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!)
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
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 […]
Tried & True RVing Travel Gear We Love
Have we mentioned that we use a lot of technology to enable our travels, and that we love gizmos? We try a lot of stuff. Some of it gets repurposed pretty quickly, but some things have stuck around. Here’s some of the stuff that has made the cut to continue traveling with us: Our Mobile […]
The Sunrise Coast: Harrisville, Michigan
After all of our packages arrived to Tawas, we were ready to start our northward trek up the Sunrise Coast to our next stop – Harrisville State Park (our review). We were surprised to even snag a site over a weekend at a state park, and by looking at pictures online on the Michigan State Park reservation system – it looked […]
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Distant WiFi: FlagPole Buddy & Ubiquiti NanoStation
When it comes to getting online, very often nothing beats a little altitude. We’ve long loved the WiFiRanger Sky on the roof of our bus – it has worked wonders in many campgrounds allowing us to surf away happily via WiFi at distances substantially further than we could ever reach without it. But if a […]
The Sunrise Coast: Tawas, Michigan
Who would have ever thought that night owls like us would end up touring Michigan’s ‘Sunrise’ coast? Only serendipity could make such an unlikely combination converge … with a little prodding from good friends. Earlier this spring, we really thought we’d be spending our summer slowly working our way westward towards Oregon via perhaps Colorado […]
Mobile Income Sources for RVers, Cruisers & Nomads: Jobs, Careers, Entrepreneurship and Workamping
Many people have dreams of long term travel, something that is more than the typical 1-2 week vacation a couple times a year (or every couple of years!). They crave a slower pace to more fully immerse themselves in different cultures and experiences. More opportunity to enjoy quality time with far flung friends and family. […]
Fort Sleepy – Decompressing in Central Michigan
After a hectic few weeks in Elkhart and attending the Fleetwood GLAMARAMA Rally in Goshen, IN – we were in serious need of some alone time. Researching and writing a book really requires finding a unique balance of undisrupted solitude, but quick distractions nearby for breaks. Our next major destination would be East Tawas, Michigan […]
Quick RVing Tip: Toad Light Check
A few weeks ago, our friend Chris Guld let me know that the first time they met us a year ago she was inspired by watching us check our toad’s lights. Usually we like inspiring folks for less mundane things, but we’ll go with it. She liked our system so much, that she and Jim […]
