On the road, again
Off and running after several months outfitting my new trailer, the 2025 Keystone Coleman Light 18RX. I have more solar components to install, but have upgraded the car batteries to large 100ah Gel batteries, and using a fast charger to top them up with my generator. The KCL Campground is within sight of Soda Lake. […]
Shutter Scamp Reboot Soon
with the purchase of my new trailer, the 2025 Keystone Coleman Light 18RX, a 22 foot dual axle trailer with a slide out! Functionally this has some major improvements, and some deficiencies too.
Ethel’s Old Corral & Outlaw Country Band
You can’t miss the fried Okra; bomb. Outlaw country played here today, and it was a great time. The patrons bought raffle tickets to help fund the band’s replacement of equipment that fried on the previous week’s gig. Generous friends covered about half of the cost today!

Another first here at the Cowweman River campsite…rain in the Scamp! See my internet setup, there is sketchy cell reception and no internet without it.
The trip has begun
It has been awhile since I have had the time and good internet to report on my travels, and even still my internet is sketchy. The wonderful thing about the Washington forest is the huge trees covering the sky with lush greenery…it’s also why starlink can’t give me reliable signal up or down. I am […]
Oregon, I’m here and in your thickets
It’s been too long since I’ve blogged, I’m sorry. I have been posting on Instagram/Facebook since it’s easier to do with my smartphone, traveling, trying to sort out my Scamp’s travel operations. I closed out my leased 4 bedroom home after donating or disposing of 30 years of stuff, giving the landlord a barest notice […]
