little over a year ago I purchased a Mukoko 20 oz Stainless Steel Vacuum Insulated Mug. I like a big cup of coffee in the morning and I have to admit I love this mug. I had grown tired of my coffee getting cold and this mug keeps it warm a long time even […]

The Year of COVID-19

It was a year of isolation, but also injuries. I am so thankful I had made the decision to get a dog in October 2019. In lockdown, isolation, and injury Zoey was my saving grace. Getting out to walk her was a sanity keeper, but not being able to walk her was kind of tough […]
