RVing Gear that keeps us Hot and Not Bothered

Nov 21, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 32 Comments

As cold temperatures descend upon us, we’ve been working on optimizing our options for heating things up in a variety of conditions. We’re a mostly electric coach, and have spent the past several weeks doing a lot of chilly dry camping as we’ve headed down the Eastern Sierras. With our newly installed solar panels, we’ve been […]

Continuing Down Hwy 395 – Mammoth Lakes and Bishop

Nov 16, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 12 Comments

We left Washoe Lake State Park, with Paul and Nina in the lead to scout out ahead of us some options they hadn’t been to before for our next stop down Highway 395. We got a text message from them along the way that simply said ‘How about a sunset hot spring soak?’ Like, who’s […]

To the Desert – Washoe Lake State Park

Nov 13, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 2 Comments

Last Tuesday, Chris picked me up at the Reno airport after my solo trip to Florida and whisked me away to our new location. I gotta say, this flying home to a new location than I left from is a bit jarring to the senses.  When I left, we were parked in humid and rainy […]

Zephyr is Solar Powered! – 800 Watt RV Bus Roof Solar Install

Nov 11, 2014 by Chris Dunphy 119 Comments

For those of you who have been paying close attention, you might have seen a little extra something perched on our roof in the last few photos we’ve shared online. Or you may have noticed that Cherie teased about leaving me behind visiting friends at AM Solar while she headed off to visit her mom in […]

A Special Solo Trip: Commisioning of the USS Tim VeArd

Nov 7, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 27 Comments

It’s very rare that Chris and I travel independently these days. But once we got to Eugene our paths would diverge for a few days. You may recall that my father’s submarine veterans organization honored him by naming the 23′ model submarine (caution, that post may cause tears) they were building as a parade float after him. […]

Quick Catch Up: Portland & Eugene

Nov 5, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 6 Comments

Whew. The past couple of weeks have been crazy busy for us – lots going on, lots of new friends, lots of adventure – including some solo trips for each of us and some new awesome upgrades to the bus. But before we get to the really fun stuff, we need to catch up on […]

The Final Two: Cape Meares and Tillamook Rock Lighthouses

Oct 29, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 17 Comments

Whew, what a week it’s been. We’ve been super busy visiting friends in Portland and keeping up with some major news on the the RV Mobile Internet Resource Center. If you haven’t heard yet, Verizon started making first contact with (soon to be former) Millenicom customers on Monday. We’ve been tracking it non-stop at the […]

Next Up the Oregon Coast: The Yaquina Lighthouses & Newport

Oct 24, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 5 Comments

Yet another delightful stay along the Oregon coast near Yachats came to an end. With the turn in weather causing more rainy and cloudy days than not – it was time to move on up the coast for our next stop. The next lighthouses are two right by each other – Yaquina Bay Lighthouse and Yaquina […]

Next up the Oregon Coast: Heceta Head Lighthouse & Yachats

Oct 22, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 10 Comments

We had such a delightful stay at Winchester Bay, that it was tempting to stay around longer. But we were also looking forward to the next stop up the coast – exploring the Yachats area, and touring Heceta Head Lighthouse. So we pulled out of Salmon Harbor Marina and headed up with coast, with a […]

October Mobile Internet Cellular Shake-Up

Oct 20, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 27 Comments

We just released our The Mobile Internet Handbook a couple months ago, and as crazy as the technology industry is – there are already some pretty major announcements that impact content in the book. And that’s exactly why we launched the RV Mobile Internet Resource Center and our new premium membership service, Mobile Internet Aficionados – as compliments to the […]
