Oh, so I should have gone to Wikipedia for more information! Thank you, Morgana! I'm all for freedom of speech but I'm not for freedom for people to camp on sidewalks in big cities in front of businesses or other people's homes. I still believe camping is for campgrounds! If a city wants to...

The trailer I have does change over... when a propane tank empties the other one is used automatically. So, this is not common with all? Does it depend on the age of the trailer?

1. Frisco - a term never used by residents of the San Francisco area. I was born in Oakland and spent a large part of my life living in the SF East Bay Area and a small part of my life living in San Francisco itself. My oldest son still lives nearby and works in the city. For future reference -...

Good idea. Get someone to visit you who can get it working for you. If it doesn't light up a part may need to be replaced. It happens, but should be a minor repair if needed.

I lived in a travel trailer ( TT ) for the last three years. At first the propane bottles seemed difficult to change but once I got used to it, it became easy enough. I had to run downtown every couple weeks for refills but the men working at Napa Auto Parts made it as easy as possible for me to...

Happy to say - only 45 degrees here and no snow. We're expecting rain again tomorrow and most of the rest of the week. Klamath-Siskiyou Mountains of Northern California. Snow upstream on Grayback Mountain seemed to melt in our last rainstorm as the water in Indian Creek was exceptionally high...

PS. In the video I posted above... the story about how Happy Camp was named is false. John Camp didn't name Happy Camp after himself. It was more of a group decision - probably before John Camp arrived in town. There are several stories of how the place was named floating around.

I'd just leave already... keep it simple. You have plenty of income. Just get rid of your excess material possessions and start driving south for the winter. Don't over-complicate things by buying solar and a heavy tent first. You'll figure out what you need as you travel. There will be plenty...

I was obsessed with the idea of "chasing 70 degrees" in my van... now I just set the thermostat for 70 and it stays that way day or night. I've been in the house almost a month already. Today I found out about this video re: Happy Camp. The photo of Dennis Day at 2 minutes, 9 seconds into the...

I've been over at Amazon watching "Harry and Snowman" ... wonderful documentary. Thank you!

What fun things you did, Nature Lover... Peter's coat, Charlotte's Web, the talking tree... memories are golden. Who ever gets to do these things? Must be Nature Lover! I now have Edie and Miss Potter in my TBW list (to be watched) ... found them on Amazon and bookmarked them. Thank you! So...

I have the remains of one of those popup canopies in my yard - it was my daughter's. I also have one *never used* in my cargo trailer. I wasn't going to put it up unless the weather was right and I had sand for sandbags that attach to the poles. I guess I never found the need. The trailer had an...

Thanks for the recipe and this sounds good to me. It has been a long time since I made or ate biscuits and now you have me wanting some. Yes, of course space is limited in your trailer and why didn't I think of that after living in a trailer three years? You made an awesome pantry. Thanks for...

I did hear that or read it somewhere. I think our zone is still 8.

Our snow from yesterday has melted already, but more is expected tonight and during the week to come. We're way overdue for a heavy snowfall - not that I'm looking forward to it - but the forest needs it.

Sounds awesome. I want the recipe. I have a skillet... but no cover for it. Maybe I could just bake them?

My daughter and her spouse did not leave on good terms with me. It is hard to describe, but lets just say there was some animosity and it wasn't coming from me. They seemed to be resentful that I was going to get a house built, and they didn't like the shed either. !? So I haven't heard from...

Sad to say, there's only one thrift store in my area and it is closing. And 90% of what they had seemed like useless tchotchkes. You can understand why the store is closing. I think the last thing people in my area need is more tchotchkes. People in my area live 75 miles from Walmart or any...

Hope you all stay safe in the Quartzsite storm! I am definitely cooking in the new kitchen but I have other people to cook for only once weekly, for the church potluck. The rest of the time my cooking is minimal... but sure is nice to have a working refrigerator/freezer again and an oven I can...

Snow materialized this morning but this afternoon we have sunshine. Sorry to say, more snow may be on the way. I drove to the store for ingredients for Wednesday night's potluck, should I be fortunate enough to be able to drive there.
