[wp_campaign_2] This guide has been updated for 2010! Check it out! We don’t normally pre-plan our routes in advance so finding a place to set up camp—whether it be just for a night, a few days or several weeks—is something we do on the fly. While many campgrounds take reservations far in advance, we just […]
Life on the Road
Thrilling Changes!
One itch that being nomadic scratches is my seeming need for new experiences, new surroundings and a change of pace. This past week, our Jeep which is our tow vehicle, has been in the shop having transmission issues resolved. Taking away our option to move our house creates an interesting feeling that we’ve not felt […]
Never having to pack
One of the advantages of traveling with your house, is that you generally never have to pack. Most full time RVers have painstakingly considered every single item they travel with for its use, space and functionality. Everything they think they could need is quite literally within an arm’s reach. When packing for a vacation or […]
Travelogue: Burning Man to Hemet, CA
Time Period: September 6 – October 24 Miles Driven: 1179 (not including non-RV trips) Post Burning Man we only had one specific goal – to make it to Hemet, CA for much needed down time. We had met some folks in the area during our travels earlier in the year that we only had the […]
Temporary Neighbors, Not Guests
Some people travel primarily to spend time visiting cool places. And we absolutely do love finding amazing campgrounds, quirky small towns, wonderful boondocking spots, stealth city camping, incredible scenic overlooks, and the thrill of visiting National Parks. But much of our nomadic lifestyle is motivated less by visiting cool places, and more by visiting cool […]

Connected at Burning Man
If you looked hard enough, for years now there have been options for communicating with the outside world at Burning Man via internet or satellite phone. (Not to mention via the exaggeratedly disgruntled Black Rock City Post Office…) For as long as 802.11 has existed, some geeks have enjoyed the challenge of building a public […]
Jeep Brain Madness
Yesterday we stopped for lunch in Susanville, CA on our way towards Sacramento. When we started off again, our 2006 Jeep Liberty CRD began acting weird. Every few minutes there would be a ding, and the ESP/BAS, traction control, and ABS yellow error lights on the dash would turn on. Within an instant, they would […]
Camp Nomadia at Burning Man 2009
In 2008, Chris and I decided to host a Burning Man theme camp for other nomadic folks like ourselves. We applied for official placement with Burning Man, and got it. We manage to gather around 25 folks to camp with us, most of them aspiring nomads, though not many others were living full-time on the […]
Travelogue: St. Louis to Burning Man
