New Views on Cape Blanco

Sep 20, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 38 Comments

Shortly before arriving back to Cape Blanco, my Canon S100 that has been my trusty camera sharing a view of our world with you – went kaput. I was tempted to go with the current model in the same line as my S100, but I just simply never utilized all of the manual settings that the camera is […]

Ironically, the […]

Sep 9, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 27 Comments

So, I promised I would write about how we found our awesome wild camping location along Magic Reservoir in Idaho a few weeks ago.

There are several styles […]

Arrived! Back at Cape Blanco!!

Sep 1, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 20 Comments

We’ve been in motion since last March when we left Florida with this one single destination on our itinerary – Cape Blanco Lighthouse in Oregon.

Technomadia’s RV Solar Challenge

Aug 22, 2014 by Chris Dunphy 51 Comments

I have been a fan of solar power as long as I have been living on the road. One of the first projects I tackled when I first became nomadic way back in 2006 was adding 130W of solar to the back of my tiny Tab Clamshell. I think it was my abundance of sexy solar […]
