Highway Products Pickup Pack
Monday, July 17, 2017 I went to Highway Products spending the morning as they installed the Pickup Pack and Truck Slide. JD gave me a tour of the factory, where everything is welded or drilled and bolted. They powder coat a lot and can make almost any color. There was a very cool, white work…

Solar Installation Naples, Florida
March 26, 2017 The whole reason for this great trip was to have state of the art solar installed on the Airstream. After many hours of research and considering doing it myself, I found the best man for the job was Lew Farber in Naples. Lew splits his time between Oregon and Naples. I am…

Quebec City
58℉ at 6:00am, high 86 (that’s plenty hot in the sun!) Thursday, August 18, 2016 It’s a short drive down Rt. 73 that goes directly into the old Quebec City. We didn’t get into town until 11:00, and we found the streets crowded and the sidewalks filled with tourists. It’s tough to park a pickup…
