Wood Carving
I’m making revisions to the site based on the changes that happened in my life the last 11 weeks. In the days to come, I will open an online store for balsam fir, maple, and oak crosses, as well as other carvings.
Tent Camping
My 8-yo Great Pyrenees and I tell stories and share lessons about tent camping deep in the woods of Marquette County in Upper Michigan. We have so much to share about this experience and as I have time to get to WiFi and electricity, I’m updating the site to reflect changes in my way of life.
Fiction Writing
I have written three full-length draft novels, the WIP is about four teenage boys who build a treehouse in the woods of their now-closed USAF base in 1977, and they unwittingly build it close to the secret hideaway of a Soviet spy. The book is called The Voodoo Hill Explorer Club based on this street sign and Voodoo Hill, the one-way in and out of base housing in the long snowy winters of the UP.

Fall's Here in the UP of Michigan while Tent Camping & Prepping for a Log Cabin Build
Fall is bringing change to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan as my Great Pyrenees and I complete our 12th week of tent camping on family land near Marquette.
We take you through a day in the life, from getting up "before the sun wakes up," to which are 5 great locations in town for creators to load their projects, to dealing with bloody cuts, and ways to stop massive bleeding. We're talking about BleedStop, and other first aid products.
I've found a bucket with Roundneck Sexton Beetles, various species of trees, and plants like the red raspberry, the interrupted fern, and the purple-flowered raspberry.
My wood carving business of making Christian crosses and ornaments of wood is near launching on DonaldJClaxton.com. I also receive a viewer gift from my Amazon wish list.
And to have fun, the music used during the section on cutting my hand open, and at the end is "Leave it to the Professionals," by Arthur Benson on Epidemic Sound (Thanks @hannahleeduggan )
As requested in the video, please like and subscribe to my channel here on YouTube.
I also post regular updates on Medium.com/@donaldJClaxton. For a mere $5 a month, you can follow this link to support my work there, too. https://donaldjclaxton.medium.com/membership.

County Road 510 Marquette, MI Sept. 16, 2022, Did I mention the bear crossing the road?
See how the trees are and are not changing so far this season in Upper Michigan near Marquette. Oh, yeah, and this morning, I caught video of a bear crossing the road at the south side of the “new” 510 bridge.

Testimonial from Former Dallas Superintendent Dr. Mike Moses
Jan. 15, 2004, a Dallas middle-school student stabs another seven times right after school.
With Donald J. Claxton immediately assuring the public and parents of the school via local news, only seven of 1,200 students did not attend the next day. Even with the murderer still on the loose. Six, when counting the murdered student.
“Job well done. There is no way we could have seen positive news. The best we could hope for is fair and balanced. You did all you could to ensure that.
“Your work with the media was very good….”
Dr. Mike Moses
Former Dallas Independent School District Superintendent
Testimonial from Former Alabama Gov. Fob James
“It’s been quite a trip—Many thanks for your good work on many occasions.”
