This is part 2 of a two part blog on technology in camping. If you missed part 1, you can read it here. “Did you know that, if you visualise, you can actually hug on the phone?” – Shelley Long As a nature enthusiast, I am reluctant to write, in public, the advantages of technology to […]
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” – Leonardo da Vinci Most people, who know me personally, know of my obsession with teardrop camping. I get links and emails about them all the time from these same friends. Occasionally, someone will send me a link about a teardrop trailer or other small camping unit that I have never […]
“The farther one gets into the wilderness, the greater is the attraction of its lonely freedom.” – Theodore Roosevelt My wife and I are planning a trip to Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone is one of those funny places for me. I’ve always wanted to go but never have. Since she has been there, she […]

As part of this project, I asked a student at WWU, […]
I pulled the jPod out of the garage for the first time this year. I wish it was to go camping. With single diget temperatures promised by the weather people, I am not going to see camping very soon. However, it was nice to pull it out and look at it outside. I did some […]
Mom and Dad do know how to throw a birthday party. The little Assistant to the Senior Manager celebrated her 1 month old birthday on a camping trip in the jPod. Since this family arrangement is new to us, Senior Management and I thought it would be wise to camp someplace near our home-base and […]
I always enjoy a good vintage camping film. This is a rare one: A vintage 1958 film of a custom Station Wagon. This station wagon has similar designs to a teardrop with a rear galley. However, it is much more automated & prehaps not quite as convenient. Yet, a great Michigan state prototype.
