Video Edition: Cathedral of Junk
Even though I grew up in Austin, I moved away before I was old enough to really appreciate the level of weirdness the city embodies. So this visit to Austin, we took opportunities to explore some of the awesome places we had only heard about. This past weekend while hanging out with our new friends, and [...]

Saturday, March 27, 2010
Time Frame: March 7 – 21, 2010 Miles Driven: 1229 After an extended stay in Florida catching up with family and friends, checking out sail boats and making new friends – we decided to head on to Austin to be in the area while SXSW Interactive was going on.

Saturday, February 20, 2010
Time frame: January 20 – February 20, 2010 Miles Driven: 1776 After an extended month long winter and holiday stop in St. Louis visiting Chris’ family, it was time to head south for the remainder of the winter. Cherie previously lived in Florida for 12 years before we hit the road, and that’s where her parents and [...]
Continue reading...The Miami International Boat Show
Thursday, February 18, 2010
As planned, we spent Saturday and Sunday this past weekend at the Miami International Boat Show and the co-located sailing focused Strictly Sail Miami. Though these events have traditionally been very distinct, the no-longer-appropriately-named “Strictly Sail” has unfortunately now been devoured by the vastly larger powerboat focused Miami International Boat Show. To our disappointment, there were [...]

Monday, February 8, 2010
Since Saturday afternoon, we’ve been camped along the Indian River in Titusville, Florida – right off Highway US 1. We’ve been enjoying a completely awesome nomadic rendezvous with Sean Welsh and Louise Hornor of Our Odyssey as temporary neighbors (it’s our first in person meeting after years of cyber stalking each other around the country.) We’ll [...]
Continue reading...The St. Louis RV Vacation & Travel Show
Wednesday, January 27, 2010
Things we saw last week at the St. Louis RV Vacation & Travel Show: Fake Fireplaces, Giant TV's, Mobile Man Caves, Central Vacuum Systems Things we didn't see any of: Solar Panels, Energy Efficient Lighting, Composting Toilets, Camper Vans Though we have been full time RV dwellers for years now, neither of us had ever been to an actual RV show. When we saw that "one of the largest public RV shows in the country" would be happening last week while we were still in St. Louis, we knew that we would have to check it out. We were hoping to get exposed to variety of RVs of different sizes and styles, and to check out a wide range of the latest products and technologies for mobile living. Overall, we were sorely disappointed. There were however plenty of monster fifth wheels and Class-A RVs on display with a focus on ostentatious excess instead of efficient mobile living. One brand was using the tagline "Leave Nothing Behind" - and that was indeed a design philosophy on display at the show.

Monday, November 23, 2009
Some people have a calling, a message they must deliver to the world. Most never act on this. But a rare few are overcome with purpose, and devote their lives to the call. Artist Leonard Knight heard such a call (“to my knowledge, it was on a Wednesday, about ten-thirty in the morning in 1967″), and has dedicated [...]

Saturday, October 24, 2009
Time Period: September 6 – October 24 Miles Driven: 1179 (not including non-RV trips) Post Burning Man we only had one specific goal – to make it to Hemet, CA for much needed down time. We had met some folks in the area during our travels earlier in the year that we only had the opportunity to visit [...]

Tuesday, September 15, 2009
If you looked hard enough, for years now there have been options for communicating with the outside world at Burning Man via internet or satellite phone. (Not to mention via the exaggeratedly disgruntled Black Rock City Post Office…) For as long as 802.11 has existed, some geeks have enjoyed the challenge of building a [...]

Wednesday, September 9, 2009
In 2008, Chris and I decided to host a Burning Man theme camp for other nomadic folks like ourselves. We applied for official placement with Burning Man, and got it. We manage to gather around 25 folks to camp with us, most of them aspiring nomads, though not many others were living full-time on the road [...]
