Chengdu China

Chengdu China

I recently had the opportunity to visit Chengdu China. With over 14 million residents, Chengdu is the fourth largest city in China. Chengdu is located in the middle of China and is the capitol of Sichuan province. The food in Chengdu tends to be on the spicier side. Chicken with red peppers was a common…

Added Three States

Added Three States

I just added three more states to my visited places map; Maine, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. That makes seventeen total states I have visited since getting my camper about 2 and a half years ago. There is so much to see in the USA and I am glad to have the opportunity to do at least…

Going to Camp

Outfitting a Camper

It has been over a year since we bought our Jayco 26BH. When I started shopping for a camper, I really had no idea what it would take to get properly outfitted and ready for our adventures. I did a lot of research; talking to experienced campers and asking questions on the Trailer Life forums….
