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 […]

Touring Northern California
Despite the drastic heat wave that hit us while on the playa (I’ve been assured that 112 degree highs and 95 degree lows is quite abnormal), I really did enjoy my time at Black Rock Desert. It was good to get a feel of desert life, hang out with some really cool people, geek out, […]
The 2 Month Nomadic Review
Yesterday marked two full months of being nomadic with Chris. In some ways, if feels like years.. and in others, if feels like it’s only been days since we left. It’s odd the time perspective shift that happens while out on the road. I’ve been asked by several folks to talk about what it’s like […]
New Mexico & Colorado
One thing I’m noticing about nomadic life, is that the days start to blur together and I really loose track of what day it is. I was relieved last night when I realized it was Thursday, not Friday. So.. last I updated, we were at Lake Meredith in Fritch, TX – which was a spectacular […]
Lake Meredith
Texas is a big state. Even living here for 15 years, I never saw it all. This evening we’re staying over at Lake Meredith National Recreation Area, in the Panhandle – and area I’ve never been to before. We saw it on the map when we were plotting our course to Salida and decided to […]
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. […]
When it Rains.. it Storms
We made it to Austin, but not without an adventure to get here. Driving south towards Texas, we encountered patches of heavy winds and rain in Oklahoma. It cleared up, until we got into the Ft. Worth area. Black skies ahead and radar was showing heavy storms and warnings were issued for strong thunderstorms and […]
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 […]
Travelogue: St. Louis
When last we left our technomadic adventurers, they were heading out of Atlanta towards St. Louis… I’ve never really been to much of the midwest, besides Chicago and Champaign, IL before. And honestly, I really never previously had much of a desire to visit them – hearing less than exciting tales from friends who grew […]
