    WPCoffeeTalk: Alex Standiford

    I had the pleasure of chatting with Michelle Frechette on WPCoffeeTalk today. We talked about WordPress, my new site, and the fields API

    I opened the door today to get some packages that other campers made sure to deliver to our door today. As I did, a group across the field shouted WE MISS YOU ALEX!!!!! we’re still quarantining for COVID, so we haven’t seen anyone all week.

    Community is fundamentally why we started picking two seasonal spots, and I’m so here for this moment. It’s nice to be loved.

    We made it back to Charlie, our camper in Vermont, yesterday. We’ve all got Covid and I’m pretty much spending my day recovering. Gilmore Girls, fever reducers, and tissues abound. I’m so glad we got back before everyone’s symptoms peaked.

  • Alex Standiford

    Well, I had a good run. Just over 3 years I have managed to dodge Covid, but it seems my luck has run out.

    And no, isolating in a camper is anything but fun.

    Parked the camper about 1/3rd of the way to DC from our summer home in Vermont. Didn’t even bother disconnecting it from the truck. We’ve got places to go!

    I do feel bad for this campground though. We’ve done this three times to this same one. It’s just in the right spot for a late night layover on the way to DC (and more importantly, the Outer Banks ????)

    Meet Charlie, Our Summer Camper

    Earlier this year we bought a used camper to put on our seasonal lot in Vermont. This post talks about the camper, and how it stacks up with our other campers.

    Living It Up With a Shed

    We set up a shed on our seasonal lot in Vermont, and I’m so happy with the results. This post talks a bit about how we built the shed, and the platform it’s built on.

  • Alex Standiford

    We finally put the truck rack on the truck today. And hours later, we already made use of it, to haul some lumber for a small platform we need to build for our shed. We got this so we can take kayaks and things with us when we travel ????

    Well that was the longest 650 miles ever. 15 hours. In city or town traffic for the majority of the drive. Camper in tow. Tired. Sleeping now ????.

    On a fun note, I got to see parts of New York City. Kinda neat I guess.

  • Alex Standiford

    Woke up this morning preparing to drive to Vermont, and remembered that we did not make this drive in one go before. It’s 720 miles (!). Our highest mileage is 620. Guess we’re stopping in Poughkeepsie. It only cost 27 bucks though, thanks to the crazy amount of KOA rewards we’ve accumulated this year ????.
