It's coming down to the wire as Jeff and I work at getting things ready for our first camping trip of the season at Deep Creek Lake in western MD. We're still hoping for a mystery guest to join us, but have not heard anything back yet. I hope this post serves as a bit of cage rattling ( Read more... )

In a first, I went to PA to help out Jeff's parents without Jeff. It was strange to have time spent up there without him. I had other reasons as well ( Read more... )

Gorgeous day today. I decided to make the best of it doing stuff outside. I climbed up on the trailer roof and installed the two Maxx-Air vent covers I had picked up last weekend. Now I can leave the two roof vent/fans open and not worry about the rain getting in. The latter was sometimes a bit of a humorous occurrence when it would rain in the ( Read more... )

This weekend was our last camping trip to Hillside, wrapping up four trips there, a trip to Deep Creek Lake, and, of course, Provincetown. Seems like it was not long ago that Jeff and I were planning these trips and so looking forward to them. Now they are ones for the history books. Where does the time go ( Read more... )

Well, another vacation has come and gone. This one definitely ranks well in the upper percentile. The weather was perfect, the food to die for, and the friends, both old and new, sealed this one as one of our best. So much to catch up on, it will take a few posts. I'll never begin to catch up on past LJ entries, so I ain't bothering. If there is ( Read more... )

Both of us are keeping our fingers crossed in hopes our little long weekend vacation coming up will happen. To that end, we will be getting things ready and preparing. We both really need this little escape. Also, the trailer that is currently parked in the upper driveway in front of the house will be left temporarily at Jeff's parent's place ( Read more... )

I was absent from LJ for the past few days, and with good reason. It was Jeff's birthday on Friday, and to celebrate, we hauled the trailer up to western Maryland to Deep Creek Lake. Once again we set up the trailer at Deep Creek Lake State Park, an area with deep personal meaning to me, as it was my first place I ever went camping, probably at 6 ( Read more... )

I've been lax in my posting, but what else is new, huh ( Read more... )

Jeff and I took advantage of the rainy weather and being unable to do much yard/outdoor work and did some serious Costco shopping, a fruitless stop at Best Buy, a couple things from Giant, two PC fans and a drive enclosure from Radio Shack and a haul of plants from Lowes. Among the haul was a new 24" display for the studio PC. I'm loving it. My ( Read more... )

Through determination and sheer luck, Jeff actually managed to get through to Hillside on Saturday, which was the first day of reservations. We managed to snag decent (and trailer-friendly) spots for the second and third bear weekends and car show/wrestling weekend. We wont be doing the first bear weekend this time because we'll be at Deep Creek ( Read more... )
