We explore Port Townsend, WA with the guidance of our friend Jon. First we check out Fort Warden - an old military bunker used to guard against Japanese invasion by ship. Next we walk around, staring at the beautiful boats in the marina and yards.

I install a Tru-Cool 40k transmission cooler onto our RV. While I'm at it, I also set up a temperature gauge so that we can keep tabs on how hot things are getting while we drive our big, heavy RV + towing the car through 100f+ outside temps.
Before insta...
I can't access the leaky front seal on our transmission so we take the RV to a transmission shop to get the work done. The mechanic said I could do a little filming of the process, so I got some video of the transmission being removed from the RV.
It's a ...
RVs squeak and creak, but they're not supposed to leak. Unfortunately, our RV began leaking transmission fluid. No bueno.
So we loaded up on extra fluid and headed back where we came from. We stopped every few miles to check the fluid level and top off an...

Tambi and I have sailed thousands of miles together while cruising the Bahamas and East Coast. Despite all the sailing that she's done - she's never sailed solo.
While at Lake Utah we had the opportunity to sail Sunfish dinghies. What a blast! Sunfish are...
Homestead Crater is one of the most unique SCUBA diving destinations in the world, and with it's 96 degree water, it's also the HOTTEST dive in the lower 48 states! It's located in Midway, Utah - far away from where most people would assume such a spectacu...
In this video, 10 year old Molly tries out SCUBA diving for the first time.
Tambi and I headed to the pool with SCUBA instructor Chad to have a little refresher course. I was hoping that Molly might be able to breath on a regulator a little bit to better ...
We drive the RV to Arches National Park to check out the "Old Maid's Bloomers" - which is another name for The Delicate Arch. Honestly, I think I like the Old Maid's version better. Much more creative, and a bit less direct - you know?
Anyways - this vide...
Hoodoo.
That's what the tall, pointy rock formations are called at Bryce Canyon National Park.
That's all.
Enjoy!

In Kanab, Utah we hike a cave called The Belly Of The Dragon, we hike the Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park, and we hike to a restaurant called Thunderbird for Molly's birthday. Lots of hiking. Lots of interesting places.
Oh, and I provide artistic feedbac...
A silly bonus video. Nothing special, really.
Just a video of a guy, who is afraid of heights, climbing a fire lookout tower.
This fire tower is right next to our RV spot at The Grand Canyon.

Majestic. Awe-inspiring. Life-changing. Incredible. Vast. Grand.
These words are associated with the Grand Canyon by those who merely look at it from afar.
For those of us who experience the Grand Canyon from within, we have different words...
PAIN. HEA...
Dirt, rocks, a 28 mile long road, and petrified wood... that's The Petrified Forest National Park.
It's also amazing, breathtaking, beautiful and mysterious. Thanks, Tambi, for opening my eyes to that. Honestly, I probably would never see places like this...
An uncut Onewheel ride up the ancient Bandera Volcano and into a nearby natural Ice Cave. This is a full tour, by Onewheel, of an area known locally as "Fire & Ice".
We'll cruise up the side of a 10,000 year old volcano then we'll drop down below to t...
Pop.
Whaaaa...
Look in rear view mirror.
Observe trail of white smoke.
Adrenal glands pump a quart of the good stuff directly into bloodstream.
Sphincter tightens so quickly that my ears pops from the vacuum.
Frantically search for ejector seat lever, but ...
"Absolutely must see." That's how I'd describe Carlsbad Caverns. Special thanks to my lovely Wife for dragging me to this place. I'm always such a skeptic when it comes to trekking across the country to go explore a large hole in the ground, but this hole ...
Nowadays it's uncommon to meet someone who has not flown in an airplane. Coincidentally, Ben is an uncommon kind of dude. Furthermore, he's got a real problem with heights.
Come along with the whole fam as we explore Jal, NM. We meet interesting people, t...
We wally dock our way across Texas and find a WW2 museum called Hanger 25 where we check out some really cool bomber aircraft.
"Wally docking", for the uninitiated (like me), is RV camping in a Walmart parking lot. It's weird. Cars driving by you, people ...
With the world in standstill over the Covid-19 virus, we'll show you what it's like to be socially distanced while living the RV lifestyle. Observe our routine from dawn to dusk as we go to extraordinary lengths to do a whole lot of nothing, really.

We didn't plan it, but we ended up getting beginner horseback riding lessons while we were boondocking in Texas. RV living can be a bit surprising, I suppose. Here's how it happened...
We found a great spot for boondocking the RV in Texas and the owner al...
Tour a 23 year old class C motorhome and get a taste of the full time RV lifestyle. We've remodeled this RV set it up as a boondocking machine so we can stay off grid for long periods of time. That way we save a TON of money by avoiding expensive campgroun...
Take a tour of my family's private island and RV park. Many happy times have been shared on this old farm, and we want to give you a little taste of what makes this place so special.
This place is really just an old farm on 200 acres of woods, fields, hil...
We're hitting the road in a low budget RV and we have no idea what we're doing. The RV lifestyle will be loads different from sailing, but I guess the only way to get used to it is to toughen up, back this beast out of the driveway, and start heading West....
