    I'm at it again Build 2.0 started

    Another milestone passed, I have my door cut & fitted! Now to infill and final install. Dis-assembly, cutting re-assembly was much easier than I thought! So happy I found this door!! More details in the Build Journal

    No picture and haven't even updated the site. Seems I took more off today then added to... Just to say, resining sections/panels has started! Schedule was to be at this point by Monday! Good update coming..

    Trans Labrador Highway

    When he went the TLH wasn't fully paved, yet as he says, the gravel was fine. I saw his vid's and found most of his stops. I also will go down Rt138 in Quebec to reach the opposite end of that highway. Now that's a route I do wish Quebec would connect! To drive that entire coastline.. Ya Baby! I...

    As most folks I spoken to they speak of driving up to Cartwright. Me, just not feeling it. Now I have found another that does spike my interest.. Has anyone been to the Lobstick Structure? Can't break into 54°N there but a short drive you can hit 53.9°N. That has my interest as it would be...

    What are your tentative dates? If you go early month, you're ahead me. We're hoping for 3rd week July. All is predicated on how much I have completed with my new build.. I figure I have 7 weeks to complete and go..

    Replacing Gen 1 for longer runs, maybe completely, haven't decided. Our thoughts of travel/exploring the new setup will work well! The F150 has been mine from birth, so I may reincarnate her again. Flatbed maybe??

    Plan on running all of Rt138 as well. Hope to take a picture from both ends!

    I'm working out details of traversing the TLH in August. I've done a bit of research into this and left with a few questions that I think others that have traversed can answer. First comes cell service. I can locate the towers and find that LC, Churchill Falls, Happy Valley and Port Hope (and...

    Another update for ya's! The Journal is HERE for the play by plays. I have the sides to the loft paneled and about to remove and lower the camper to do the front, rear and roof easier.

    Ready to meet 'Long Tall Sally' ? Put her on the truck for fitting and some specific work. Gas fill has to be worked out, mounting brackets and I will do out-riggers this time to make removal easier. And of course... steps to get in her! What Long Legs Sally has! 9'-8" at mid-ships...

    With rains for the next few days coming, I moved the frame in the garage and forgot to shoot a pic of the front angles. Sorry, yet best from in the garage.. Have to do a major cleanup in there and takeover the whole area if I hope to get anything done over the next few days.. I like the...

    I updated yesterday yet today shows promise of getting the upper loft and possible the roof in place. I have most of those pieces cut. Next update will have some pic's showing the in-life profile!

    The F150 camper build worked well and lead us to doing another build off a F250 platform. I'll update more as I continue, but it has started. I'm keeping a build log Here if you are so interested in following along or adding a suggestion or two.

    George Washington & Jefferson National Forests Recommendation

    I came up the Washington/Jefferson NF using the Mid Atlantic Backroad Discovery Route as my guide. It’s a mix of dirt, woods and pavement, yet quite a unique drive. Worth checking out! IMHO anyway..

    Camping near Mnt Washington

    I always found, even with Bull Brook open, Larry's was full and I'm typically up there on Tues/Weds... I expect the pressure there to be even greater this year. To the OP: I'd not rely on Little Larry Rd as there's ~ 7sites. If you want showers, I heard Dolly Copp proper was going that...

    Camping near Mnt Washington

    Probably a typo, but ME113.. Don't know when you've been up there as of late, but last year Bull Brook FC/FS is closed. I have not seen a potential date of re-openning nor how they will. With it being cleared from logging, it makes another potential NF CG possible. And yes, there are a few other...
