Storage units are like security blankets for baby nomads. So many of us head out on the road with the core bits of our former stationary life crammed into a big “climate controlled” box somewhere, ready and waiting just in case nomadic life doesn’t work out. For others, it is more about punting – putting […]
Life on the Road
Cedar Key – Here we Come!
Once we get through the storage unit purge this week, we’ll be starting a cross country repositioning with a destination of Cedar Key, Florida by Christmas! Yup, we’re returning to our waterfront spot in that chill place of gorgeous sunsets. And yes, yet again, there’ll be a bit of a convergence of fellow full timing […]
Change Your Office View: Full Time RVing Workspaces
A couple weeks ago a reader chatted us up and asked if we had any resources about workspaces other RVers have created. Our immediate thought was… what a great idea for a series! So off I went to poke some fellow working-on-the-road RVers for photos of their workspaces to start creating a new little corner […]
Goodbye Cape Blanco – Hello Sacramento!
With our extension at the lighthouse coming to an end, and the reality of the cross country drive to Florida by the end of the year settling in – it was time to plot our escape and get on with the next adventure of clearing out Chris’ storage unit in Sacramento. We left Cape Blano […]
Lighthouses Guide More Than Ships

Failure Analysis: Did a Baldwin PA2721 Filter Failure Kill our 8V71 Engine?
The story of our summer was our major breakdown in remote Montana, and the subsequent full engine rebuild we carried out at Interstate PowerSystems in Billings, MT. The question we have been asked a million times since we first posted about the breakdown has been – “just what went wrong?” The symptoms defied a clear […]
Tips and Tricks for a Versatile RVing Wardrobe
More than likely, your RV is going to have less storage space than you had in your more traditional home. Assembling a versatile wardrobe to take on the road is part of almost every nomad’s journey. This was a tough one for me. Before I hit the road I had a huge dresser, a huge […]
This Could Be Your Office
Update: Wow! The power of the blog… reinforcements have already shown up and looks there will be plenty of help out here for the month! Thank you! We went to our orientation yesterday for our October Cape Blanco volunteer gig. It seems two, not one, couples cancelled last minute on their commitments for October. […]
What?? The Month is Over Already??
Oh goodness, it seems like we just pulled into Cape Blanco to begin this lighthouse host adventure. How quickly four weeks goes by. We spent our last scheduled week trying to pack in as much awesome as we could – which is easy in a place where just sitting around is pretty darn awesome. […]
Sunset Magic
We had such a masterpiece of a sunset last evening… that I couldn’t resist another photo post of Cape Blanco Lighthouse. Hope you don’t mind.
