    Luna is crossing the rainbow bridge

    Thank you...we are in a daze. We are trying to get the bus repaired so we can get back on the road...but the not having her on her Luna loveseat is going to be heartbreaking. Our other 2 dogs keep looking for her... We knew this day was coming...we thought we were prepared. we're not. I so...

    Luna is crossing the rainbow bridge

    We had to say good bye to our black lab Luna today.  We'd been held up on leaving Ohio due to the bus breaking down yesterday...then today Luna took a turn for the worse.  A few weeks ago we got blood work showing she was probably in liver failure.  Today she couldn't stand up.  Our hearts are...

    Doggy altitude sickness

    The pay is MUCH better...to the tune of over $650/month more. :)That will make a huge difference in us making this work, esp since Luna's new medication is $150/month! About the winter... Right now we are not sure. :)  We were planning on the beet harvest but this job lasts longer and the timing...

    Doggy altitude sickness

    Well plans written in jello must be contagious...:) We have had a change in plans and are now going to be camp hosting in California...in the Giant Sequoia National Forest at Redwood Meadow campground. The altitude there is only 6400 ft. This will be much easier on the girls. Thanks everyone...

    Doggy altitude sickness

    Thanks Bob! We are planning on starting in the San Luis Valley.  We visited there a couple of times last year and it's one of my favorite places.  There is some BLM around Salida that I think we are going to start with.  Hoping the weather holds out but if not we'll dodge south. ::) at least...

    Doggy altitude sickness

    We had our vet visit today. He felt that as long as we took our time acclimating and kept their activity levels low for a week or so that they should be fine. They all have great sounding hearts and lungs. :) Awesome news considering the girls are 13 & 16 yrs old! Crosby is only 5. We plan to...

    Saying Good Bye To Bindi

    We're so sorry!  Jer & I send all our love.  I know nothing will fill that void you feel right now, but know you did the right thing.  I wish we could somehow make this better for you...hugs and light to you guys.

    Doggy altitude sickness

    I have a vet appt next Monday, I am hoping they have some good advice. I'm just not sure how much experience they'll have in that area since we are in Ohio. I know it will be important to let them acclimate and we plan on spending the month of May in Colorado slowly testing the altitudes And...

    Doggy altitude sickness

    Hi, we are slated to camphost at an elevation of 10,000. We have 3 dogs who are used to Ohio altitudes.  2 of them are older. Is taking them to that high of an altitude for the summer something we should be worried about? I am not generally bothered by altitude so it is something I just plain...

    Our bus is 35ft, Diesel.  Cummins engine with an automatic Allison transmission.  We are currently in Ohio for a couple of months, turning our house over to a realtor (being unsuccessful in our for sale by owner) and taking care of a few things including a couple of repairs on the bus.  We just...

    Soap Making

    Hi!, We have a school bus conversion and LOVE it!  We also had no trouble getting a camp host position and was offered a job at the first one I applied to almost immediately (American Land & Leisure).  They seemed to be excited by it actually (that and the fact we didn't need hook ups).  The...

    Van vs Skoolie

    We have a converted school bus, '92 Thomas.  I LOVE the bus!. There are 2 of us and 3 large dogs and it gave us enough space to not feel cramped.  It also allowed us to have a bathroom area as well. We installed a compost toilet and have a shower set up with a garden pond and...
