Thanks for sharing the story of Colonial Vaughan. What an amazing man! The love for adventure will keep us all young.

It’s been a little while since the last post. The winter has been brutal these last months. My dogs are loving it though. Built a dog sled and the girls, (Huskies) have been taking me for a ride, literally. We’re  all getting anxious to go on a road trip. Been busy converting truck bed into...

:P It’s been a little while since last post. It’s been a hard winter, but have been working on converting truck bed into liveable space. Got a super tall cap for the bed of truck. The dogs love traveling back there. Anxious to start on our road trip. Want to meet up to the caravans.

Can anyone recommend a good well built cargo trailer? I want a double axle v nose with a curved roof for better water run off. 7 x 14

With the cooler weather here, my dogs are romping more than ever. They are enjoying it tremendously. Thanks Ella for the link to the pest control. I am all about using natural ingredients on pets.

SORRY misspelled word (vapor barrier)

Using the rock mineral wool insulation, should a vapor buyer on the inside wall be used to keep the humidity from the inside of the camper/trailer from penetrating to the insulation?

How will you keep the cargo trailer cool and ventilated?

Is anyone using the eco-friendly insulation board to insulate the vehicle?

Good to know, Ted. Now I have a second choice.

Taking a trial run with the Huskies on a trip. Very well behaved. It was hard to find a hotel that accepted two dogs but found one that accepted them for free.

I decided on a 7 x 16 cargo trailer. It will work great for sleeping, kitchen, a small shower and composting toilet, and a place for the dogs to sleep. I can haul the portable kennel right down the middle isle way.

Converting a cargo trailer

Ella, Having Huskies and running them is something I’ve wanted to do for a while. Now that I am retired, I have the time to pursue the dream while I can. I. I have studied up on the subject quite extensively. This is good exercise for any dog who likes to run and fun for its owner. See you at...

Ella- I have been running them both. It is so much fun. The dogs love to run. The experience of dryland mushing is so awesome. I do give commands-hike for go-wowa for stop-gee for right-haw for left-on by for passing by someone. I’ve been working with the dogs for sometime now with voice...

Very clever! I will try this technique  on the booties. I’ll let you know how they turn out.??

I’ve been using Velcro to adhere the booties. Does elastic work better? How does Silcone help the booties from slipping off?

Anyone ever make dog booties out of blue jean material? Any good ideas as to keeping booties from slipping off dogs feet when running.

I’ve been making booties for my dogs. I’ve been experimenting with different material which may work best and so they won’t fall off in the desert. As far as the dog pen, may I make a suggestion to put small wheels on it to tote it along. Then it would not be so heavy or awkward to carry. I...

Since my dogs have long fluffy hair, how are the pesty desert insects that might take up residence in their coat?
