A Day to Remember
Thursday, September 18, 2025 Walkie told us to return in the morning so he could install a new air filter and clean the sensors. He called in an order for the filter yesterday, saying it would be delivered about 9:00. We arrived at 9:45. I wondered how he could get reliable deliveries in his remote…

Nokomis Trail
August 17, 2025 August 17, 2025 47 degree low; high 66 I went outside at 4am to see the stars and took 4 iPhone pictures while lying on the picnic table. I have no idea what this is. We were sore and tired from hiking, but it was going to be a sunny day in…

Bradley Fork And a Leaking Fresh Water Tank
Saturday, September 25, 2021 50 deg at 3:00 AM Batteries at 79%, 82% last night (There are no hookups in GSMNP) It’s been sunny every day, but sun only hits the panels from 2:30-4:00. The rest of the day I’m getting 1.5A. Takes 10A to run the furnace in the morning set at 58 deg.…

Errands in The Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Friday, September 24, 2021 47° at 3:00AM As I lay in bed, slowly waking up, I thought it unlikely the fresh water tank was leaking in two places, although possible with all the bumps and jolts I give it driving rough highways at 70 mph. At Highland Haven, I had trouble closing the drain cock…

Move to Lockston Path Provincial Park
Friday, August 23, 2019 We drove 4 hours to the middle of the Bonavista Peninsula. It is a 3-4 km drive on a gravel road to get to the park. We were a bit early, so Martha chatted with the people moving out of the campsite. Just as we were getting settled, we noticed…

Drive Back Down Coast to Shallow Bay Campground
Friday, August 2, 2019 It had been rainy, cloudy and cold in Pistolet Bay for three days, and it was getting to Martha. She talked about how cloudy and cold makes her sad. 46 years of marriage, and I am still learning. I went to Woodward GMC in St. Anthony’s to have the oil changed.…

Martha Arrives
Tuesday, July 16, 2019 Martha is coming tonight at 11:45. She left specific instructions that everything had to be clean. I checked off the list: The truck is clean and the trailer has been washed. Despite the accident, all other systems seem to be working. I have patched the roof, and hopefully stopped the leak.…

A Day of Projects
Monday, July 25, 2019 A nice couple had stopped to admire the Airstream. They were from Newfoundland, but moved to Nova Scotia to be near their children. There are no grandchildren yet, but they were taking care of the dog this week. I asked if they knew a place where I might wash the Airstream.…

Profile Stateline Superstore
Friday, July 12, 2019 I wasn’t sure when Tom and Dickey were going to be able to patch my Airstream. Could be today, tomorrow or next week. I didn’t know whether to rebook campgrounds or cancel more, and I didn’t know where to stay tonight. I just knew it wasn’t here. I was hungry and…

A Day in Lebanon
Friday, July 11, 2019 We got an early start for Boston, leaving a little before 6:00. An hour and a half trip without traffic, we made it in a little over two after stopping at McDonald’s for breakfast. Boston is a busy, hectic city. Kelly jumped out of the truck in front of the train…
