Welcome to “My Quality time”…. Linda and I recently

did a little camping/hiking in the Hocking Hills area

of Ohio. We love our T&B ( Little Guy ) camping trailer

With all the rain we have had there was a little

extra water going over the falls.

“The Stairs” in the Hocking Hills of Ohio

MQTlogoa For a Spiritual start to the day “The Stairs” by T.D. Garrison and a couple photos of mine taken in the Hocking Hills of Ohio.

DSC_0017

Oh long and dark the stairs I trod,
with stumbling feet to find my God,
Gaining a foothold bit by bit
Then slipping back and losing it.

DSC_0074

There came a certain time when I
Loosened my hold and fell thereby,
Down to the lowest step my fall
As if I had not climbed at all.

DSC_0071

And as I lay despairing there,
there came a footfall on the stairs
And 'lo' when hope had ceased to be
My God came down the stairs to me.

jtf1 Hope everyone has a great day. Linda and I certainly enjoyed hiking in The Hocking Hills of Ohio.

Ready To Roll With Our T@B Trailer

MQTlogoa As some of you know Linda and I have always enjoyed camping/traveling. We decided to trade in our tent and get a small camping trailer. The T@B Q Max is what we decided on. T@B is manufactured right here in Ohio by Little Guy Worldwide: 4122 Erie Ave. S.W., Massillon, Ohio 44646

DSC_0006 A big thanks to Bruce Miller RV Specialist at Haydocy RV on West Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio. When we pulled out of the lot (thanks to Bruce ) all our questions about the T@B had been answered and we were Ready to Roll.

So for our “shake down” trip::

Linda and I spent four days and three nights at the campground and had a wonderful/comfortable time. In the evenings it was a little chilly but with the Alde heating system we were as warm as toast.

DSC_0045 I found the T@B very easy to tow with my Trail Blazer.

DSC_0043 As always, thanks for stopping by and have a great day.. Oh the teddy bears enjoyed the trip also..LOL

JOELINDA1 Linda and I are recently back from a relaxing vacation at Harris Lake.(near  Pointe au Baril, ON.)

Harris Lake is located just 3 hours from Toronto off highway 69 north. The cottage is about a ten minute boat ride from the marina. A big thanks to the Hnatewice family (marina owners) for all their help.. Their son Orest operated the taxi boat and helped us get all our gear to the cabin. Now, a few photos for SkyWatch Friday::

I’m not sure the beaver was much interested in the moon….

100_9079

100_9120 Looks like a good morning for a little fishing if we could get rid of those clouds.

100_9127

Looking better so time to do a little fishing on the Magnetawan River

100_9113

Linda and I had rented the “Red Dragon” boat on the left. The fishing boat has a 9.9 outboard motor and the boat turned out to be very stable. The outboard started on the first “pull” each time.

Every morning about 7:00 Am the local squirrel dropped pine cones onto the metal roof of the cottage.. We were Bombarded.. didn’t need an alarm clock. LOL

The cottage is owned by Richard and Kathy and is used year round.. A quick look around a working Cottage/Camp…

100_9055 For use this winter in the wood stove..

100_9059 There is going to be some ice fishing.

All trash/garbage was taken to the marina to be disposed off when we left, though we were able to use some “waste paper products” to start the campfire.

“One can  camp free on Crown land and within Magnetawan River Provincial Park, which combine to encompass most of the route. Some campsites are indicated with orange markers while others show distinct signs of use.” See below…

100_9018 I didn’t have much luck fishing on this trip. Do you think I might have been paying more attention to taking photos? LOL. I think I did get some great photos for Sky Watch Friday which is a great site to visit/view beautiful skies from all over the world.
