I grew up in Texas, Austin to be precise. We’ve driven through the state many times over the years. But yet, it always amazes me just how big Texas is. Charting any trip through the state is a daunting task. So many miles, so many routes you can take, and even after all our years […]
Winter 2015 Boondocking Location Round-Up
When we were first approaching our very first winter season in the desert southwest, we had big plans of hitting lots of awesome boondocking sites. There were so many incredible sounding locations on our radar, and we were anxious to check them all out. Looking back to create this round-up, I have to admit – […]
Leaving the Southwest
We’ve been meandering around the desert southwest since November, enjoying a fabulous and temperate winter with lots of boondocking. Our very first season spent in the area.. aside from our ungodly hot summer in 2011 after we found our bus in Yuma. The Escapade earlier this month served as our bookend event to mark our […]
Our Second Escapade – Tucson, AZ
Our stop at Picacho Peak State Park was an intentionally planned rendezvous with our friends Travis & Mel to do some last minute strategizing on the launch of Xscapers before Escapade. It was lovely getting some extended in person time with them, after nearly a year of video and phone chats. We then meandered over to the […]
Introducing Xscapers – A New Generation of RVers by Escapees RV Club
Flash back to last spring… we were heading across country from our winter in Florida, had just caught back up with our buddies the Snowmads and were contemplating caravanning down Route 66 with them starting in St. Louis and heading west. We figured we’d then poke around the western states before our Oregon lighthouse hosting gig […]
Happy First Birthday, RVillage! Celebrating in Arizona City, Picacho Peak and Escapade
It seems like it was just a year ago that we literally pressed the ‘launch’ button on unleashing RVillage to the world. Oh wait.. it WAS just a year ago this week! It’s been a crazy year since, and now RVillage has over 17,000 members who are connecting with each other and making new friends […]
Off to the Escapade! (Tucson, AZ – March 8-13)
Tomorrow morning we’ll pull into the Pima County Fairgrounds, starting our adventures at the Escapee’s 55th Annual Escapade in Tucson. Whew. It’s been some very hectic weeks for us leading up to this to prepare. So much had to get done, including getting the re-write of The Mobile Internet Handbook for 2015 completed in time to have print […]
Ramblings: Tales from Nomads – The Long Family
Meet Becky & Chris Meet Becky & Chris Long. Two artists who decided that instead of waiting for opportunity to come to them, they’d go out and find it. They hit the road in 2008 with their 2 year old daughter, Nora. We first filmed them in 2010 at the NuRVer’s Gathering in Texas – and […]
By the Wrath of Killer Bunnies – Ajo’s Name Shall Be Erased from Your Vocabulary
There’s always a risk that when a blogger shares about an amazing location, that so many folks will put it on their must-see list and what once made it a magical place – will go away. We’ve seen it happen, RVers following the trails left behind by those before them.. and then wham, the next time that […]
Don’t Forget to Pack… Practical Things You Might Not Expect for Full Time RVing
You’re preparing to hit the road full time, and you’ve read all about these gadgets that other RVers make sound absolutely essential – 12v fans, better sewer hoses, power surge protectors, leveling blocks, flying drones, LED projectors, fancy kitchen gadgets and more. And of course, those are all important. But what about that stuff you […]
