BLOG Layout

A number of text files that I had created to improve navigation in this Blog Layout have disappeared. Those files were located on the left and right sidebars. Apparently, text gadgets, unlike other types of gadgets are NOT automatically backed-up by the BLOGGER application ... something I just found out.

The only solution presently, is to recreate all those text files as new gadgets and this will take some time. I apologize to anyone following the blog. Anyone who is using BLOGGER, take note and create your own backups of text documents in case you need to restore ... I know I will be!

UPDATE 1: The problem has now been reported through a blogger community forum and I understand has been escalated to a development team. Hopefully a solution can be found.

UPDATE 2: Text gadgets can be created once again. However, I was unable to recover any of mine. I have recreated them all, saved them as Word files in case the problem re-occurs and restored the original Blog Layout. Big, thanks to the blogger techs!

Crusty ... feeling better now

BASECAMP 06.26.15 ... " Pre-trip Trans-Labrador Highway "

WE'RE going for a drive to ...

We've completed some service and upgrades on the truck and camper. Helen's preparing the food supplies and packing while I'm assembling any gear we'll be taking with us this trip. We have a few responsibilities to attend to, but I expect we'll get away within the next 10 to 14 days. 

BASECAMP 06.24.15 ... " My THIRD Epiphany "

WE took occupancy of an unfinished home in August 2007 and in May 2015, after painting out the trim in the Audio Video Room, we had officially completed it ... close to  eight years later! 

New Facebook Group - Canadian Truck Camper Owners

We love to travel in our truck camper, to share our travels, experiences and ideas with others. 

We have joined various truck camper associations/groups/meetings and thoroughly enjoy being part of the discussions. However, we feel the need for a group with a more Canadian perspective on travelling in a truck camper/RV.

Did you know that Canada is the second largest country in the world (2nd only to Russia), yet has a population of just under 36 million (less than the population of California at 38.8 million). Therefore, owning and travelling in a truck camper is very different than elsewhere. 75% of our population live within 161 KM (100 miles) of the Canada/US border, leaving vast areas of under-populated wilderness to explore. These facts alone change the way we live and travel in our truck campers.
