Time frame: May 27 — July 6 Miles Driven: 2256 After a couple months of being still in central Texas with a lot of social time, it was time to get back into motion. Our impending plans seemed to be calling us towards heading to St. Louis for Gateway Burn, and then traveling westward through […]
Travelogues
Travelogue: Austin, Gonzales & New Braunfels
Time frame: March 22 – May 26 Miles Driven: 139 After SXSW wrapped up, we entered into an intentionally still time.

This is probably the least amount of miles driven in any such Travelogue we’ve […]

Our Visit to Slab City & East Jesus

And I had big intentions of writing prolifically about it to share with you. However, I didn’t anticipate just […]
Salvation Mountain at Slab City – Leonard Knight’s Message of Love
Some people have a calling, a message they must deliver to the world. Most never act on this. But a rare few are overcome with purpose, and devote their lives to the call. Artist Leonard Knight heard such a call (“to my knowledge, it was on a Wednesday, about ten-thirty in the morning in 1967”), […]
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 […]

Travelogue: Philadelphia, DC, Appalachians & St Louis
Time Period: June 30 — July 29 Miles Driven: 1904 We had no plans for how to spend the summer. We had toyed with the idea of finding a nice campground in the Smokey Mountains and parking for several weeks to catch up on some work projects. We had toyed with ducking into Canada and […]
