My kind of adventure.

We Still Have a Few…
It’s been ages since we’ve updated our map!
Since the last update – back in April, I think – we’ve added a few states. In order traveled:
- North Carolina
- Virginia
- West Virginia
- Maryland
- Pennsylvania
- New Jersey
- New York
- Connecticut
- Rhode Island
- Massachusetts
- Ohio
- Michigan
Alas, this will mark the end of our interstate travels for this year as we’ve reached ‘home’ and will be tucking in for a Pacific Northwest winter.
Arr!
I’ve always had this crazy idea that I couldn’t get out of my head: Someday obtaining sailboat (maybe a 40 or 45 ft sailing cat) and exploring every island, inlet, harbor, bay, and beach from Border Field to Point Roberts – maybe on to Skagway then back down again.
Real-Time Event
So, we posted this on The Book of Face yesterday evening. You see, this phase of our journey is nearing its end and we’re planning on doing the “house” thing again in the very near future.
No, I Will Not Just Not Use the Safety
The SurgeGuard defends against dangerous under- and over-voltage. This is a good thing: electrical fires caused by bad power in an RV are pretty scary. It also protects against a few other types of problems plaguing RV parks and campgrounds: miswired, missing grounds, reverse polarity on single-leg applications…
So this week, our SurgeGuard has steadfastly refused to switch power on when the pedestal voltage is over 129v on either leg. Overnight the voltage here reaches 133VAC. Legs are out of phase–and drifting! And the park hosts say, “yeah, we know–we just tell people not to use their SurgeGuards.”
Do you really now?
Couple things:
– ours is hard-wired, and
– no
