1 Night Meteor Chasing Campout at Colorado Bend SP
I heard about the Perseid Meteor shower and decided to try and chase some shooting stars with my girls. It's hot in Texas so we left after 5PM and headed somewhere relatively close with our new CLAM tent, a deck of cards, and a movie in reserve. The meteors weren't exactly popping but we saw lightning bugs and had a good time none-the-less.

Austin Birth and Mothers Day Family Vlog and Campout
มุมมอง 404 หลายเดือนก่อน
We went to some of our favorite places in Austin this weekend to celebrate some dudes 37th birthday. For mothers day I got some bomb breakfast and personal space for an evening. I was also able to hit 4 different state parks on the way home from Austin. McKinney Falls (hike), Pedernales Falls (unable to accommodate me for camping), Blanco, and Enchanted Rock.
Boerne and Fredericksburg, Spring Break 2024 Camping

Freezing on Saturday but sunny and 70 on Tuesday? We'll skip the mountains then and head to Boerne Texas. I've driven through a few times and it has a lovely little charm. We stayed at Cascade Caverns and enjoyed some local cuisine. Love to get my kiddos outside and excited about new experiences.

Very nice trip to celebrate Avery turning 6. We stopped in Fredereicksburg to eat. We float the Comal as a family and we try our hand at some water hijinks at Schlitterbahn water park. Excellent family vacation in the heart of Texas.

Couples Vlog l California Part 1 Palm Springs
มุมมอง 4810 หลายเดือนก่อน
Palms Springs, Joshua Tree, street fairs, beer and perfect weather. I, as a Texan, was offended by how much I LOVED California. The climate, the environment, the outdoor recreating opportunities, THE FOOD! Da3n those taxes and gas prices though...disrespectful, as my husband would say. Here is a look at some of our shenanigans while child free in a brand new place.
Family Camp Oktoberfest Fredericksburg Texas
มุมมอง 3811 หลายเดือนก่อน
A weekend in one of my favorite cities! As a last minute trip we all camped in the cargo trailer. Not one of Daddy's favorite things but 122 is way better than 947 for 2 nights stay. Can't complain too much because we all had a pretty good dang time. Oktoberfest was fun but I think we'll skip the crowds and go on a normal weekend next time.
Camping Mistakes l Replacing the Plug on my AC
มุมมอง 4711 หลายเดือนก่อน
I used an inadequate extension cord to get my portable A/C plugged into an outlet at a state park. In this video, we find out if replacing the MELTED plug of the A/C unit and using an appropriate extension cord fixes a 600 dollar mistake.
Possum Kingdom Night Out
มุมมอง 4511 หลายเดือนก่อน
Went to another "new to me" state park. I really enjoyed this park but I had a little hiccup in the middle of my stay. I swam, kayaked, watched movies and got a little bit of rest considering the circumstances. Gonna keep getting out there even if I mess it up sometimes.
Solo Trip: Balmorhea SP and Davis Mountains SP
มุมมอง 65ปีที่แล้ว
Took a couple of days after school started to get into some cooler Texas temperatures. It has been over 100 degrees for much of the summer and we won't cool down for over a month. Ft. Davis has a lot of appeal right now. I've never seen McDonald observatory nor have I visited this historical site. I'm actually really excited about making another trip out here with the fam when it cools down jus...

Spring Break trip to see my second national park this year. Hot Springs National Park disappointed but it was a nice trip and Arkansas is beautiful. One night in Bob Sandlin state park was lovely.

San Angelo SP Solo Camp Out
มุมมอง 130ปีที่แล้ว
Got a new toy and a night off. I've never been to San Angelo SP and I was hoping that (because of the large trail system) I would get in 8 miles of hiking. Not impressed with the park. The wind didn't help my attitude. It was nice to get out and test out my new mini bike.
Dinosaur Valley SP Family Weekend
มุมมอง 64ปีที่แล้ว
Cold weekend at a State Park we have never been to before. I really love getting the kids and myself away from electronics. These trips are a lot of work and sometimes tempers run a little hot. Ultimately this is a great memory. We will definitely be coming back to Dinosaur Valley State Park.

    We had a similar issue with our trailer. A loose tooth on the plug caused a short and the plug melted. Had to buy a new power cord and a surge protector. Costs nearly $200 to get it back to useable. Sometimes the frustration is HIGH! But it’s always good to be camping! Those jumping fish look like bass hitting a school of minnows btw. That’s prime time to drop a lure or bait right in the middle of that ruckus. We live in Texas too but have yet to visit Possum Kingdom. We like to camp around Canyon lake. I was just on an EBike ride down River Road this past Sunday. Have you stayed at the KL campground? That looked promising.

    My husband and I are Certified Survivalist a trick me and him learned that you can spray waterproof spray inside amd out for that size about 4 cans would hold up for a year or two even for living in it we have the ten person version of this tent amd we own a couple more tents by this company they are great for the price range but waterproof it inside and out even the walls and yours should be good for a long time we don't even get the dew inside ours with that trick od suggest doing that you will be surprised at the results

      i usually have to fold it up then kneel on it while I roll it. I then tie it with some rope in at lease two places. I also unzip the bag in the field. At home when I take it out to dry I can do the same thing and zip the bag back up completely.

    Solar Tip You can steplessly dim down a bulge and all other hungry electricity consumers with a 5000W dimmer (7, EUR). I run 5 dimmers in parallel on an 850W inverter. Kettle 2.2KW at 150W runs 12 hours a day, so the water is always hot. The room is also nicely heated. 2.5KW washing machine runs in parallel with dimmed to 200...400W. Iron, dishwasher, oven, electric heater, coffee machine, all internal heating are throttled with me. Videos on my channel th-cam.com/video/eC2olbCBhh0/w-d-xo.html The inverter stays cool, quiet and the MOSFETs remain intact because no extreme current peaks arrive at the inverter. Now every Mini PV Inverter is enough to sell large devices...
