Welcome!

Karen was checking all the 110v outlets for connectivity, open ground or open neutral throughout the cabins. Karen and I got started on Monday, November 2 at Camp of the Hills doing cabin inspections. Before the summer camping season begins, the staff asked us to go through the boys and girls cabins and check all the 110v electrical outlets, lights and smoke alarms for functionality. I inspected the main breaker boxes outside of the cabins for any issues and found them in gen

We departed the RVICS Village in Smithville, TX on October 28th and got back on the road with Trinity, our 35 foot fifth wheel trailer, heading for Camp of the Hills in Marble Falls located in the Texas hill country west of Austin. We don't officially start the project here until Monday, November 2nd, but like to arrrive early enough to get our bearings whenever we arrive at a new location. We also wanted to avoid the rain forecasted for Thursday and Friday; it's no fun sett

From Healdsburg, California to Fernley, Nevada made up the first leg of our journey east on Saturday, September 12. The 275 miles up Interstate 80 took about 6 hours including a couple of stops. Our cargo trailer, with the weight distribution hitch, towed behind the truck with no issues.

In hindsight, 12 days may have been t

Dilemma | dəˈlemə, dīˈlemə |noun: a situation in which a difficult choice has to be made between two or more alternatives. Before entering the water on every dive I find it challenging on what will get my attention. There is so much to see and experience. Hence, over five hundred images are on my computer from the 12 days we spent in the Maldives. Each dive presents multiple opportunities to find something new and unusual. Because of the limitations of field of view due to yo

Our itinerary for this trip was originally going to be 7 days long. But when we found out the trip would end at a different island than our staring point and we would have to fly back to Male, we reconsidered the cost and decided to staying on the boat for the return to Malé five days later. This would make the entire cruise a total of 12 days. This is the longest diving live-aboard we have ever done to date. On the first seven day leg up to the Baa Atoll we had a total of 17
