Wow. Has it been a year already? One year ago today – after an extensive cross country search by Amtrak train, and 2-days in the roasting hot 120+ degree Arizona sun trying to get her ready for a test drive – we bought Zephyr – our 1961 GM PD-4106 bus conversion. When we found her […]

Surprise! We’re in St. Louis!
I haven’t mentioned the primary reason I am thankful that our stay in Austin got extended. The Roller Coaster Ride No, this part isn’t about some awesome amusement park we went to. If you’ve been following along this year, than you probably already know that ‘something’ was up with my dad’s health at the beginning […]

Austin – Oh, How We Love You!
If I had to claim anywhere as my hometown, I’d have to go with Austin. I lived here from the time I was 4 until I moved out on my own at 19. Unfortunately, at age 19 I was not yet cool enough to realize just how unique of a city Austin is. I’m blessed […]
Welcome to the Flipside!
It’s getting more and more difficult to get into Burning Man events these days.. especially the popular ones with capacity limitations.

Overall, we love the spirit, and love connecting with the […]
Light Painting – Amazing Artistic Photography
It’s been just over 4 years now since we met fellow technomad Ben Willmore. We initially connected online with Ben because we are fellow full time RVers working as we roam, in fact – he was likely the first nomadic peer we encountered. We had not heard of him before, but soon realized we were […]
