How cool is that!

 

Very!

 

WOW!!! How did you find this place? Just a "hey that's cute!" on a realtor site? Definately a gem. I'm jealous.

 

Looks like I get 1 more trip this year

A Couple of men from my Parish (church) are interested in camping, one does car camping converting his SUV into a rolling bedroom capable of stealth camping.

The other has some equipment, but never used it. We went about 4 weeks ago, and he had an enjoyable trip. He even kept the "hang tag" as a moment I think I've created a monster He is even talking about a road-toad.

Looking for a location to go the weekend before thanksgiving. The good news is most sites are walk-up only, and those you can reserve are readily available this time of year.

Looking forward to the trip -- a bottle of rally good Japanese whisky (I know --- there's supposed to ben E --- but its how they spell it) is likely an endanger species at this point and maybe --- just maybe --- a prime rib on the smoker if I so decide

 

Yes found it on zillow and bought it sight unseen after a detailed inspection.

 

Bold move

 

Timms hill is a great place. The tower in fall when the leaves are changing
is spectacular.

 

My Wisconsin shaped Adirondack chairs in Packer colors arrived a few days ago.

Go Packers!

 

Wow, quick adaptation to your new home. Who do you cheer for when they play the Seahawks??

 

Packers all the way!

 

I was talking to a neighbor and she said she pained my house. I’ve also met the person that did the drywall. We continued to talk and some of the things she was saying wasn’t making any sense. Then I realized she was talking about an oil painting of my house.

Oh.....

 

Hitler. There was a painter! He could paint an entire apartment in one afternoon!

2 Coats!

 

Boy, you can tell camping season is over --- this place has gotten quiet!

Yesterday we were in the low 70s with a beautiful blue sky, with a warm sun, today it's in the 50's, and tomorrow we are expecting our first snowfall. It won't stick, and it won't be more than a dusting....what a difference a few hours makes.

I stumbled upon this picture, and realized that the 14'th, Monday, is the 1st anniversary of us picking up our camper. Since then, 75 nights and 6080 miles traveled, hoping for 1 more weekend before we put it away until spring. Most of our travels have been regional but with at least one trip to Florida last spring.

It's with great sadness that we found that the campground we went too in Florida has been sold and the new owners of the land will not be running the business. So now I must again, much like the mythical Ponce de León search for the fountain of youth, find a campsite in the dead of winter. Or, figure out how to set up my to go into semi-retirement at. I know how to run businesses --- but starting them, debt free --- is a lot harder.

I haven’t been camping in about a year although I stayed in RV parks for several months last fall. I’m hoping to do lots of camping or teardrop traveling next summer.

 

Me too This year has been about family. While I am in no hurry to see change there, I really am aching to see the southwest....

 

I admit my bias, but the west has some of the absolute best national and state parks. Well worth a trip if one has never been.

 

I don't doubt a moment is worth the time -- admittedly, people don't fly from Tokyo to Indiana to see Brown County State Park --- autumn central. By they do come from hundreds of miles in every direction passing dozens of similar parks along the way.

We don't have the massive parks that days half a day (or more?) to drive through, like a Yoesmite or Valley of Fire. But we do have dozens if not hundreds of smaller parks that combined would make up months of travel.

I dunno, I think of it like buying a huge ham for Christmas Day vs shaved ham from a deli for tuesday. A massive chunk, or thin slices. Same substance but different forms. Giving both the advantage depending entirely on the need at the time.

What I can say certainly is I am looking forward to having my mind changed

 

I’ve lived in the northwest all my life and over the decades have explored the 18 western states many times. Some of the national parks were my destination dozens of times. Now that I’m living in Wisconsin I want to the the parks east of the Mississippi.
