Last weekend we attended the Arcadia Bus Rally – one of the longest running bus rallies in the country, and certainly one of the largest on the east coast. There were far more buses here than at the BCM Rally we attended back in October in Chattanooga, and much more variety. It was so much […]
Our Travels
Our 2011 Travel Route
Every year since we hit the road together, I’ve hand created a year end routing map – it’s such a fun way to reflect on the year’s adventures. Our past maps : 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 2011 was a year of a lot of changes for us, and trying to illustrate that on a map was quite […]
Our Month Still – Melbourne, FL
Wow.. where did the month go? It seems like we just pulled in to Melbourne, Florida for our long anticipated still time. Oh wait, I remember – we’ve been keeping busy! Last April we parked in this very location at Wickham Park in Melbourne when we got the unsolicited offer to sell our Oliver Travel […]
Florida Bound & an ‘Open Bus’ Invitation
After a brutally hot summer in Arizona getting the bus ready, we’re definitely following the good weather this winter. We are headed to Florida to spend the holidays with family! It’s not often that we actually have plans more than a day or two out, but Florida is a difficult place to winter in an […]
Our First Bus Rally
Whew, what a few hectic weeks it’s been. Too Rushed We’re often asked about our pace of travel – and for the record – these past couple weeks are not indicative of our preferred style. In our ideal world, we’d travel a couple hundred miles and stick around for a few weeks or more before […]
Up Up and Away!
It’s only been a few days since we left St. George with intentions of heading eastward through Colorado. I write this from Amarillo, TX. Which you might notice was NOT on our intended route. So what happened? A Lot of Air Pressure Leaks As we were leaving Lake Powell, we heard a sudden WOOOSH of […]
So We Meet Again..
I’ve often wrote about community while on the road, and how I’ve had to adjust my expectations of it in order to appreciate the variability that happens while traveling full time. One of the greatest blessings has been connecting with other full time travelers that we get to rendezvous with in all sorts of locations. […]
Resorting to Indulgence
For past several years of RVing around the USA, we generally steered away from staying at RV Resorts and commercial campgrounds. We instead favored boondocking, public campgrounds and staying with friends. In our first year traveling in our small 16′ T@B travel trailer, we only paid for camping a few nights in total. And in […]
Rites of Passage
We left Burning Man in 2010 for the first time without a plan one way or the other if we would be attending in 2011. We left that decision up to serendipity. But we did know one thing – if we attended, we wanted a year off of hosting our theme camp, Camp Nomadia, and […]
Inverted Intentions
Two weeks ago we finally escaped the intense Arizona desert heat in Lake Havasu City, and headed to nearby Flagstaff. Sitting at elevation 7000 ft, it’s many degrees cooler and has things that are green. We came here intending to cool off – both our bodies and on the bus projects. We were also tempted […]
