Description

I own no land, instead I have wheelestate. I’ve been a full time RVer since 1997. Working summers as a Park Ranger takes me to many beautiful places and playing during the winter takes me to many more. This blog is simply the story of my life's adventures.

Scenic Sunday - Fall colors along North Kaibab Trail Grand Canyon


The fall colors were almost gone on the North Rim when Amy, Jan and I started down the North Kaibab trail over a week ago.

Gambel Oak
But within 1400 feet (445 meters) down we entered Indian Summer.

The Little House


So yesterday I rearranged the furniture, and there’s quite a bit of it considering the house is about 15x50 feet, plus a bathroom. Used to be a garage that got added on to. And Berta likes furniture, especially old wood.

Kitchen before
I borrowed a little wagon from Berta and began packing boxes from the RV kitchen.

Kitchen after
Not absolutely everything, just the basic things I use regularly. The idea is to get rid of some stuff, like the survival canned food that’s getting rusty on the back of the pantry shelf.

Before
There are two big windows at each end of the house and I wanted a view from the living room where the last renter had the bed by this window.

After
Next, the RV living room, and again not everything. Some books and of course the computer.

Before
Having no interior walls makes it easy to rearrange.

After

Before
And what a luxury to have more than a closet sized bathroom, with hot water.

After

Almost open for business. Just kidding.

SWF - Back to Yarnell Sunset


Gotta’ love the view out my back window. I can take gorgeous sunset photos almost every night. (Note to self: wash the windows.)

Yesterday I got the 5th-wheel off the truck and leveled. Then I rearranged furniture in the little house on the property so I can move in. At least for a little while I’ll have space to spread out. The plan is to empty the RV of everything, high grade some things out and have a yard sale, then scrub the place down and paint the ceiling. This will make it like moving back into a new RV. Of course I also need to replace the hot water heater, and although not cheap is much less than replacing the RV.

Remeber Whensday - First perm 1956


Do you remember how terrible the smell of hair permanents were?

Mom thought her little girl with poker straight hair should have curls.

Guess I really didn’t care if my hair was curly.

Sally from The (Mis) Adventures of Karl and Sally has started a new meme where the past is remembered through sharing old family photographs and this is #20. I love the idea and hope you will too. So join the fun by clicking here.
I'm still on the road so may not get this linked.

Puter trouble after the hike

Got back from the AWESOME four day hike across Grand Canyon.

Last night my friends had to leave for Washington.

I planned to be online checking out posts, labeling hundreds of photos and posting at least a teaser from the hike. But.... my computer crapped. This morning it seemed to be OK. But I can’t seem to download any pics.

Today I have to pack the fifth-wheel to roll tomorrow. So..... don’t know when I’ll be back online.

Missed you all.
