VIEW FROM ATOP OUR MOTOR HOME THIS MORNING (CANON SX210IS)

It is always a positive and encouraging sign when I see Kelly carrying things out to the Motor Home.   Kind of puts that official, 'yes we're going,’ stamp of approval on the trip.

Short drive in the Jeep this morning and Motorcycle this afternoon.  A fair number of bikes on the road today so I managed to get myself in a half dozen big HOWDY DOODY waves.  Three trips around the forest trail with the Pheebs today too.

Thank you ‘Dakota Blue’ for climbing aboard our Blog Follower’s list.  Hopefully things will get a little more interesting around here when we hit the road in 3 weeks.DSC_0002

<<< NEW BIRD CAM  (NIKON D90)

I was the surprised recipient of a brand new large format Bird Cam this afternoon.  And, it came all the way up from the States.  In fact, it came from Cracker Barrel.  Kelly was working today at DEER PARK LODGE when Ron and Jan Krauter dropped in on their way to Goderich with something for AL.  Ron is the personable fellow who owns FOUR SEASONS PERFORMANCE where we traded in our truck and fifth wheel for a Motor Home back in the Spring of 07.  Ron knew of my interest in photography and must have seen a couple of my bird photos so when he spied this Bird Cam at a Cracker Barrel awhile back, he picked it up.  A big thanks Ron and yep, I’ll have that Bird Cam in action right quick.  And, for anyone in our area thinking of buying a Motor Home, be sure to give Ron a call.  We’re sure glad we did.  By the way, that Bird Cam is actually a rather cleverly constructed…………….birdhouse Smile

It was the title, '10 Things I Wished I Had Known Before Fulltime RVing' that caught my attention this morning.  I like the RVing lifestyle of  WHEELING IT.  We can sure identify with their way of doing things.  I like the content of their blog and writing style.  Informative and helpful to other RV'ers.  And, they understand and appreciate the peacefulness of nature in their RV travels.

  2. How did you get your bird cam to look like it's just hanging in space? Some kind of hovering satellite thingy? Nifty! :) Wish I had one...

  5. Cool bird cam. What a nice gift.

    Has Pheebe been for many rides in the motorhome? Hopefully she will love it just as much as Max and Checkers did. Sounds like the countdown is on.

  7. We've been reading Wheeling It's post for some time now. They have a beautiful way of describing their adventures, and a great personal style of travel. We are looking forward to following them for quite a while.

    Yes, how did you suspend that Bird Cam in the photo! Not nice to keep secrets from your friends!
