 We took the time to visit Pleasant Creek West Virginia only to find the lake mostly drained. The only thing I could imagine was that the Tygart River Dam had been fully open and drained the back side of the Tygart Lake. Pleasant Creek, although not a state park is a wildlife management area and includes boating, skiing, swimming, fishing, gun ranges, and more. This little area is a local favorite for fishing and swimming.  If you are driving down RT119 and come to the Taylor County Barbour County line turn into the Pleasant Creek area for a nice little day trip if you'd like a picnic and swimming with the family. All are welcome to visit this little beach and I recommend it. I think I'd rather visit on a weekday as it can be very busy on hot weekends.  In the video I show you the entire lake and how low the water levels are. From where I am standing you can see the parking area and the beach area. Hope you enjoy the video and please subscribe to the channel and the blog. 

  Hello readers, this episode is more of a special than anything. In this video I beg you to watch in its entirety I go over hauling, the wiring harness for lights, a complete guide to the outside of your pop up camper, and a thorough inside tour. This is a must see for anyone looking to buy a pop up camper or recent new owners who need the help. If you are a new owner congratulations.  We are still slowly getting ready to head out next month on our adventure. As of today we are feeling confident that we are almost ready. We recently purchased a 1994 Ford Explorer to pull our new RV home and have gotten it all legal. We also purchased a wiring harness to get the lights on the camper running, and I installed it. This is shown on the video. We also purchased a few decoration items to have inside our camper to make it a bit more ours.  The trips we have planned are going to be both education and fun for our viewers. We plan on visiting historical sites and fun sites to show on our channel

 Audra State Park is located just outside of Philippi West Virginia. This park is an overnight camping park and boasts a boardwalk under the cave ledges that overhang the river that flows through the park. The park also has playgrounds and picnic areas as well. This is the perfect place to hang out for a day and enjoy the beautiful scenery and awesome views from the boardwalk or aka cave trail. You could also spend the night and walk the boardwalk early morning for some cool temps and sunrise views. This video features a walk through the caves and views of the river.  Check out the video above and please subscribe to the channel and blog for weekly adventures. We plan to bring better and better videos each week featuring our travels throughout West Virginia, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. We also want to head out to North Carolina and visit Mount Airy also know as Mayberry. 

 I know I’ve mentioned in the past that I suffer form bipolar disorder. Well, I created a short video about the feelings of worthlessness and depression that come along with this illness. The video shares some of my own insights on how I feel and how I cope. Learning tho accept the gifts we as human beings have to share with the world is a start to recovery. I know there is no cure for bipolar disorder but there is treatment and medicine to help learn how to handle the stress. In this video we can see a small change in how I feel as the time progresses.  By simply going to work and being a husband and father I have self worth. By accepting that I am a  videographer and photographer, and that I can write and draw I have talents. These things give me self worth and a reason to be here and enjoy life. I can create things for others like drawings, poems, short stories, videos, and capture memories on digital formats to keep for a lifetime. I am someone. I am a human being with emotions and

This week we visited Tygart Lake State Park located in Grafton WV. This park has some beautiful sights and sounds. We saw one of the largest dams on the east coast as well as used some playground equipment to make us feel young again. The park boasts a 10 room lodge complete with a café and gift shop, a marina where you can store your boat or rent one, a beach area for swimming, multiple play areas, and a wildlife center. The lake itself is 1760 acres of water with 391 extra acres of shoreline and park area.  The campground is an astounding 30 lot campground with 10 lots complete with water and electric. The park also hosts multiple cabins for those who wish to shower and watch satellite TV while camping in comfort. With all of this who would want to leave after their maximum fourteen-day stay. Tygart Lake State Park is truly one of the best state parks in West Virginia. Visit this park soon, and you won’t be let down.   

 Living in West Virginia doesn’t give a person a lot to do. I decided to remedy this by doing what a lot of people have inspired me to do, hit the road and live the vanlife. That’s right, this year we are taking our show on the road. I will work on my website, youtube channel, podcast, and more form the road. We purchased a pop up camper and cleaned it out, decorated it, and now all we have to do is wait on the weather to say, go.  The camper is a 1996 Coleman by Fleetwood Santa Fe. It needed some serious cleaning when we purchased it as shown in the video but either way at the end of the video you can see it look real nice. We plan on hitting some serious places with it this spring and summer. Stay tuned and click the drop down box at the top of the page to support us on Patreon if you can.  Here’s the video of the beginning of our exciting journey by cleaning the camper and taking you on a tour.  RVLife Full Time  Hope you all enjoy our adventure as much as we will. We will keep you

  So I've been thinking a lot about this little video. I downloaded the images from a free image sharing sight called Unsplash.com and came up with an idea of visiting an Apple Store to actually buy a product. This isn't how it would be in real life but I feel that it would be similar.  As for the big news, my wife and I bought a pop up camper and are looking to travel during our off days from work. We have the luxury to actually have four to five days off and two to three days on each week. So any given week week we are off for four days minimum. I thought man, we could hit the road every week and have mini vacation in our camper for basically free. Then I got to thinking we could have a small travel series called van life or camper life on YouTube. What a great idea!!! Stay tuned for next week because next week will be the start to all of this.   Please check our podcast on the podcast page or where ever you listen to your podcast.
