Magic Carpet or Segway?! | Vantramps
http://www.vantramps.com/2012/09/magic-carpet-or-segway.html
The focus of this blog. The Wise and Wonderful People. Thursday, September 20, 2012. Magic Carpet or Segway? Since we couldn't locate a magic carpet anywhere, Heidi and I recently picked up this clean first generation i167 Segway found locally on Craigslist. Perhaps the best money we ever spent! Steve and Taj have had a chance to meet of course but for the moment, the Dodge truck, Seth, gets the hauling duties until Taj gets a new hitch receiver for the carrier to mount to. (pictured below). Currently st...

The focus of this blog. The Wise and Wonderful People. Monday, September 19, 2011. For the past few months especially, Heidi and I have been a lot less active online for fun reasons. We have been focusing more of our time on our hobbies, especially those that are more seasonal. I feel quite guilty that I haven't been sharing that with you all! So without further delay. We have been fishing! A few too many times! Whatever it is, I really have been enjoying learning it so far. She has had a lot of fun too.

The focus of this blog. The Wise and Wonderful People. Monday, October 31, 2011. If you squint a little, maybe stick out your tongue and tip your head to the left, you will see there is a little gold in the bottom of that pan. A very little gold. This was found in a previous prospecting trip from a few years back.(the horrible picture is from then too). There are some really great things about gold prospecting as a hobby that fits very well with the VanTramping lifestyle! Over the years, I have hunted go...

The focus of this blog. The Wise and Wonderful People. I really think everyone should have a bucket list. It is such a simple and fun thing :) Here is mine! 1) I want to find one of those fainting goats and well, make him faint! 2) Have a potluck sorta meal with my fellow Vantramps that only consists of wild edibles and caught fish and/or game. 3) Knit a sock monkey! 4) Take a picture of Heidi pretending to ride the big fake fish in Garrison MN. 7) Take the Roadtrek factory tour. Our future homestead and...

The focus of this blog. The Wise and Wonderful People. Friday, April 27, 2012. New somewhat furry Baby! This cute little critter is a new addition at the Thomas Morgan Ranch, (also known as Dad's place). He was born on Tuesday, April 24th and was quickly dubbed "Atlantis Crossing". We call him "Andy" for short and he is apparently a bit of a ham! Tongue out at the camera! The Good Luck Duck. April 27, 2012 at 6:19 PM. April 27, 2012 at 7:26 PM. April 28, 2012 at 6:04 AM.

The focus of this blog. The Wise and Wonderful People. Monday, April 16, 2012. Most folks that know Heidi and I well, know how much we enjoy Taj and the nomadic lifestyle. So why are we now, at least partially, changing direction? The threat of economic meltdown? NahNone of the above. After facing our own dire health predictions for 40 some years, doomsday scenarios don't really get us too excited. Besides, we both believe "To live is Christ, to die is gain". Realistically, it will likely take us two yea...

Leatherwork - Fun, useful skill and perfect for vantramping! | Vantramps
http://www.vantramps.com/2012/06/leatherwork-fun-useful-skill-and.html
The focus of this blog. The Wise and Wonderful People. Saturday, June 9, 2012. Leatherwork - Fun, useful skill and perfect for vantramping! Leathercraft is definitely a nomad friendly hobby! I enjoy it about the same as doing jewelry work, and it is just as easy to do in the small spaces of a van or RV. Of course I plan to do a lot more of it and have a few ideas even to dress Taj up a bit, but she isn't getting pants! That is just way more hand stitching than I could handle!

The focus of this blog. The Wise and Wonderful People. Tuesday, July 5, 2011. Lyre River Campground - Free Camping at it's best! I hesitate to publish this post for fear I may be chased out of this wonderful state! We like to tell people that "Washington is closed" or the more common, "it always rains here and is miserable at best".I doubt either of those methods ever work, but I am always pleasantly surprised by the serenity that can be found here and that it remains far from crowded. Perhaps not easy t...
