    Dates edited The Pepperells will be attending this year. Maybe I should change our forum name to Homeless, since we don't live in Pepperell anymore. We'll be staying at Maplewoods Campground in Johnson, VT from the 15th till the 22th. You're welcome to visit us in site 63.

    Sleeping pad recommendation for camping?

    Exped 9 synthetic. Rolls up smaller than a football. Built in pump inflates the bag in about 2 minutes. Not inexpensive, tho.

    Trailer hitch build

    I'm late to the table as usual, but I attached the chains to the bolt that holds the coupler to the trailer tongue. It's about 6" back from the ball. There are only 6 links plus the elongated s hook on each chain. The s hooks attach no further than 2" to the left and right of the ball. This...

    Mr. and Mrs. Pepperell head for the BRP and TOTD

    Since we camp and eat breakfast and supper in camp, it consumes a good chunk of daylight. That said, it's incredibly cheap. Camping fees are under $20 in state parks, and average $6 in national parks. All parks have had hot showers. The one private camping area we were at was Hunts in...

    To clarify, the CHILD is 32; Grace is still 29... Re pics: what you'll see while we're on the road will be smart fone shots. The glamour shots will be uploaded after we get back. Thanks for all the kind words, post up anything you think we should visit while we're there.

    We did the Skyline Drive a while ago (Lesee, Grace was pregnant with our third child at the time; she's 32 now. You do the math.) but only did a couple of hours on the Blue Ridge Parkway. At this rate I'll be back down there when I'm 98! We'll be gone from 8/10/14 till 8/18/14. We'll be...

    A Ride with Mom

    My father wanted nothing to do with murdercycles, but we often rode up to visit him in Maine. He became totally blind by the time he was 70. He passed away 6 years ago at 85. That's my son on his YZF600R behind us on the XS750F. Tempus fugit; do it now.
