Our hosts in Lake Havasu City, AZ – Lisa Hewus and her awesome family, proposed taking us to a unique bar in the middle of the desert after hearing about our interests in Burning Man. It’s called Nellie E Saloon (or just simply ‘The Desert Bar’ to the locals), which is about 5 miles down […]

Video Edition: London Bridge
London Bridge is Falling Down!
It fell down, and was purchased by the founders of Lake Havasu City – where it now stands today.
While in the area, we stopped in to see the reassembled London Bridge in a place we did not expect, on the banks of the Colorado River in Arizona.
Video Edition: Buckskin Mountain Jeep Trail
When our fellow Jeep & Oliver Travel Trailer owner hosts in Lake Havasu City suggested we might enjoy The Desert Bar – a remote grill and bar literally in the middle of nowhere outside Parker, AZ – they further suggested that we should take our 4×4 Jeeps the backway down a moderately rated off highway […]
Video Edition: Joshua Tree National Park
Our last stop on our spring 2009 exodus from California was at Joshua Tree National Park, a place we both had heard lots about but had never been. It’s about 140 miles east of Los Angeles, and sits in the transition zone between the Colorado and Mohave deserts. We saw lots of wild flowers and […]
Getting Rid of All Your Stuff to Travel Full Time – Excuse #3
We’re conditioned in our society to acquire stuff. Our culture and economy often seems to revolve around this quest. And no matter how large a space we have, we can easily fill that space with stuff. It seems to be a universal law – the amount of “stuff” you have expands to fill all available […]
Video Edition: Hemet, California
We had such a lovely visit to Hemet, CA at the invitation of our hosts. They showed us a bit of the city itself and some of its highlights. Hemet went through a suburban boom over the past couple of decades, and driving in it looked like any typical suburban center complete with all the […]
Campground Review: Cottonwood @ Joshua Tree National Park
Passing through Joshua Tree National Park, we spent the night at the Cottonwood Campground near the park’s south entrance. This is the closest campground inside Joshua Tree to Interstate 10. There are no hookups at Cottonwood, but there are nice flush toilets, and an RV dump station is available. All of the sites are spread […]
The Road Ahead: New Mexico, Texas, and Beyond…
We are currently planning to spend one more night here at the Grand Canyon. Then, onward towards New Mexico, Texas, and beyond…
Technomadic Convergence with Ben Willmore
During our visit to Hemet, California we had a nomadic rendezvous with fellow technomad Ben Willmore. Ben, like us, gave up his physical home and has been traveling around full time for over 3 years now in a customized 40ft motor coach. He’s an expert photographer and Photoshop wizard, and he funds his nomadic lifestyle by giving seminars, writing books, and conducting training expeditions.
We thought it’s be interesting to talk with him about his approach to technomadism and compare notes:
Talking with Locals: Hiking in Hemet
If you get east of the hustle and bustle of the greater Los Angeles area of Southern California, you’ll find yourself in some pristine mountain hiking areas. One such area is just south of Hemet, California. Sean Mahoney, a serious hiker and local resident, talked to us a bit about some of the hiking trails […]
