Winter’s coming, let’s go car camping!
Pull up a warm seat by the fire and let’s talk about a misunderstood outdoor activity. When you think about camping in the cold, Im sure your mind jumps to images of being buried in the snow, ice sickles on your nose and no feeling in your toes.

The 61 International Scout is off to the side waiting for parts. If anyone ever asks you why you have so many projects, this is why. It’s nice to jump to something else while you wait.

I really enjoy overland podcasts where overlanders are interviewed. With a family and a full timeContinue reading “Thoughts from the cab #1”
Busy Busy Busy
Its been a much busier winter than expected. A lot has changed since last August, a career change along with a move to our new farmhouse in the country.
