For about a year now, a film which documents teardrop camping in US History has been in the works. Finally, there is enough financial and informational support to start filming the aerial segments (see below for a short clip which documents this first segment of filming). This is a very exciting as a kick off […]
Recently, I was doing some spring cleaning (cleaning up some hard drives) when I found some forgotten film footage from last summer (2009). It is of the jPod’s second trip -but first off-road adventure- on the Lolo Motorway in the Nez Perce National Forest. If you have not read the adventures of the Lolo Motorway, […]
Two recent developments on the jPod: 1. More progress on the Galley 2. The jPod is now completely wired. Progress on the Galley Senior Management has done a lot of work helping me with the design for the Galley. Slowly, it is coming together. I’ve installed the lighting in the galley hatch & wired it […]
The Galley is the last big project for the jPod. I have started it 3 different times only to remove my work and start again. After camping in the jPod for a weekend, we have finally decided what we want from our galley. A new discovery is a 12V refrigerator which pulls very little on […]
As a high school history teacher, I regularly view educational films. This got me thinking one day so I started plans to make a film which would feature teardrops & tiny trailers. Recently, I received the Don Keele Award for Excellence in Education to create an educational film (in HD) which will feature teardrops and […]
I am not much for New Year’s Resolutions. In fact, my typical resolution is to make no resolutions. I have been successful at keeping this resolution for the past 12 years. I typically don’t like resolutions because they usually end up being BHAGs (Big Hairy Audacious Goals) which typically fail. Gradual change suits me better. […]
The www.camp-cook.com forum is having another cook off competition: Chili & Cornbread. I entered my Chili recipe last weekend (see it here) and this weekend is my cornbread recipe. For this recipe, I followed the tastes of Senior Management. She likes all things Pumpkin. Having found a pumpkin Cornbread recipe at Real Mom Kitchen I […]
In September of 2009, I received an invitation to do some research with primary resources at the Library of Congress (LOC) in Washington, DC. Knowing that this invitation was a tremendous opportunity, I agreed and made the arrangements to do research for one week. Part of my time at the LOC was spent with librarians […]
For about the past 60 years my family has been taking an annual camping trip as a sort of mini family reunion & our friends. The locations have varied over the years as one generation passes the baton to another but the camping is always memorable. This year, the camping trip was relatively close to […]
I had a few days off of work this week so the jPod got a little work. We’ve had a camping trip planned since last year that we’ll do in a couple of days. I made this trip a bit of a deadline for some work on the jPod. I’ve been pre-warping a piece of […]
