    Adventures of "The Dog House"

    Just back from a great weekend at Takhlakh Lake campground. For those of you who are not familiar with this area, it is just west of Mt. Adams in the Gifford Pinchot national forest. I managed to get our teardrop down the tent pad in site #30 overlooking the lake. I don' think you can do this at...

    Adventures of "The Dog House"

    I've been on a couple trips since I last posted. In May, we camped 3 nights at Lost Creek Campground which is on the west side of Mt. Hood. Very well kept small campground but is very busy in the summer. The campground was not crowded at all (3 of the 12 sites used). We were in site #7...

    Propane Leak

    Did you find your leak. I hope you don't have the same problem I had. There is an access panel in lower left cabinet that has two screws holding it in place. There are several gas connections behind it. If you don't find the leak there, then it could be brass quick connect fitting. The...

    Hello from Portland, OR

    Hi Martin and Polly, Looking forward to bumping into each other in Oregon. I just saw a 550 classic in Portland today at the Taco Time on NE Sandy. I don't think it was you as it was pulled by a Forester.

    :o It is only about an inch long. Had the camera nearly on the ground and a few inches away from it.

    Adventures of "The Dog House"

    Forgot to mention the caterpillar. He had traveled a long distance from the grass, around a couple circles, and then further out in the sand. Since it had rained, the sand was fairly firm. It was cool to see his journey.

    Adventures of "The Dog House"

    Decided to just one discussion to blog about my trips. "The Dog House" now has a name. Made a quick trip to Nehalem Bay State Park. Weather in Oregon is so unpredictable this time of the year. We thought it was not going to rain. Surprise. It started to pour once we pulled into camp...

    Road Trip

    Hey Michael, forgot to stop by and see you. I left Rincon today and now at Half Moon Bay. Rincon turned out to be not as expected. The rule is that you have to be fully self-contained. No toilet, no stay. And they were rude about it. Stayed a mile down the rode at the Ventura county park...

    Road Trip

    On my way to meet up with my parents at Rincon campground. It is an old section of 101 that has been turned into an off grid RV campground. Sits right on the beach between Santa Barbara and Ventura. Spent last night at Prairie Creek Redwoods campground. Nearly deserted with much of the area...

    Dri-Z-Air

    Has anyone ever tried a "Dri-Z-Air" for controlling moisture and condensation. It has a powder/crystals in it that absorbs moisture. Once it is saturated, you replace the powder/crystals. I am guessing it will not absorb enough to do any good. I had a lot of condensation while camping on the...
