The Rising Cost of Outdoor Recreation

September 20, 2019October 26, 2019 - by Shelia Miner

I leaned over the counter at the local sporting goods store and poured over the watercraft registration and invasive species sticker regulations for Idaho watercraft. The question we were trying to answer was if a 9′ inflatable pontoon boat equipped with a small electric trolling motor needs to be registered as a watercraft in the State of Idaho. One clerk said that any type of boat under power needs to be registered, while the other thought the float tube exception covered the craft in question. What started the discussion was my futile attempt to purchase an invasive species sticker for my canoe and pontoon boat. The discussion ended with me leaving the store with a sticker for only my canoe. The frustrated clerks advised me to contact the Department of Motor Vehicles, and Parks and Recreation, or possibly the Department of Fish & Game to answer the question of the …

My Recent Experience With a Flushing Porta Potty

September 12, 2019October 26, 2019 - by Shelia Miner

I have been camping for many years, and have recently discovered the flushing porta potty to make out camping experiences much more pleasant. Portable toilets have been around for a long time, but the new breed of portable toilets have really come of age, and the design, functionality, and most of all, price, have all improved greatly in recent times.

I am a big fan of heading out on the weekend, driving to a location we’ve never been to, and setting up camp. The problem is that the kids are getting to the age that they are not happy just squatting behind a tree to do their business, and it was beginning to get a little tiring having to listen to the arguments.

I went online and bought a Thetford 265 porta potti for around $130 USD. It arrived in a couple of days and I was amazed at how …

The North and Northeast shore of Curacao are spectacular as well as a fabulous place to discover and shoot remarkable all-natural wonders. The lengthy north coast of Curacao is frequently hit by the northeast trade winds, which have made a rough coastline of weather-beaten terrain, limestone cliff formations of old volcanic rock and crushed coral.

It’s probable to drive along dirt rugged roads and to hike around trails that could take you closer to seaside views and photo possibilities.

Travel Jobs Providing an Exciting Career

July 25, 2019September 3, 2019 - by Shelia Miner

We are funny creatures when you come to think about it. We grow up, learn to walk, talk and feed ourselves before being bundled off to school where we are taught to read, write and a host of other skills before being thrown out of the door and into the big wide world. It is no wonder that most of us don’t know what we want to do with the rest of our lives.
