We left you in our last post as we arrived to Assateague Island National Seashore on a beautiful spring evening. We also shared the sad news about Emma's illness, so we'll start with an update before taking you back to Assateague. Emma is still with us. She is such a tough old girl, stoically fighting … Continue reading Assateague Part 2
We are a bit lazy. We usually choose the twin beds option in our van and don't bother setting up the king size bed. The only snag in this operation is having Emma jumping between both beds and sharing the limited space of the twin bed with us during the night. If you have twin … Continue reading Dog Bed Hack
We are about to leave on a short trip to Assateague National Seashore so we thought it would be a good idea to test the newly replaced toilet before we leave. It was a good idea because we pressed the pedal and nothing happened. The toilet is not working. After the initial panic settled we … Continue reading Black Tank Sensor Bypass
The time has come to take Buffy in for the big fix. The toilet needs to be replaced and the dead battery needs to be tested and possibly replaced as well. We drove to the outskirts of London Ontario to Forest City Motorhomes, our trusted dealer (unfortunately out of business now...) who had a new … Continue reading The Big Fix
We love writing about our travels; recreate images of beautiful destinations, life on the road, wildlife encounters, interesting characters that we met along the way, and perhaps a splash of a back road story. These are our ideal posts. Instead, here we are writing about winter, dead batteries, serpentine belts, and broken toilets. If this is … Continue reading Leaky Cowls And Frozen Belts

It's time to review our Carado Banff campervan. It's been 6 months since we bought our Carado Banff - a Class B motorhome. We had several opportunities to test it out in different weather conditions and during trips of varying lengths and it's time to pause and examine the pros and cons of RVing and traveling in a small Class B RV.
Texas was just down the road from our last campsite. We decided to head south before finally heading north towards home. The weather in the mid and northern states was much colder than usual and Texas was our last hope of getting bit of warmth and sunshine. We drove though El Paso and just stopped for … Continue reading Desert Hopping – Sonora to Chihuahua
If you don't don't like donkeys, cacti, or rocks, don't even bother clicking on this link or reading on! We started a slow retreat east, and at one point we will sadly have to start heading north. in the meantime, we were able to boondock in a few areas that we would really like to … Continue reading Burros, Cacti, and Rocks (The Desert Is Boring They Say…)
We are back in Yuma. The temperatures are climbing and the weather forecast for the next few days will be sunny and warm. But we have a bit of a situation on our hands. Finally we go boondocking! We headed out to Fortuna Pond, just north of Yuma, to boondock on BLM land. There were … Continue reading Just when the weather was getting better…
