I'm going thru "stuff" & trying to get rid of things that I won't be taking on the road. I have quite a few craft supplies to get rid of. I'm wondering where might be the best place to sell them. I've never done an Ebay auction, but I'm thinking perhaps I should try that. Are there any oth...

Read another thread about photo sharing sites. Some of our friends use them with great success. I have always just downloaded photos from my camera disk by putting it in the SD slot in my laptop. I have windows Vista and they just go to my hard drive. Last Winter I got a new laptop with Windows 7. When...

I stumbled on someone's blog(cant remember who's) that had pictures taken with a HD camera. The pics were of the mountains in MT and they were awesome! Dont think they were edited in photoshop either. They almost looked 3D. I have an Olympus C60 zoom and it does a good job. Have been saving for a Nik...

Hi everyone! As you probably already know, I live in a stationary fiver in an RV park in Half Moon Bay, CA. I gave a bike of mine several years ago to a friend of mine, and she would like to give it back to me. Actually it's a good thing, because it's a great bike and I would like to ride it around here. Howeve...

Does anyone ever set up an easy-up, probably with sides, at an RV park, next to their motor home? I do sculpture and have been hoping to figure out how to take it along. I can work outside, but I need a large table area and am vulnerable to wind. I was wondering if I could set up my easy-up tent as a studio spa...

Well recently I tried geocaching here locally and at first thought I'd really like it but after going out a handful of times (and thankfully not purchasing a handheld GPS) I've come to the conclusion I don't think I really care for it. LOL! Maybe because I'm doing it here in town and going out for hikes...

As I stated on another thread one could call me simple minded but I much prefer to manage my own money... which got me to thinking... Does anyone here currently full time and trade stocks? If so I would like to hear the challenges that you may have faced trying to do this given the limitations of technolo...

I have had a houseboat, a power boat and a fishing boat or two but a couple of canoe trips and reading about other people enjoying the kayak we decided to try it. Our first impressions are listed below. Feel free to add your impressions about our sanity or your experiences. The cost of $320 with free shi...

What do any of you full-timers, who like to fish, do about fishing licenses. Surely you can't budget one for every state you travel to. I know in some states, you can fish on private property without a license, but that would rule out some really great fishing. Just curious what every body does, as both o...

I would like to ask if anyone has the PaddleSki (what size?) as I am tossed between the smaller Kayak 330 or even the 370 and the PaddleSki 395. We want to use it on the larger rivers (almost lake like) here in Nashville TN area. Some quiet areas, some of the smaller creek, rivers but this will also be used l...

Mr. Alfie and I are going back to our childhoods! We now have bikes again! (Am I too old for this? ) What I would like to ask is. Does anyone know where we can get a listing of bike trails? I have heard that many places have trails that one can ride, while camping, but we have not been able to find such a list, or...

I love to crochet or knit dishcloths with the Sugar N Cream 100% cotton yarn. However, there is a big problem when laundering the dishcloths after using, in that the colors fade and become discolored very quickly. Does anyone know how to preserve the colors when actually laundering the dishcloths? C...

The wife and I enjoy several hobbies that we are able to do while camping. We enjoy geocaching, waymarking, metal detecting and scooter riding. Click these links to see pictures of our geocaching and waymarking. We don't usually take the camera metal detecting so no real pictures of that, however w...

I know Linda has her beading work that she does, but was wondering if some of you fulltimers can tell what you like to do as far as hobbies go and whatnot. I noticed a guy here where we are now does woodworking crafts and has a slide under his RV that pulls out has a drill press, band saw (small) and a small ai...

I am heavily into genealogy, and wonder how I will be able to cut down on the amt of time I spend on it if I am able to full time. The biggest drawback to having less space than a house is just the sheer volume of files, photographs, research notes, etc. Are there any folks out there who research their famil...

Hi Everyone, Brad (husband) & I are good hikers and are entertaining hiking the Grand Canyon rim to rim. We think we'll plan to do this next year, 2010, but know we need to make plans now. Does anyone know of a good website or blog of people who have done this? Thanks & Happy Travels! Suzanne www.c...

Does anyone have a telescope that they use as a hobby. Seems like many of the parks would be in nice dark areas with minimal manmade lighting that would normally cause a problem for good viewing. If so what type of scope do you have and what are you able to see?

Found a new use for my Dremel Tool with a sanding barrel tool attached. I took my dad to the podiatrist to have his toe nails worked on. The toe nails on my dad's big toes have some sort of problem where they get really thick and due to neglect have begun to grow up instead of out. One toe nail was about a half...

Hi all. I am just wondering how you crafty RVers store your craft supplies for safe travel and easy access?

Does anyone have any suggestions on co...

Just wondereing if anyone in the RV Dreams Community are Nascar fans? When we get on the road we hope to visit a few tracks. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them. I don't know when we will hit the road it all depends on selling our business and our home. Hopefuly that will be this spring. Pam
