    Had the same issue with the now short stabilizers on my now 4" lifted Chalet A-frame. My simple solution was a trip to Wal Mart. Picked up four 6" hard plastic furniture risers for a few bucks. They nest together when not in use and work perfectly on the round feet of the stabilizers. Glad to see you back out on the road.

    I travel by bicycle and the new reservation systems are a real pain. I pretty much have to call in when I get to a camping area because I can't absolutely predict that I will get there. Anything from strong head winds to road closures to flat tires and I'm off any schedule. At state parks there will usually be a twenty four hour place I can call. County parks have to be called during business hours. Here in MN, if I arrive under my own power, I generally a spot available at a state park if I meet certain times and conditions. I cycled the north shore circle route from Thunder Bay Ontario to Sault ste. Marie last june 2022. On the MN north shore section, it was Memorial Day weekend. I could have shown up at the campgrounds and been allowed to stay one night. However, the weather was really, cold, rainy and windy so people were canceling their weekend plans. The lousy weather saved my vacation!

Always wash the top of your beer cans with non stream and non lake water. 2. Only buy food containing ingrediences with less than 1 square inch. 3. View and incorporate healthy food and supplement videos.

    Hi Slim, welcome to PA! I love our state parks and campgrounds but agree with you about the rules and regs. Campgrounds with facilities cost more, but I can take the senior discount, which most of the time cancels out the $6.50 reservation fee.

    I have those Atwood stabilizers, too. One trick I learned for getting them snug- when setting up, jack the nose down about a half bubble on the level, set the stabilizers, the raise the nose to level. Snug.

    I have lived on the Eastern US (a few hours from the coast so I stopped saying East Coast) for decades now and am familiar with the staging of seasonal changes as you move higher in altitude and in latitude. The redbud was in its hay day just a couple of weeks ago and I was surprised (shouldn’t have been) to see Northern New Hampshire still in the infancy of this spring. Was it because I am in the smokies? Well, sure but not really. I realized, because I was surprised by my surprise, that I drive up to Vermont and New Hampshire each spring. Driving, I pass through the changes as I go so that I am mentally at the correct stage when I arrive. Your photography is so good that details didn’t escape and it was clear that thing were quite a few stages behind me. Well…DUH! As Homer Simpson and my then teenage daughter would say. My father was a machinist and when things would break or operated suboptimally then dad would fix or make something that would take the entire tool and advance its capabilities and ease of use. When I was putting hand controls on my (now late) husband’s truck, one of the bars was short and unstable. I was going to have to take it to a machinist and that was going to be expensive. It wasn’t!!! I might have cost me $30 but because of the nature of the device, they wouldn’t take money for it. Now, you have it resolved and you know better than anyone how well it will hold against gravity, should you ever park on a slope. I don’t ever see that happening but tossing out theoretical anyway. If you have to beef it up, talk to a machinist. He will make an extension out of very strong metal that will be welded on and hold for the life of the stabilizer. Just an FYI. Or something

    Info on ticks. The don't go down. Get a tick on your finger. Let it start to crawl. Turn you hand upside down and watch what happens. It's not a fashion statement, but tuck your pants into your socks. Your top into your pants. Now you only have to focus on arms and neck with bug spray.

Great lake to kayak on - no motors allowed. I grew up and wen to college in NE PA. Beautiful area! Can tour a coal mine as well In Lansford PA which is about 20 mins from Jim Thorpe. Enjoy and thanks for such wonderful videos!

    Hey Slim. I realized quickly that I may find locations that didn't allow my stabilizers to reach the ground. I didn't even thing of cutting and jury rigging them as you did. What I did, I went to Lowe's and bought a 2x6, and had it cut into 12 inch lengths. I have plenty to stack on each stabilizer, and a couple left over for the tongue jack. An additional benefit that I can see, it will spread the weight around to a larger footprint, if I find myself in soft soil. I'm towing with a Chevy Colorado, and have plenty of room and cargo weight capacity to stow them in a tub in the bed.
