42 Days ago we bought our GM 4106 bus and moved in. We took the photo on the left after a quick clean up. We just took the photo on the right after a lot of renovations we’ve accomplished so far! (And that’s just in this area of the bus!) How many of the differences […]

Roasting and Remodeling
What are you still doing in Arizona??? We arrived in Arizona nearly 6 weeks ago.

A Vintage Bus?!?
It’s no secret that we are in the midst of a cross country hunt for a converted vintage bus to make our next technomadic home. But… why? Why a bus? Why not a more traditional RV? And why vintage? Why on earth would we consider buying a vehicle potentially older than we are? How did […]
