It’s been a hot minute since I put on an RVidiots video. I couldn’t let the one year anniversary of our departure from the stick and bricks to the full-time RV life go by without putting out something. So here it is, for your viewing pleasure…
Yes, this is a hiking story. Yes, River, it’s a long one. Much like my sex life, I store it up for a long time and then release it in one big bang! Unlike my sex life, this will last longer. You’ll notice I didn’t file this one under the Epic Trail Fails category. That’s because, other than a couple of falls and a much too close encounter with lightning, there was no fail. The Virginia Triple Crown of hiking…
I met Isaiah last weekend when my dog Finn and I spent three days and two nights on the Appalachian Trail. Isaiah is an interesting chap. Definitely not the kind of person I would usually hang around with. The introvert voice in me told me to get away from this guy as quick as possible. For once, I didn’t listen to that voice and I’m glad I didn’t. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have got to have an experience that took me…
I’m a published author! Woohoo! I can’t believe it. I actually conceived an idea, wrote about it, finished writing about it, had it edited, did re-writes, did more editing, and published it! It’s been two years in the making but among the many other DOA projects I started, this one is finished! I know I’ve talked about working on this novel a few times before, but for the newbies I’ll just post my book summary below. A man and his…
I know it’s been a minute since I posted anything, so here you go. It’s not going to be much. Just another The RVidiots video. This one has a loose connection to COVID in that the virus was believed to have originated from the consumption of a bat, and this video features bats (or does it?) See for yourself. It’s 30 minutes, which I know is too long for you fast paced blog readers, so I’ve included a table of…
If you spend time in the outdoors, eventually something will go wrong. It’s a law of nature. But if you survive, those epic failures become the best stories! We’ve all read about amazing accomplishments in the wild, but now it’s time to tell us about the not-so-great times and what you learned from them. Share your best #EpicTrailFail stories on your own page, include this paragraph as a header, and then provide a link in the comments [here] or [here]….

Right now the LeeLander is landed at my sister’s house in Arlington, TX. I took the dogs for a walk the other day and discovered a little playground nearby. What was even nicer is that it was gated so I could let the dogs off their leashes. As we neared the combination slide/junglejimmy thing I saw something hanging underneath. What could that be? I continued to walk closer to the junglejimmy thing. It was some sort of bag hanging there….
I know I’ve told a few jokes about what’s going to kill me first in this time of COVID-19 quarantine, the virus, or my wife from us both working from home. Actually, we have been getting along splendidly. We’ve been hanging out watching movies, cooking meals, and playing a lot of board games. We even have been getting some good work done on the yard, not that anyone can get close enough to see it. Even though I already worked…
Ever heard someone utter that line? I always thought that was just a metaphor. You can’t actually be high on life can you? Something happened last weekend that’s making me rethink that. I belong to a backpacking group on Facebook and we were all discussing our consternation about not being able to get out on the trails due to COVID-19. A plan came together for the weekend to go camping in our backyards or living rooms if you don’t have…
