Just a quick idea: I was doing my pre-trip inventory when I heard thunder and decided to high-tail it into the house before the skies let loose. But, before I left the job too undone, I snapped off several pictures of the area I was inventorying. Didn’t take but a few minutes and I was…

We are both teachers that love to explore and play in the great outdoors whenever we can, especially during the summer. It also gives our little guy a chance to see the world beyond the small corners of our town.
Camper do overs
APeek of Before Couch, cushions and valances done in camper. If I were to do it again I would open the couch out to redo it. Hopefully it will last a couple of years. We need new greenery along the top and I think we will be good to go.

Jim came up with a clever way to funnel the water into the water inlet of the camper. Jim figures that he carried 108 pounds of water on…
Oops
Did I say practice run? It’s a good thing because of course we forgot stuff! Firewood is not easily found here in the woods. Of course the ranger station is out. Always have some as a backup plan. Just remember you cannot take It across state lines. Then there’s the dry bag for the canoe…
