Great DIY RV Website

I recently found a site I love, its "http://cheaprvliving.com/index.html" Awesome tips on RV, Boat, and multiple vehicle conversion ideas. Even Budget guidlines by experienced "Road Warriors" The options are endless. As retirement approaches, and although I own property, I see it as a great low cost way to make long cross country trips. Check it out!

Lake Istokpoga Observatory

My Astonomer neighbor Near Lorida, Florida on Lake Istokpoga


I was searching for a webcam on my nearby Lake and found this Observatory nearby, I have to say, I'm super impressed, I could see the stars very clearly when I camped overnight there so this is a natural! I like my little patch better all the time!

My first night in Lorida...

I have decided the 2 hour trip up to the property is a nice short trip, so, I decided to try it this past friday with a twist, I figured I might as well set up a tent and stay overnight to see how it looked at night. Well, it was great! I got there and set up camp, planted the three trees, (Areca Palm, Oleander and another Bouganvilla Bush) I had brought to hopefully bring a bit of shade and give my property some character. I Would have loved to build a fire but the cuttings from having the lot bushhogged left carpet of tinder and I had exactly I gallon of water, so, no fire this time..heres some pics, I was pleased to see within the short walk I took in the evening (unfortunately forgot to bring the camera, but not my trusty machete!) the following wildlife: An Armadillo, 3 cottontail jackrabbits, an alligator in a small canal, a wild turkey, lots of of wild hog tracks which I heard the owners of during the night, a red-tailed hawk fly overhead with a snake in its talons, and raccoon track, owners not found.

Another peice of Dirt

I am always looking for something, well, everything actually, and a few months ago while surfing the web I found a little parcel of land in central Florida for sale, for $1,500 bucks so I jumped on it. Its a long story, but it ended with a guy needing some money, and my luck, it was tax return time! But, here it is. It sits between an orange grove, a cow pasture, and a 5 by 10 mile lake. I'm Excited, so, I got it mowed so I could get in there and plant some trees, its like a Blank Palette, but, so is my checkbook, so, this may take awhile...
