I looked at the calendar this morning and realized that September is almost over, and I haven’t posted much at all about our travels since Burning Man. So, here goes… On our way back from Reno, we stopped in Sacramento at Lindsay and Sean’s for a couple of days to get things washed and repacked. […]

Have Fun Out There!
As I posted about a few weeks ago, Jeep bought twenty-two photos from Cherie and I for its “Have Fun Out There” advertising campaign. It looks like they ended up using thirteen of them. Can you find them? (Click here for the answers…) This mosaic ran as a huge two-page spread today in USA Today, […]
The True Spirit of Jeep / Have Fun Out There!
A few weeks ago I was contacted via Flickr mail by Jeep’s PR agency: You have some great shots! I especially love the ones of your Tab and Burning Man! I sent you an email a little while ago about using some of your photos in a Jeep ad. You’re photos have a great feel […]
Touring Northern California
Despite the drastic heat wave that hit us while on the playa (I’ve been assured that 112 degree highs and 95 degree lows is quite abnormal), I really did enjoy my time at Black Rock Desert. It was good to get a feel of desert life, hang out with some really cool people, geek out, […]
The 2 Month Nomadic Review
Yesterday marked two full months of being nomadic with Chris. In some ways, if feels like years.. and in others, if feels like it’s only been days since we left. It’s odd the time perspective shift that happens while out on the road. I’ve been asked by several folks to talk about what it’s like […]
New Mexico & Colorado
One thing I’m noticing about nomadic life, is that the days start to blur together and I really loose track of what day it is. I was relieved last night when I realized it was Thursday, not Friday. So.. last I updated, we were at Lake Meredith in Fritch, TX – which was a spectacular […]
Lake Meredith
Texas is a big state. Even living here for 15 years, I never saw it all. This evening we’re staying over at Lake Meredith National Recreation Area, in the Panhandle – and area I’ve never been to before. We saw it on the map when we were plotting our course to Salida and decided to […]
Introducing Jeep v2… (Diesel!)
The universe lined up the perfect Jeep for us – right when and where we needed it. Who am I to say no? Introducing our new 2006 Diesel Jeep Liberty CRD, Jeep v2 (VeeTwo?): We spent a long sweaty day in the hot Texas sun yesterday moving EVERYTHING from Jeep v1 to v2. We had […]
Amazing $13k tires increase fuel economy by 50%!!!
Jeep needs four new shoes. And though I had planned on waiting until California to buy them for her, the spinout and unrepairable flat from last week have accelerated the timetable dramatically. She also needs an alignment, and an oil change. And likely soon a new battery, and some repair work on the battery cable. […]
When it Rains.. it Storms
We made it to Austin, but not without an adventure to get here. Driving south towards Texas, we encountered patches of heavy winds and rain in Oklahoma. It cleared up, until we got into the Ft. Worth area. Black skies ahead and radar was showing heavy storms and warnings were issued for strong thunderstorms and […]
