We got Miss Kitty as a young kitten when we lived in Hawaii after our previous cat of 15 years had passed away. It was just too empty not having a companion in the house. We adopted her from a local vet who volunteered with the local humane society doing catch and release spaying programs … Continue reading I think my cat is a reincarnated maternal ancestor (or something like that? Lol)
So.... I have found the absolute best item to have in the RV for keeping warm while winter camping! Surprisingly, it is NOT an electric blanket lol. I've never been a fan of electric blankets because I can feel the wires, not to mention that darn electric chord is always in the way and getting … Continue reading Winter camping must have! The one thing I won’t go winter camping without ever again.
Lately it has been cold and rainy and during the summer we had hot and rainy... which means a need to control the humidity inside the RV. Humidity control is very important if you want to keep your RV in tip top condition and it's even more important if you are very allergic to molds! … Continue reading Full time RV’ing and humidity control inside the RV
We've received some fabulous donations this year for the museum so we can do some fun event planning! Our previously mostly empty room that served during the 1800's and 1900's as a post office, telegraph office, telephone switchboard room, and Union Civil war payroll office is getting some new items that have been generously donated … Continue reading Awesome new displays in progress at the Bulltown Historic Area and Museum

Also, there have been quite a … Continue reading A quick note from Conestoga Chuck
A special shout out to the Billings Montana weavers guild and my friend JoAnne S. For teaching me how to weave over the winter. Without their help I wouldn't have been able to set up the mini WV loomery to do demonstrations, classes and hands on fun for the many visitors to the historical area … Continue reading Friends of Burnsville Lake craft and gift shoppe (aka “the WV loomery”)

Forget those pop up canvas camping shades! Get a 10x10 doggie kennel instead! Place an indoor outdoor rug for their enjoyment plus lots … Continue reading Doggie comforts while camping
Before we plug in at any camp site we always check the electrical on the campground side first. Twice in our camping ventures we have found electrical hookups at campgrounds with open grounds. If you are not familiar with electrical systems... basically this means if there is a surge in power on the city power … Continue reading The importance of checking electrical before plugging in!
Ran into a bit of snow in SD yesterday with even more snow in the forecast right smack dab in the middle of our chosen route between "here and there" lol so what's a wagon train to do but circle up the wagons and stay in camp an extra night! We were super lucky to … Continue reading The Conestoga gets snowed in!
Yesterday and today was spent lazily traveling thru Wyoming and South Dakota, which is honestly my favorite part of this trip. Such beautiful landscape and very sparsely populated... I can imagine myself traveling in a true Conestoga in a wagon train as one of the many first settlers to the area. Some of the mountains … Continue reading Conestoga Chuck travels across the prairie
