There's nothing like a 3900 mile road trip to break something in.... and so it goes with my gypsy wagon and my son. We ventured to our home in the north for the summer and said goodbye to our son as he is venturing off to start his own life in Alaska.

It's worth saying again... Maysie is fine! She's retired. We don't have a vehicle that would make it comfortable for her to take this drive. She's too old for most adventures. She's in good care with our daughter in the meantime. I appreciate all the well wishes and care for the LEGEND.... DA WOOF! Long live DA WOOF! xoxo Thanks for watching!

People just don't pay attention & listen! Da woof is in retirement and doing what she likes to do now.. She is getting old and is leaving the energetic stuff to mad zooming moose 😂.. Enjoy your time away and hope You & Dave get to have a nibble at Mike's new home...get those chainsaws out guys and Mike...except the help!! You will soon realise that getting as much done now will pave the way for a easier winter...your such a wonderful family..come on Belle you need a channel now...😊

Its hard for parents when the young one say thanks and just now no thanks. For now whats needed is just be there for him when he ask for help or advice and he'll ask. You have a well rounded son. Love to Maysie da woof when you get home. Hi Moose. Remember get out and get 🎉happy🎉

I do miss seeing Da Woof, but having owned several such special dogs in my lifetime I understand the process. My Apollo is 12 years old now and starting to slow down. We lost his brother Rocky just before the new year. Still the benefits of having a wonderful dog(s) in our lives are well worth the grieving time when we have to say good bye for now. We have a wonderful new buddy named Scruffy. He is a gorgeous and amazing Standard Poodle/Husky mix. I’m going to have a large pack of dogs, some amazing cats, and some sweet birds waiting for me in heaven when my time comes along with friends and family who passed on before me. In the end it really is going home.

Hard part is letting go, especially your youngest. 😢 As far as the bunker goes, I’d make it a storage shed, it would be a solid little shed.

Years ago my husband rebuilt an old 1965 caravan, which had been used at car shows as a spares container. The interior was full of delaminated ply, dexion shelving and spiders. My husband was a joiner, so he was able to rebuild it. Travellers told us that it had been manufactured by a firm who hoped it would replace the bowtops, but this did not happen and only six were made. We took it to country shows and rallied with it. It attracted a lot of attention. Sadly owing to my husband being terminally ill we had to sell it. Friends bought it and rally with it. Best wishes from Susan in UK. I found your sons videos today, and will be following his journey.

I'm sure your loving hubby is happy and proud of your efforts (with his help at times but that is proper). Glad you journeyed with your Son. Hope he's happy and succeeds. Thanks for sharing all the joy! That Survival Bunker could be used as a Walled Garden with raised beds filled with compost - would keep the deer/elk/rabbits out if you put doors on. Even could net the roof to keep birdies off the veggies. Could raise things that are perennials and quick grow veggies?

The snow sliding off the roof took your stove pipe with it. This is why I put my stove pipe on a gable end side. You can build a cricket above the metal roof so the snow will split around the pipe if you want to put it back up again. This summer here in Vermont the deer ticks are out in force as our property has lots of deer and bear that scatter them around. As for the bunker, you might be better off to build a second story over it and use the cement room for storage or a root cellar. This would be perfect for winter storage and Dave's motorcycle.

Wow! Mickey's face is identical to Brooke's! 😳 I've never seen anyone that resembled a parent more. Good work Brooke, obviously you have powerful DNA! 💪🧬😉 Blessings to Mickey taking his plunge into adulthood, he has had the best teachers for it all. Thanks and blessings to you all for sharing! 🙏👏❤❤❤
