It is looking pretty certain that by this time tomorrow, we will have placed an order for a custom-built Oliver Travel Trailer. We’ve considered a lot of alternatives, and it really feels like this is the best choice for our next home. Here are my thoughts on the other options we’ve considered: Stop Nomading: I […]
Oliver – Wow!
The Oliver factory put us in touch with a couple over in Clearwater that had a trailer we could look at, and we drove over this afternoon to meet Paul and Sherry and to hang out in their Oliver. Wow. First off – their hospitality was amazing. We didn’t expect so much cold beer and […]
The Most Expensive RV Ever
This one is a bit bigger than the Oliver we are considering, but it does have a few nice perks. The marble floors and hideaway plasma TV are just the start. Be sure to watch until the end, and check out what is stored in the basement. Now that would be handy! 🙂
Technomadia v2 – in an Oliver Trailer???
Cherie and I were amazingly compatible living together in my 16′ clamshell Tab for seven months last summer, but we have on occasion craved a bit more space. Now that we are ramping up to hit the road again soon, it is time to consider – should we upgrade to a larger house?? Our clamshell […]
Have Fun Out There!
As I posted about a few weeks ago, Jeep bought twenty-two photos from Cherie and I for its “Have Fun Out There” advertising campaign. It looks like they ended up using thirteen of them. Can you find them? (Click here for the answers…) This mosaic ran as a huge two-page spread today in USA Today, […]
The True Spirit of Jeep / Have Fun Out There!
A few weeks ago I was contacted via Flickr mail by Jeep’s PR agency: You have some great shots! I especially love the ones of your Tab and Burning Man! I sent you an email a little while ago about using some of your photos in a Jeep ad. You’re photos have a great feel […]
Introducing Jeep v2… (Diesel!)
The universe lined up the perfect Jeep for us – right when and where we needed it. Who am I to say no? Introducing our new 2006 Diesel Jeep Liberty CRD, Jeep v2 (VeeTwo?): We spent a long sweaty day in the hot Texas sun yesterday moving EVERYTHING from Jeep v1 to v2. We had […]
Amazing $13k tires increase fuel economy by 50%!!!
Jeep needs four new shoes. And though I had planned on waiting until California to buy them for her, the spinout and unrepairable flat from last week have accelerated the timetable dramatically. She also needs an alignment, and an oil change. And likely soon a new battery, and some repair work on the battery cable. […]
Stirred, not Shaken…
Thursday started with a bang… We had spent the night in Walnut Creek State Park, near Tulsa, OK. Our spot was perfect, right on the shore of Keystone Lake. It was a truly beautiful place. We awoke to nature putting on a show for us – with thunder and lightening starting our day. Fortunately our […]
