I love the look on people’s faces when I tell them I’ve not shampooed my hair in nearly 2 years now. I think the image that conjurs up is unruly matted dreads, which is not how my naturally curly red hair looks. And actually, my hair has never been healthier and more manageable than since […]

Propane Powered Generator – Honda EU2000i + Propane Conversion Kit
Though we normally rely on our 200 watt solar system for power, one of the essentials in our technomadic toolbox is our small Honda EU2000 generator that has been modified to run off of propane. [wp_campaign_3] We rely on this generator to top off our batteries when the solar is not able to keep up due […]
Campground Review: Erbie Campground @ Buffalo National River, Arkansas
After our stay at Hot Spring National Park, we headed north following the beautifully scenic highway 7 through the Ozarks. Once the sun set though, the road wasn’t nearly so scenic. We saw a road sign indicating a campground in the woods off to our left, so we headed down a dark dirt road in […]
Campground Review: Meriwether Lewis Park (near Hohenwald, TN)
We journeyed to Hohenwald Tennessee in May to visit the Oliver Factory to handle a few issues with our trailer. Afterwards, we wanted to find a nice place to camp where we could put down roots for an entire week to get caught up on projects and just spend some time enjoying being at home. […]
Travel Full Time with Your Pets – Excuse #6
I’m a cat person, and always have been. When Chris and I set out for our first seven month trial run of traveling together in 2007, we decided that my cat Alma was not meant to be a traveling cat. Alma never enjoyed car trips (or Hurricane evacuations!), and it just didn’t seem right to […]
Camera Upgrade: Canon PowerShot SD780IS
The camera that takes the best pictures is one that is always with you. I tend to have rather large pockets, so I’ve been happy carrying larger cameras like the awesome and affordable Canon Powershot SX110IS, or the pro-caliber Canon PowerShot G9 that we have been experimenting with lately. Both of these fit into a […]
Video Edition: Hot Springs National Park
I love when nomadic serendipity takes us to experiences that we couldn’t even imagine a day prior. While driving northward towards St. Louis, we decided to route through Arkansas up scenic byway 7. This put us overnighting around Hot Springs, Arkansas. We looked around, and discovered there was a national park and campground, so that […]
3 Benefits of Living in a Small Space
A very common question we’re asked is if we ever wish we had selected a larger living space. Our quick answer is, no – our space is perfect and well considered for our needs. At only 80 square feet of living space, our Oliver Travel Trailer is a lot smaller than most folks consider […]
Leave the Pets at Home?!?
Chris and Cherie have recently been attending these really cool sounding festivals. They’ve gotten to take *our* house to remote locations and climb on wooden structures, burn things up, meet awesome sounding people and show off our nomadic lifestyle. All of these events have a ‘Leave the pets at home’ rule… which seems totally discriminatory […]
Cameras for Sale!
In our travels, we try out a lot of tech. We’re also always refreshing our tech, and we end up with great tech that we need to dispose of. Of course we can sell it on Amazon or eBay – but we’d much rather sell to friends and followers. It virtually eliminates the chances of […]
