Another Adventure Countdown

 

 

I finally got all the stars lined up and I heading for Big Bend mid week…..first leg of the trip will be to Seminole Canyon State Park…my favorite stopping off point and winding down point when traveling west….and I’m getting “Bonus Points” as Barney of  www.ofmadventures.blogspot.com/  will be there and then we’ll head to Big Bend…we’ve tried to meet up on previous trips, but it never worked out…its always nice to connect with another Wandering Nomad….

I still have a bunch of “stuff” to do prior to hitching up….I almost forgot that one propane tank is empty and the other one is just about there…..I’m taking down the blinds and putting up curtains…will experiment with a easy hang solution …..see how it holds up on this trip…want to get a runner to put on the floor….and a couple of other enhancements….plus…get a new laptop…on the road I carry a Aspire one D255E netbook….it has not preformed as I thought it would…my own fault…just doesn’t have the memory, processor speed, and other stuff I need, especially with trying to do photography work on the road….so I thought I would get an early Christmas present….

  2. Can't wait for the upcoming travel news. I got a Gallery Samsung tablet for our Christmas - really enjoying...a laptop on the list next. Still wondering how to set up all the electronics and how I want to store it for easy access let alone figure out the best provider. Did you see the curtains I made...link came from the Casita forum. Fabric lined curtains can be cut...grommet and hang with drapery hooks behind the mini blinds...they came out great.

    1. The curtains are up...I won't go into details yet,,,not sure if I did the right thing...if I declare it a success..I'll show some photo's...where are your curtain photo's...can't seem to find them...I tie the wagon to the mule on Wednesday and head out...short trip ,but all trips are an adventure...can't help with your electronics, as I use the rear area as my work station, in fact did a table modification that doubled the size...since I travel alone, I use the side dinette as a bed..so I have more then enough space for all my stuff....Hi Ho Silver...AWAY..Horst
