YARD SALE CAMPING FINDS & A HORSE

Wow could not believe my luck today at yard sales! Since I got my van I now have been looking and watching in ernest for any camping needs. And today was the day!. I got this Coleman powerchill cooler on my first stop. You can use it on 12 volt cigarette lighter while driving then plug in to electric when getting to camp ground. I have priced these at about 130 to 150,00 I paid 35.00 for it. The reviews are all excellent and think I got a great deal. It is just like new. lady told me they only used it 3 times and then no longer went camping. Any way I am a happy camper lol.

Look how clean and new it is. Even the box is new looking and undamaged.

And I have been looking for a camp chair that will fold  pretty flat and be sturdy at the same time. Low and behold on my second stop today I found this great like new folding canvas camp chair. Canvas is in great shape not torn or rotted. Just what I have been looking for. Then on my next stop I found a memory form matrice queen size. I know the people and it is nice and clean. (or I would not have bought it) I did not take a pic yet but will when I get ready to install my bed in The Savana. Things are looking up for the rv/camping travels.

And this is not a sight you see every day in town. At least not on my street, at wal mart and such places around here you do, in fact they have a horse barn at wall mart for parking horse and buggy. This was at 7am guess he is going to beat the rush at wal mart, I only live a mile away. He must be taking a short cut.
Working on house: got the blue bedroom done! Scrubbed, cleaned new curtains and painted woodwork. Looks good and makes me feel good that I got it done. Started on the small bedroom. I will post some pic's soon. All for now thanks for looking and come back soon.

BIKE/WALKING PATH CACHE & MAGGIE

MAGGIE WAITING ON THE TRAIL
THE CACHE IS HIDING

THE CACHE WEATHER:Cold and rainy last few days. Ugh! Temp today 59
The cache of the day is one we found on Sunday. It was on a paved bike/walking trail, not far from where my son lives. There are about 5 or 6 on this trail, the first one I did not find I think it was in the woods a little to far for me to leave Maggie on the trail, as she doesn't like to go in the woods. I don't like to leave her alone. The second one along the trail is the one I took pic's of. Trees made the GPS jump around but I finally found it, using the hint on the web site about a log, but believe me there were lots of logs lying around. I was a green camo'ed plastic jar gal size I look for travel bugs but none to be found this time. By the time I found this one it was time to go eat dinner with son and family. I will be back another time for more.
You can see Maggie waiting on the trail for me in the first pic. You can click on the pic's to make them bigger. She is such a good dogie just sits and waits for me, no hassle at all.
The last few days with all the nasty weather outside I have been working in the basement. Wow
what a job, sometimes I have to go through things twice because I think I will need something or what ever, then go back and say I DO NOT NEED IT! "When" I get it all cleaned out I will put that dry locke stuff on the walls , I did it about 25 yrs ago and it has held up good. The foundations is what they used 100 yrs ago , sand stone, and it flakes over time. This is just one of many many jobs I have to do before renting or selling. I think need to have a yard sale soon to help free up some space. I am going to have a huge one Memorial Day weekend at my brothers house, he lives on a main road to Pymatuning State Park and is a very busy road. Always do good there on a busy weekend.
Well that's all for now stay tuned see what tomorrow brings.
Happy Caching
