After our abundant 40-night stay in downtown DC, it was time to drop the lines, and start our cruise back down the Potomac River. As we had saved some other popular stops during our transit up for this return trip, so we were excited to explore some new-to-us areas as we made our way back […]

Returning to Boat Life – The Final Van Miles from Arizona to Florida (Including Big Bend National Park!)
We enjoyed a delightful couple of months finishing out 2023 at our RV lot at SKP Saguaro in Benson, Arizona – living aboard Zephyr again, exploring the area and surrounded by amazing friendships. But it was time to pack Blooper back up, get Zephyr back in the storage lot and make our way back east […]
Wrapping Up the Van Trip: Oregon to Arizona and Back to Zephyr!
After we said our ‘until next times’ to dear friends at EclipseFest23, it was time turn the wheels towards Arizona and wrap up this segment of our van travels. Although we do wish we had a few more weeks to play with, as we have so many friends in Oregon we would have loved to […]
2022 Travel Route & Year in Review
It’s the end of another year, and a time to reflect back before moving on. This annual tradition of posts has become part of the fun of sharing. 2022 wraps up 16 years on the road for us together! In many ways, our 2022 travels mimics much of our approach in 2021. We kept a […]
Run for the Border – West Virginia to New York
After our experiment with naked RVing in West Virginia, we had a couple more adventures up our sleeve before we planned to cross the border into Canada. For this segment, we focused on areas new to us to explore – which is amazing to think that after 16 years of full timing across the country, […]
Baring It All – Skinny Dipping at Nude RV Parks
Have you ever stayed at a nudist RV park? We recently decided it was time for us to experience one for the first time in our travels. While neither us would identify as a naturist – we actually enjoy wearing clothing too – we have always been comfortable being in clothing optional situations. And it’s […]
Summer Van Adventures Continued – North Carolina and Virginia
Ok. Time is moving way too fast. I seriously intended to keep this blog a little more updated closer to real time. However, I can report that the reason I’m so behind is a good one – we’re just having way too much fun! We did recently find some time to shoot a quick video […]
Retrospective: 2009 – Community
Leaving friends, family and community behind to hit the road is honestly, tough. As an introvert, I crave a few close deep connections over lots of lighter ones. And I value continuity and regular interaction. And I didn’t have much of that left in Florida when I met Chris. Much of my own community had […]
Xscapers Annual Bash 2020 & New Years Eve Blowout – What a Way to Start the Decade!
Have you ever had a vision and then came back 4 years later and realized – you totally found the exact right people to share that vision with? I’m not sure I’m ever going to be able to adequately convey just what the past 3 weeks has meant to us as we have re-immersed ourselves […]
Tour of our Boat’s Electrical System – Solar, Lithium & Inverters! (Updated for 2025)
As technomads – our mobile electrical systems are the lifeblood of our various nomadic homes. After all – we need to keep all this technology powered up somehow. And while stock RV and boat electrical systems are often perfectly useable (if somewhat limited) – whenever we embrace a technomadic home we just can’t resist diving […]
