Have you recently acquired a Smartphone or Tablet? Do you wish you knew more about it? Or, have you had one for a while and know they can do more? Just thinking you might get one? Every Sunday at 2pm Eastern time, we are producing a live half hour video broadcast on the web teaching about Smartphones and Tablets. This week is Episode Six! Why? Because we can. It’s fun and exciting and a little scary. We are also learning a lot. We want the show to be light and entertaining, but we want to teach our viewers, too. That’s what we do. We’re Geeks Who Teach. We divide the show into four segments. Our show starts with a beginner’s lesson. Stuff we think is essential to enjoying your phone or tablet. We’ll demonstrate ...Read more...

Geeks on Tour Blog - A Catch Up Day on the Coast

From the site: Geeks on Tour Blog - A Catch Up Day on the Coast

Thousand Trails parks are the closest thing we have to home when we’re traveling. We are members and that means you pay annual fees (approx $500), and you don’t have to pay anything when you stay. The problem is that “Home” also means “Office” and many TT parks are far away from good Internet. I had to have Internet for this stay because it was the end of the month and I had a newsletter to get out! Luckily, I remembered that Nick Russell had traveled this route last summer and stayed at TT parks, so I looked up the days in in his blog and found his reference to “decent Verizon signal” at the TT Oceana park. If you follow the link to his blog post, you’ll see some of the same pictures as ...Read more...

OUR NEWELL ADVENTURE - "Cowboys"

From the site: OUR NEWELL ADVENTURE - "Cowboys"

First Saturday started out sunny.....I had plans to be outside, maybe take a bike ride, spend time working on my mountain bike for our trip to Mammoth in a few days, and other things, but by 10 am all those ideas seemed pretty foolish when the rain came with a vengeance.  Torrential rain, then hail!Once again it is hard to forecast the weather here in SLT.....the rain that came Sunday was expected, but it was supposed to be a sunny day on Monday....instead it rain all the rest of the day, and into the night.So, in light of the rain, our plans changed.....at least my plans changed.  TLE had planned to do some mending, so I brought in her sewing machine.  Once the rain began I headed back inside to wait out what I thought, at t ...Read more...

Geeks on Tour Blog - Olympic National Park

From the site: Geeks on Tour Blog - Olympic National Park

“Alaska South Annex” is what Greg and Marilyn call the Olympic Peninsula. It does seem like a small corner of Alaska was chipped off and put here next to Seattle. Ocean, Mountains, Forest, and Farms.Mount Olympus Having the opportunity to visit and see all this beauty makes us realize just how lucky we are in this lifestyle. We have seen so much of America. Almost as out of the way as Big Bend park in Texas, Olympic National Park needs a special visit – you don’t just happen upon it, and no road goes thru it. I’ll bet the percentage of Americans who have been to this peninsula is pretty small. We put Washington State on our RVing map early on in our travels, but that was only because we stayed on the Washington ...Read more...

Roadtreking | The small motorhome lifestyle - The Roadtreking life: A Family car with benefits

From the site: Roadtreking | The small motorhome lifestyle - The Roadtreking life: A Family car with benefits

The Roadtreking life: A Family car with benefits Yes, we do a lot of laundry. Towels are legion in a swim meet. Tent City with the Roadtrek as the galley, fridge, and rolling general supply warehouse. I see lot of people posting awesome pics of their trips all over the US and Canada. I am still a working stiff, so my travels are more contained and less extensive. That doesn’t mean that my Roadtrek sits in the driveway “pinin’ for the fjords”. We use it quite a bit as a family car with benefits. Often we travel because we go to various activities rather than travel for the sake of travel. In the past we raced triathlons and duathlons; load up the rear bike rack with 4 bikes and go race. In one event all of us placed i ...Read more...

A Satisfying Retirement - Leads To A Satisfying Life - Making The Turn Toward Home

From the site: A Satisfying Retirement - Leads To A Satisfying Life - Making The Turn Toward Home

The RV’s nose has turned west. After 5 weeks of putting 2,500 miles between us and home, we have begun the return trip. Though not rushing back, we are feeling the pull of family and friends and implementing some of what we have learned about each other and what makes our individual retirement journey so satisfying.One of the joys of this type of travel is the ability to make changes when we feel like it so, we are adding two states to our itinerary. Realizing that we aren’t likely to be back this way anytime soon, our return will include some time in North Dakota and Montana. That will give us 14 states for this adventure – not bad for 70 days.Because Betty’s photos always generate such supportive comments, this pos ...Read more...

Live Laugh RV - A Happy Camper

From the site: Live Laugh RV - A Happy Camper

Our son flew into Denver from Phoenix last Wednesday.  It’s been almost 2 years since our little family of four has been together. So you can imagine, I’ve been one very happy mom lately aka one happy camper with a perpetual smile plastered across my face. Thursday found us attending a Rockies baseball game that was delayed 45 minutes due to a rain storm or rather a thunder and lightning storm.  I’ll write a post about that game later.  For now I want to share our trip up to Mount Evans… one of my favorite places in Colorado; right up there with Crested Butte or the San Juan Mountains. Ingrid, Al, Ashton, and Logan at the top of Mt. Evans this road is damaged in quite a few areas due t ...Read more...

Travels of John and Bridget - Cookout with fellow RVers and Fried Pickles.

From the site: Travels of John and Bridget - Cookout with fellow RVers and Fried Pickles.

Off from work and enjoying the nice weather.    Fellow RVers, Tom and Marci and their sons Nicolas and Bryce arrived in Detroit Lakes earlier in the day.   We met them a few years ago at an RV Dreams rally.  So glad they were able to stop by for a  visit. Judy had a tour in the refuge this morning.  One of the couples in the tour follows Judy's blog and were here for a visit also.   We all gathered for a cookout and great conversation.  John even fried up some pickles as an appetizer.  He had planned to cook some last week so Judy could taste them but he didn't have all the ingredients.  Today he was prepared. Left to right: Bryce, Sherry, David, Tom and Marci. Left to right: Marci ...Read more...
