Two dogs, two people, one RV. What could go wrong?
I am married to a Street Rodder. Among many traits, he is a man who looks beyond the vehicle he owns to the next best thing. It's reasonable to expect that we wouldn't keep the motor home we currently own for long. It is winter, and for several reasons we are unable to travel to... Continue Reading →
We're tooling down the highway on the trek back to Ohio, in the slow lane. We prefer seondary roads so when we're on two-lane highways we pull over when we can to let others with busy-ness on their minds roar by. I used to hate the idea of following some big camper rigged with bicycles and towing... Continue Reading →
In Ohio, August is all about hot dusty days and unrelenting humidity. In Canada, this particular August has not displayed the kind of heat I am used to. The days have been sunny and clear, with a brisk wind that is a breath of autumn to come. We have been on Prince Edward Island (PEI)... Continue Reading →
When I met her I thought her to be much older, as her face is white and the rest of her fur is red and feathery, but she is four. Her white hair developed when she was two. At first it was thought that she might have a thyroid problem, but testing cleared her health.... Continue Reading →
A day earlier we attempted to kayak along the Fundy coast. By the time we put in, the wind and waves were co-conspirators in knocking us back onto the shore.

UPDATE July 2020: I was reviewing this post from 2015 and found that Steve's website is no more. Here is a 2006 article about his rig, from the website of RV Business: Man Powers RV with Used Fast Food Oil A powerful smell of french fries accompanied the big rig that pulled in beside us....

We're off to our usual slow start. There's something about our departure process that impedes our ability to make a clean getaway. We had agreed that we'd get underway at 9 AM. First we had breakfast and a detour after that to Tim Horton's for Ben's ritual travel snack of coffee and Tim Bits, which... Continue Reading →
Deaf folks are everywhere. The average person will walk right by a Deaf person without realizing there is anything different unless they try to initiate a conversation. People seem to be freaked out when they are confronted by a person who does not use spoken language. I've watched hearing people deal with foreign language speakers,... Continue Reading →
The average coach is a self-sufficient unit. It will hold anywhere from 25 to 100 gallons of fresh water and an equal capacity of gray/blackwater. Batteries and generators keep the lights and electronics humming at the touch of a button. It's a biosphere in a can, so to speak. I had come to this rally... Continue Reading →
For our first trip this summer, Ben planned a surprise trip. I did not know where we were going until Friday, when I found out we were going south. Once we crossed into Kentucky, he broke the news. We are on our way to Eastpoint Florida. Oddly named, since there is little about it that... Continue Reading →
