what do you like to play with when camping?

[Byron Kinnaman]

Carve, ham radio, read, walking, photographing the locals and the scenery
There's usually some part of nature to watch depending on where you are, water roll over the rocks, the ducks swimming by, ground squirrels, birds, ripples across a lake, lizard soaking in the sun, road runners sunning themselves, coyotes roaming in search of lunch, a guy is waders thrashing the water in the hopes of catching a fish, examining a flower. The list is long, varied and dependent on place and time of year.

Scott there are many levels to your response.

We were having dinner in the club house this winter and the woman next to me said just after a couple days of rain. "I was so worried about the two of you. I thought you might go steer crazy in that small space (Casita 16), What ever do you do?" I smiled and said "Have you hears of S=E=X?" I thought she'd choke on her meal.

While her face reddened, I of course defused it by saying we each have a computer, the internet, netflix, books and so on....

I will say retired RVing has been very healthy for what was already a good relationship. We now have more time with each other. It reminds me of being 16.

Life is good,

Do you have your ham radio antenna mounted to your camper or do you toss up a dipole? I was thinking about maybe using a Shakespeare 393 marine antenna. I run a Chameleon V1 on my tow vehicle and could just run the antenna to the trailer also. How do you have your feedline running into the camper? Randy

I'm glad you said it; I was sooo tempted but didn't want to get into trouble! Actually my wife rarely comes along, so I don't have anyone to play with. Thus the book-reading.

I carry with me a couple of Par Electronics EndFDZ wire antennas , a 20 meter and a 40 meter. I also carry a Buddie Pole. Depends on conditions which antenna I use.
I operate either from the tail gate of the pickup or move stuff to the picnic table. I carry a 50Amp hour battery to use for my ham radio and a 65W solar panel to keep both the house battery and the radio battery charged.

I haven't as of yet operated from inside the trailer but it would be no problem to run the coax and battery power through the same port as the 120 power goes through.

Fishing and Smores. Also chess by fire light is fun, sophistication with a primal twist.

[Gord W.]

Paddling, fly-casting, drowning worms, swimming (in that order!) occasionally fishing

Reading, sleeping, cooking, eating, (not necessarily in that order!)

Like others have stated, Rving our style (glass eggs), is good for our marriage.
