Dallas to Vallecito – WINDY!

The trip from Dallas to Vallecito ended up taking forever. I had to delay in Dallas a day because of high wind. On the road to Amarillo the conditions were far windier than I like and at one point I felt the truck and trailer go out of control and an emergency light flashed on […]

Vallecito Resort

After spending a week in Summerdale, AL and 4 weeks here in the Dallas area tackling an enormous to do list and spending way too much money on maintenance, I finally am ready to head to Colorado for my summer gig at Vallecito Resort.          I’ve heard wonderful things about the Vallecito […]

Savannah to Dallas

I I left Fort Pulaski March 11th and felt like it was a good omen when there was a double rainbow as I crossed the bridge leaving Wilmington Island. I finally stopped making travel a beating whenever possible and decided to take 3 days to get to Dallas. A Stone’s Throw RV Park The first […]

Fort Pulaski National Monument

I spend November through mid-March at Fort Pulaski National Monument. I had not been informed that the visitor center was closed due to damage from a tornado the previous May so I didn’t know I would spend the entire winter outside in the cold with no heated place to warm up, no indoor plumbing and […]

Trip from Maine to Savannah Fall 2017

I took my time getting from Acadia down to Savannah. I was blessed with clear skies and no wind for the entire trip. It was awesome to drive in such nice conditions after battling torrential rain and side winds most of the way up to Maine.  Acadia campsite before leaving October 18th. Not it was […]

Cadillac Sunrise for My Birthday!

After arriving in April when it was too cold to do sunrise on Cadillac and then waiting for the mobs of people to subside, I decided doing sunrise on Cadillac Mountain was the perfect way to start my birthday in October. The crowds would be less so parking would be easier. Wrong. I arrived an […]

Thomas Elton Tape Transcription – Tape 1 Side 1

Childhood through Great Depression (approx 1896 to 1932) Preface: My grandfather and grandmother homesteaded in North Dakota in the early 1900’s. I adored my grandma and grandpa. Grandpa was born in 1888 and grandma in 1893. Unfortunately grandma died when I was 5 years old, but grandpa lived to be 97. By 1980 he was […]

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 […]
