Thanks that means a lot. We are having a lot of fun. We are not use to Oregon rain, the living quarters have been sweeting moisture so we have been chasing the aftermath. Being a Hummer off-road guide in Durango, CO and spending most of my play time in Moab, Ut. Oregon weather has humbled us...

We are getting back on our feet. Alisa my wife caught what the kids had but it never became bad enough to need hospitalization. Without medical care it’s taken a month for her to resolve the illness completely. Kids are100% back, and ready to go. I’ve been keeping busy fixing multiple issues on...

Thanks for your support. Sorry I haven’t given a update we were overwhelmed with the two kids in the hospital and our 5 yr old being in critical condition for two of the days. We are happy to report that both kids are doing remarkable better and have been discharged from the hospital. We are...

After getting four hours of sleep I wake up to find out that my son has also been admitted to hospital in ICU in critical condition. He having the same asthma issue but worse than Alayah. So now we have two on the same floor, it's going to be a tough week.��

Thanks a lot. Great call on this site. I found a cool looking 10amp also.

Thanks a lot. We thought by hiding on the Oregon Coast this summer missing the fires in Montana and central Oregon we would spare Alayah a asthma hospital visits. She caught a cold yesterday which in turn triggered the attack. It's always scary when she can't normalize her self with asthma...

While waiting for our new alternator at Cummings Northwest we were woken up (Sept,28 3am) by our 13yr old's labored breathing. We tried albuteral spray to clear her lungs so she could breathe with no apparent success. So it was time to do a emergency pack up and head to the nearest hospital. Her...

Getting Crab For Dinner The staff at Bastendorf Park campground suggested that we go to Sunset Bay State Park Beach to get dinner. Now what they were referring to was for us to hike along the shore and get some Dungeons and Red Rock crab. Crab in Montana is hard to come by demanding a high...

Spooked Into Moving While having a great experience camping Bastendorf Beach we started bumping into people telling us that overnighting this beach was dangerous. Not being from here and not quite knowing what the story was we decided to camp nearby at a county campground overlooking the very...

Bastendorf Beach As soon as we pulled into North Bend hitting Walmart for supplies it was quickly decided to head to the beach via Cape Arago Hwy along the inlet bay to Charleston, Oregon. Charleston is a small harbor town just a mile from the Coosbay jetty inlet, the town offering several...

Base Camp Leaving Siltcoos, Florence, and Dunes City we headed south with the end destination being North Bend and Coosbay, Oregon. We planned to use these sister cities as our summer base camp while we explore up and down the Oregon Coast. Every time you drive into a town in the Tiny House...

Sunsets Sunsets Sunsets Living in Colorado, Wyoming, Nevada, and Montana where I have spent the last twenty five years of my life I have viewed many mountainous sunsets. After awhile the sunsets start to come and go until you don’t even stop to think about them as they pass. Oregon ocean...

Traveling throughout Oregon is a story of interesting paradoxes for us people not aquatinted with how the local Oregon population lives with their truly unique outdoor environment. Within short distances you can go from a high desert to wet lush forest breaking out into dunes that finish onto...

Clackamas Whitewater Kayak River Rescue After hanging out with the outdoor crowd on Mt. Hood I was itching to go whitewater kayaking so we turned our "Tiny House On A Steel Soldier" towards the Clackamas River hoping to find some like minded people to paddle with. The Clackamas River festival...

I have decided to add a story that is slightly out of order that occurred the day after we left Mt. Hood. I omitted the story not feeling that this was the appropriate forum for the retell. I'm reconsidering telling of the events because a lot of us here on SteelSoldiers.com are starting to feel...

Thank you Karl, I wasn’t sure if I would find a audience at steelsoldier.com. Thank you for taking the time to stop by to give us your approval of the adventure. I felt that the only readers that would truly appreciate the hardship, risk, and achievement of our full time expedition across...

Thats a good idea, I'll start looking into that.

Alternator Failure Monday September 25, 2017 The day after camping at Picaflores (I will talk about this place in a future post)on the McKenzie river near the small community of Holiday, Oregon. I noticed a snapping sound coming from the Fan Clutch area, upon closer inspection I noticed my fan...

After miles of beach with the ocean surf occasionally sweeping into the Michelins, we pulled up onto a dune to enjoying dinner. The truck had shown its true colors, giving us a million dollar view while we ate our supper like kings. The air was cool and crisp hinting of the show we were about to...
