Last night after dinner (in the spirit of trying to explore a little more around our house when we're home) we went for a beautiful hike on a different section of the Wildwood Trail. Turns out there's this grove of giant sequoias, about 3 minutes from our house. Hey! How…

I recently got us a new first aid kit for the Airstream. I'd built one before with some basics, but the more we boondock out in the middle of nowhere, the more I think we really should have something more complete. This one (Metal First Aid Kit, Large, Best Made,…

A while back I wrote about putting some of those little Command hooks by the front door for sunglasses (at the bottom of this post). They were fine, but then I found these at Storables: Forma Suction Razor Cups! I bought two at first for our toothbrushes, but after using…

Well, we're here. We had a major hitch problem just as we were pulling out of Skamokawa, but we were able to MacGyver a fix that let us get to our next spot (whew!) and there are now parts on their way to us. Will break down the hitch issue…

Last night after dinner (clams!!) we went for a walk down on the beach. It's not a very long beach when the tide is high, so last night's walk was a little short. When we came back to the Airstream it had gotten dark enough for all the solar lights…
