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
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 – […]
Travelogue: Austin, St. Louis & Florida
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 […]
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 […]
Travelogue: Orlando to Austin (SXSW)
Time Frame: March 7 – 21, 2010 Miles Driven: 1229 After an extended stay in Florida catching up with family and friends, checking out sail boats and making new friends – we decided to head on to Austin to be in the area while SXSW Interactive was going on. With so many bloggers and friends […]

Time Period: Oct 25 – Dec 31, 2009 Miles Driven: 2125 With plans to spend the holidays with family in the St. Louis area, we looked ahead to doing a mid-country run very much similar to the path we took earlier in the year. We decided to sign on to workamp at Amazon’s distribution center in […]
Our Visit to Slab City & East Jesus
We had such as awesome time visiting and exploring Slab City – the remains of the abandoned Marine barracks of Camp Dunlap just outside Niland, California along the Salton Sea in the desert of southeast California. 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 […]
