Campground Hobbies and whatnot

mikeway · RV-Dreams Family Member

Greetings,

We like a lot of things but I am most often occupied with programming or photography. My wife scrapbooks and has a doll collection and sewing machines on board to work with.

Paul is involved in photography. (I think he is secretly trying to kill me hiking up and down mountains to find waterfalls to take pictures) He has taken some fantastic photos. I like to do a little sketching and enjoy practicing different techniques. Have tried using pastels and have found it fun to work with. I also enjoy doing one stroke painting. Paul and I both enjoy riding our TRIKKE's and Gizzy loves to run along with us. When he gets tired (usually after about 1/2 mile) he gets to ride in the back pack and leave the driving to me. Gizzy's hobby is chasing squirrels.

I enjoy reading, quilting, and blogging. I also create post cards from our travels to send to those who don't have internet. We like to ride our bikes and surf the net to research the area we staying in or future destinations.

It is harder for Paul who had to leave his woodworking tools behind and also his gardening...although he doesn't miss weeding! I'm hoping he'll pick up his paint brushes again...he's a great painter and he enjoys enhancing pictures in Adobe Photoshop.

We've planning to start geocaching. It is someting you can do anywhere, anytime and sounds like lots of fun and as challenging as you want it tackle. Check out geocaching.com to learn more about it.

Diane makes plastic canvas creations for fun: http://www.sacnoth.com/PlasticCanvas/Plastic%20Canvas.htm

I work on our website, read forums, answer email and answer questions for fun. (I had to say that.)

I enjoy woodcarving, photography, and reading. I also keep a blog with pictures for family and friends. I've been known to hit a golf ball too, but not well!!!

The wife makes cards using a technique called "tea bag folding" or "Iris" folding I think it is called. She likes to read and enjoys needle point.

We are full timers who love this lifestyle, the travel and the friends we are making.

Sounds like the inflatable boats are becoming quite popular! Maybe we should have an inflatable boat regatta someday........ We've got individual catarafts and just love them. We're looking forward to spending more time with them next year when we're done working fulltime and can join the rest of you out there having fun!!!

I loved growing flowers when we had our home and miss it.
Well now I have decided to get one of the shepard hooks that I see so many of in the front of rv's or along side them in the pks. Lots of flowers now growing in Tucson where we now are and tomorrow I shall be shopping for a hook and hanging baskets. I was wondering if any here still grows flowers when full timing? I do have a Hosta plant that was in our home that now travels with us and is blooming once again, so it must like full timing also.

Hi Judy,

I haven't tried this but I have heard of others doing this:
They take a large bag of potting soil and poke holes in it. Put your seeds in the holes and watch them grow. It is a portable garden.

Does anyone do any metal detecting? Lots of change found in campgrounds and beaches.

I am taking up cooking...I love food and I always wanted to cook new dishes. Also like my inflatable boat and fishing. I too have a woodshop at our base camp but I want to try some new hobbies while on the road.

My hubby likes to tinker (fix things). So that is why we are going to get an enclosed trailer to tow behind our MH. To carry his tools and our motorcycle. He'll probably be the guy that gets the knock on the door at the CG to help someone out with a problem. I play guitar and sew.
