2014: Rifle Gap

By On July 5, 2015 · Leave a Comment

This state park in Colorado surrounds a reservoir deep in the rockies but not to far off I-25.  The drive in takes you through a small town where we stopped for a meal.  The town is filled with gas workers working the many rigs in the area.  After deciding we’re against all that […]

The Great NorthWest Coast Adventure

By On June 21, 2015 · Leave a Comment

Got a wild idea to take a two-week journey and visit the Pacific Northwest — specifically the Seattle and Portland area.  We’ve been talking about taking a visit out there for the last few years. And now that we’ve got the Pod, why not try to “camp-it out”.  No hotel expense. We can take the […]

What happened to us?

By On June 15, 2015 · Leave a Comment

Nothing other than life in general.  We didn’t post anything last year because we spent the summer planning and living a big trip to the Pacific Northwest (more on that in another post), dealing with a unexpected job change (but one that turned out to be financially beneficial – I should have left a long […]

Trip 3: Chatield State Park

Our next trip was another easy one, practically just down the street.   I planned on a 45 minute drive leaving plenty of time to setup the first day.  That plan was quickly erased can as someone flipped a cement truck on I-25 (he didn’t make it, BTW) which left many people exiting Colorado Springs waiting […]

Trip two is under the belt and things just keep getting better.  This time around we chose a destination that didn’t require as many traverses over high mountain passes:  Buena Vista, CO.  Buena Vista is only about 1.5  to 2 hours from Colorado Springs and the Wilkerson Pass (9500ft) is the only pass.  […]

Geek mod: wireless speakers

By On July 23, 2013 · Leave a Comment

It wasn’t the first mod we did, but it’s the first one where the photos are ready.  I snipped the lousy speakers in the DVD/TV/Radio and wired in some bluetooth speakers with a bit more oomph, mobility and coolness.

Once I get the DLP projector hooked up to a Raspberry Pi I’ll be able to […]

Trip 1: Ridgeway State Park, CO

By On July 20, 2013 · 2 Comments

Our first trip in the pod happened in June.  It was a trial run, our chance to find what kind of trouble we’ve gotten ourselves into.  Turns out it wasn’t much trouble.  Except for the heat of summer, which required leaving the A/C running full time, we had a wonderful time.

Some things we learned:

So here we go….

This is a place to tell the world about our adventures with three dogs in a Forest River R-Pod. The dogs you’ve met: Reba, Bailey and Cody.  Bailey and Cody are pure-bred Golden Retrievers, but not related.  Reba is a rescue that we’re pretty sure is related to a Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.  […]
