It is very interesting in our travels that we run into things that interest us. We have attended two of the biggest RV shows - not by planning, it just happened we were nearby. This happened again to support my new hobby. My new hobby is HAM or amateur radio. My Uncle helped me get... Continue Reading →
Internet on the road
I still work while we are on this adventure, and need reliable internet. Campground WI-FI ranges from non-existent to very unreliable. When we first started, we were using cellular internet "hotspot" from our phones. This works great - if you have good cell signal. We have been surprised at how poor cell signal is in...

X Marks the Spot if You Have the Wiggles
Howe (our trailer - Home on Wheels) has the wiggles. With proper chocks under the wheels, and the stabilizers down, it still feels wiggly when walking in it. Stabilizers on smaller travel trailers are not levelers. They are designed to stabilize the trailer once it is leveled. Even with Howe leveled and stabilized, you can... Continue Reading →
Car Show! Got to see Matt!
So, a hobby of mine is watching entirely too much YouTube. I watch things that pique my interest. I grew up on a small farm, so I watch The Millennial Farmer. His 10 year old son was driving a tractor and grain cart that was worth more than the entire farm that I grew up... Continue Reading →

Here is the process I followed the first few times: I disconnected the city water hose from the trailer.I then opened the drains for the hot and... Continue Reading →
Do we have gas?
Catchy title, huh? It is not what you think! Propane keeps your RV warm, gives you hot water, stove and oven, and in some cases your refrigerator. It is a big challenge in winter is to make sure you have enough propane. You need it to keep yourself warm, but also to keep the pipes... Continue Reading →
Craters of the Moon
We left our trailer at the KOA, and drove to Craters of the Moon National Monument. We had been there before, but I got a new passport book, and a goal is to get as many stamps as possible in the book. A lofty goal would be to get all of the national parks stamped!... Continue Reading →
Internet – when we want it, where we want it
We live in an age where internet is a necessity. We are not in the position to retire, so I need reliable internet to work from any location we happen to be in. From my experience, campground wireless internet is hit and miss. Even if I am connected, it is not fast enough even for... Continue Reading →
