So We Meet Again..

Sep 23, 2011 by Cherie Ve Ard 10 Comments

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

Sep 18, 2011 by Cherie Ve Ard 16 Comments

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

Sep 10, 2011 by Cherie Ve Ard 16 Comments

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 […]

Traveling the USA via Amtrak Rail Pass

Jul 16, 2011 by Cherie Ve Ard 54 Comments

After selling our Oliver Travel Trailer, and spending a month transitioning our travels in a borrowed Le’Sharo motorhome – we purchased a month long Amtrak Rail Pass to continue our vintage bus hunt. We thought we’d share what we learned about traveling via a rail pass and life aboard Amtrak. About the Amtrak USA Rail […]

The Le’Sharo Right of Passage

May 31, 2011 by Chris Dunphy 23 Comments

It was only a month ago when we found ourselves facing imminent homelessness, heading north from Florida to deliver both our truck and our beloved trailer to their new owner. We headed towards the sale with literally no plan for what was next. We started looking into buying a temporary RV, or renting a u-haul […]

Technomadia – The People of 2010

Dec 30, 2010 by Cherie Ve Ard 11 Comments

The thing that stands out the most for us about 2010 was the amazing number of people we had the pleasure of meeting up with. Friends, old and new, and family. The best way to summarize it is with photos. We’re so very blessed to have you along for the adventure. Thank you for helping […]

Travelogue: San Francisco to St. John

Nov 14, 2010 by Cherie Ve Ard 1 Comment

Time period: Oct 7, 2010 – March 30, 2011 Miles traveled by RV: 3140 Miles traveled in total: 4405 While parked in San Francisco hanging out with friends post Burning Man, we were trying to figure out what was next for us. After a very hectic summer of a lot of physical and emotional movement […]

Travelogue: Black Rock City to San Francisco

Oct 9, 2010 by Cherie Ve Ard 1 Comment

Time Frame: August 29 — October 6, 2010 Miles Driven: 344 Our daily pictorials from Burning Man 2010 should wrap up our time there: Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 Day 7 Day 8 After a summer of travel with essential stopping points, plans, emergencies, lots of social time […]

Travelogue: St. Louis, MO to Black Rock City, NV

Sep 9, 2010 by Cherie Ve Ard 1 Comment

Time Frame: August 2 – 28, 2010 Miles Driven: 2825 After a way too brief of a stop in St. Louis, it was time to continue west towards Burning Man. It seems every year we find ourselves in this predicament – way too little time to traverse some of the most beautiful scenery our country […]

Travelogue: Melbourne, FL to St. Louis, MO

Aug 2, 2010 by Cherie Ve Ard 3 Comments

Time Frame: July 7 – August 1, 2010 Miles Driven: 1818 With my father well on the mend after his lung removal, we were ready to head on from hot and muggy Florida and continue our adventures. With only one destination to make this summer – Burning Man 2010 at the end of August – […]
