^^^ that kind of weather......alright. It's getting cold here too and I've had Vegetable Soup on my agenda. But I'm working on recipes I'll be able to use on the road that are quick and easy to do. So I made this last night. Turned out quite good and I think this will be my new go to...

Right around 12:34 in the video he mentions Montana (and possibly others) clamping down on LLC and presumably 15 501 c3 tax exempts who use that in order to write off the cost of such large RV's. I figure that will dampen the sales of many RV's. In the past anyone could visit the "Universal...

Sorry to hear of your allergy. Perhaps grape or a combination of flavors that would approximate cherry. Where I live we have Kroger stores like Ralph's and others the chain. They sell this Cranberry Cherry Jello for nearly $5 a pound container in their Deli. You can use that recipe to make...

With the fall season comes cranberries and sweet potatoes or yams. Cranberry Pecan Sweet Potato Bake If you rig doesn't have an oven and you have some room for one of these, a Dutch Oven may be worth thinking about. Some have legs under them for cooking in campfires and others are stove...

Here's a contact page for Northern Fridge. They may have a link in their website they can guide you to that has the manual you can look at online or download. Maybe this will help. Good luck. Northern Fridge Contact Us Manualslib com is another source you may want to investigate Northern...

This is what being a van nomad means to me. Even if I'm not full timing. But to go and see these kinds of things that exist in each state rather than just wander aimlessly from one Walmart, Cracker Barrel, free State or Fed campground just to sit around campfires in the evenings chatting with...

Welcome to the Van Living forum MajorTom. I'm sure you'll find what you are looking for here. :)

This is an image of Lock 1 the entrance to the Ohio Erie Canal at Cleveland facing out towards Lake Erie. It is pretty well preserved and the tourist center has working models of how the canal worked. Well worth visiting for Nomads looking for interesting places. Apples grown in Ohio would...

^^^ vanbrat wtote: My job is not to teach kids anything except to love to learn, that learning is fun and mistakes are good for rethinking things, and they are always capable, and just because this is hard for you and it is easy for him that doesn't mean anything. There are lots of ways to be...

"The Oyster Farmers" one hour eleven minute documentary. (on TUBI) An interesting story of Aquaculture, environmentalism, and farmers cooperating with scientist to restore what was once a nearly fished out industry. Oyster farming/harvesting is one of the most regulated industries we have...

Interesting are some of the things you mention here vanbrat. I read "Cannery Row" way back in school days and later "Undaunted Courage" (story of Lewis & Clark expedition) by Stephen Ambrose in 2004. For those who travel in our rigs there is a lot to see and learn about in America...

As a final post on this thread, and the movement of apples and other agricultural goods thru our early America I'd mention the Canadian contribution to enable the Canals to be much more effective. It was to their benefit to join in the canal building industry as well with their cooperative...

Yes, I lived in the Zanesville, Ohio area at one time and dated a girl who came from Coshocton, Ohio. She took me to her hometown which was once a large terminal on the Erie Canal and that part of the town was restored as Roscoe Village Heritage center. There was a Canal Boat that had been...

As a follow up to Johnny Appleseed (aka John Chapman) you can see the map in red that showcases the extent of his propagation of apples across the eastern to mid west. Much of his travels in his early years were on foot as he was 18 in 1792 and there was little in the way of developed...

Someone around where I live has one of these now. I've watched it run on the road, take corners, stop, and start. Something about it makes me think that it was a home-built project....or a Kit-Car. Granted I haven't been in one or driven one but what I'm seeing doesn't inspire me...

Worthy of mention in the discussion of apples is a pioneer orchardist named John Chapman. Born in 1774 in Leominster, Massachusetts, by the age of 18 he began to travel west with many others seeking a start in America. But his fortunes took a different direction and where he could have...

I've listened to old timers around here in the Ohio Valley rave about the old "Ben Davis" apple. It was one of the first commercial shipping successes but today's orchardist are quick to explain that there are so many better apples available. (often referring to the Ben Davis as a hunk of...

As I've read, the east coast of the USA was a killing field for Navy & Merchant Marine ships by German U-boats. What the Germans called "The Happy Days". This was before RADAR was developed. Hugh's theory was that a fleet of these H 4 Hercules flying boats could fly just above the surface of...

A fall recipe I've been working on & tweaking is a simple iron skillet Beef Stroganoff meal. You will need to boil some noodles while you are making this recipe to have ready to serve the Stroganoff over. (I use what are called dumpling noodles) Using a couple of small beef steak cutlets...

Back in my school days there was a cafeteria on the UNI campus that offered some unusual fall goodies. Acorn Squash that was cut in half thru the top to bottom to make a boat. In the center there was a ball of sage sausage and this baked in the hollowed out center. This was baked until the...
