Simply Whats Up!
Hey all, I have been camping in Colorado for a while now. It's been awesome! What a beautiful state. Rolling streams, tall fir trees, mosquitos, lakes, beautiful dispersed camping sites that are near towns. Towns with health food stores! and little stores or Merchantiles. Driving on 2 lane highways and roads with wildlife crossing the road or simply enjoying the muchies just off the roadside. Ozzie, as I mentioned in a recent YouTube video, did have a mini stroke or seisure around the time of the Traveler's Camp Fest (TFC). The TFC organizer and fouinder had a few issues this year. Because of RV mechanical problems, he was late arriving, and because of the crazy amount of mosquitos at Clearwater Lake Resovour, many of us had moved to a remote location outside of Buena Vista. We all, the founder/organizer as well, enjoyed a nice small get together in spite of the changes. And, yes, Ozzie is doing fine. Occasionally his little tongue hangs out of his mouth but it doesn't alw...

My good friend Bob Wells and CBS talk about it. I no longer use a van - but I am all in as a homes on wheels, alternative housing, lifetime traveler advocate! https://youtu.be/ndHJn_kMJXE
What's Up Wednesday!
Monday, Ozzie and I decided that it was time to travel! So we packed up the car and by 7:30 am we were on the road. Because of the recent rains, we needed to stop in St John's at the Post Office to pick up the Amazon packages that had come in last week. We then drove route 180 over to Holbrook. It feels so good to be on the road. And I have changed since my last travels - I noticed things that I hadn't before. Did you know that Holbrook has an actual A&W Restaurant?! How kewl is that. I think I will plan to stop for lunch the next time I pass through. Onion rings and a root beer float (well a taste of one)! As we were leaving Holbrook, we noticed the Kiwanis Dog Park. So we stopped and Ozzie got some excessive. He seemed a little afraid of the rusty steel 'Woof 66' dog cut out. We really had a very relaxing trip to Winslow. Then stopped by Walmart for a few groceries. I thought we were going to meet up with Dave Diffner and then go over to the Mt Hood campsite. He w...
Simply Poopie!
After a busy week I am finally straightening up after the GTG. This year's event was great and we had some lovely people here.... and I have an annoyingly nasty comment to make. Trash. I am pretty vocal about how to dispose of trash at MY property. I use a burn barrel for wood scraps, paper, burning labels off food cans (like a vegetable or chili can). I have a public toilet set up where a porta potty can be dumped. I have bins for aluminum - which gets donated to the local church; one for glass and items that cannot be burned - like old lighters, aerosol cans and plastic bottles. I inform people who visit, often through email, then verbally how to use my system. Some people blow me off in mid sentence because they know better than me what to do. Now I also allow both dog poop to be bagged and burned and human waste bags to be burned --- with strict instructions to burn small amounts, douce it good with lighter fluid and burn it thoroughly. Well - as you can see by the pictur...
Simply a successful GTG!
and fun too! Most everyone has moved onto their next location. One person is waiting for another package delivery then rolls out. We had a great time. I especially liked the new hike and band - we so will continue with those. The weather was good. Company a good mix. My GTGs are small in overall size. Though there's room for more campers and even overflow space available. We had 8-10 campers. Dinner seems to always be a hit! We had between 25-30 this year. I can roasted 3 boneless legs of lamb. We baked 8 loaves of unleavened bread - Lisa helped and we made lots of different flavors. I think the cinnamon and honey was the favorite! The hike to the Petroglyphs was fantastic! Thanks to my friend and neighbor Tim. Many of us agree that he should start Tim Tours! He is both entertaining and educational as a guide. And thoughtful and kind good qualities for dealing with a group. Even I made it to the top! I got pretty dizzy and faint feeling almost to the top and had to rest until the ...
