Crossing the Continental Divide

Aug 18, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 11 Comments

After a clean bill of health on Zephyr’s engine rebuild in Billings, we headed westward. We weren’t quite sure yet if we were taking the north or south route into Oregon, and had been coordinating with our friend’s Forrest & Mary to rendezvous after their time up in Glacier National Park. Bozeman would be our […]

Congratulations – It’s a Book: The Mobile Internet Handbook for 2014

Aug 14, 2014 by Technomadia 13 Comments

We are super pleased to announce that we have just wrapped up writing the The Mobile Internet Handbook – 2014 US RVers Edition. It’s such a huge expansion over the original 2013 edition that it is actually more of an almanac now!  The new version is 186 pages.. the first edition was just 87. In thanks to those who funded […]

From Nature to Asphalt

Aug 11, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 22 Comments

Ahh.. what a difference changing up the pace makes! We ended up staying four nights at Lake Sakakawea State Park in North Dakota, and then moved on to Theodore Roosevelt National Park for another four nights.  It was just what we needed to reset ourselves after several driving days. Theodore Roosevelt National Park We arrived […]

Or RV & Boat Mobile Internet Setup – How We Keep Online & Connected

Aug 6, 2014 by Technomadia 115 Comments

Reliable mobile internet has been absolutely essential for us in our RV and cruising travels, constantly seeking out the current best options to keep abundantly online while we explore our wanderlust and work remotely. When we hit the road in 2006 in a super tiny travel trailer, we were in our early 30s and working […]

Zoom Zoom…. Kerplop

Aug 1, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 15 Comments

Go slow. There’s no hurry. Drive no more than 200 miles then stay no less than 2 nights. We hold these truths of RVing to be self evident. But yet we still try to push our limits sometimes. After a month long slow roll through northern Michigan balancing exploring new gorgeous areas and writing The […]

Cracking the Nut in the UP (Casino Camping!)

Jul 27, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 11 Comments

After our marathon writing in St. Ignace, we got a good night’s sleep and left to head northward to catch back up with our buddies Nikki & Jason. They had been exploring some of the UP on their own, and we had coordinated a couple of potential meet up spots depending upon when we got […]

Trolls, Yoopers and Ducklings

Jul 24, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 42 Comments

Coming up the western coast of Michigan is Nikki & Jason of Gone with the Wynns.. and up the east coast, Chris & Cherie of Technomadia. Which dynamic RV blogging duo would cross the Mackinac Bridge first, leaving the trolls (what lower Michiganders are called) behind in the rear view camera and being welcomed by Yoopers (what Upper Peninsula […]

Completing the Sunrise Coast: Roger’s City & Cheboygan, Michigan

Jul 22, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 5 Comments

After such a wonderful time in Alpena, we were a bit hesitant to move on up the coast – but adventures call. And it’s always better to leave a location wanting more than to leave it feeling like you’re ready to move on. Hoeft State Park – Roger’s City Our next stop would be Hoeft […]

Working 9 to 5 (So instead – Links to helpful posts!)

Jul 18, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 2 Comments

That’s 9a – 5a, by the way. We’re working around the clock, quite literally, on the re-write of The Mobile Internet Handbook. When we’re working on a project as intense as this together, we work in shifts. Cherie gets to work around 9am and works into the early afternoon. Chris gets up, and we get […]

The Sunrise Coast: Alpena, Michigan

Jul 14, 2014 by Cherie Ve Ard 13 Comments

One of the challenges of life on the road is finding a somewhat peaceful spot over holidays. Popular camping locations are usually booked up far in advance, which is fine by us – we generally prefer avoiding crowded campgrounds and parties. We looked ahead on Highway 23, did some research into campgrounds around – and […]
