Our bus will turn 51 years old this September. And we’ve become totally enamored with tracking down her history before she became our Zephyr. We’ve found the GM delivery list and tracked down that she was ordered and in service to Citizen Auto Stage out of Nogales, Arizona. We knew that she was mainly a […]

Ramblings: Tales from Nomads – Porkchop Express
Meet Porkchop and Lucy We were blessed with the very rare opportunity to be part of a couple’s first day on the road as full-timers – and they were kind enough to let us interview them on camera. Porkchop and Lucy were tired of the city they were living in, and were trying to choose […]
A Rare Oliver Travel Trailer – For Sale
As many of you probably already know, we traveled full time from 2008 – 2011 in a very sweet, decked out, 17′ fiberglass egg custom constructed for us by Oliver Travel Trailers. We sold ours last year in an unsolicited offer, which prompted our moving on to a vintage bus. These trailers were made to […]
Fourth of July – Fair St. Louis AirShow & Fireworks
One of the perks of being camped at the Casino Queen RV Park is the incredible location – directly across the Mississippi River from downtown St. Louis and the Arch. Though the RV park is a lot more cramped and crowded than we like (it is little more than a big parking lot), the views […]
Date Night in St. Louis
The heat wave has continued for much of the US, including record breaking heat in St. Louis. We have to admit, we’ve gotten a bit stir crazy sitting in the bus all day trying to keep cool. The drone of the roof top air conditioners alone is enough to be maddening. This is exactly the […]

Push For Heat
Last week was delightfully pleasant in St. Louis and we thought we were doing good with our plan to stay away from extreme temperatures this summer. Imagine our surprise when the forecast started looking like this: 108?!? You’ve got to be kidding us. Sure enough, our digital thermometer (placed in the shade) topped out at […]
And the SerenDIPity Winners are…
Wow, you guys didn’t make this easy on us! We had a dozen entries into our SerenDIPity Challenge Contest that we issued at the beginning of the month, and they’re all worthwhile checking back in on and giving a read. When we decided (on a whim) to do this contest, we thought we’d get a few […]
Finally – a Bus Project for Cats!
Hey everyone… Kiki here! My people keep tackling all these bus projects, but they ignore my list of demands! After a year, I’ve gotten pretty fed up with it. Here’s my list – I think it’s all reasonable, right? Last week, I finally got my own desk! My grandmeow in St. Louis had gotten me […]
Happy 1-Year Busiversary!
Wow. Has it been a year already? One year ago today – after an extensive cross country search by Amtrak train, and 2-days in the roasting hot 120+ degree Arizona sun trying to get her ready for a test drive – we bought Zephyr – our 1961 GM PD-4106 bus conversion. When we found her […]
