When I first met Chris and found out his family is from St. Louis – I wasn’t all that thrilled. In my mind, it was in the midwest and thus one of those places you fly over. On my first visit with him there, I have to admit – I was very skeptical. Over the […]
Life on the Road
Our Freaky Deeky Time Machine
Our bus will turn 51 years old this September. And we’ve become totally enamored with tracking down her history before she became our Zephyr. We’ve found the GM delivery list and tracked down that she was ordered and in service to Citizen Auto Stage out of Nogales, Arizona. We knew that she was mainly a […]
A Rare Oliver Travel Trailer – For Sale
As many of you probably already know, we traveled full time from 2008 – 2011 in a very sweet, decked out, 17′ fiberglass egg custom constructed for us by Oliver Travel Trailers. We sold ours last year in an unsolicited offer, which prompted our moving on to a vintage bus. These trailers were made to […]
Date Night in St. Louis
The heat wave has continued for much of the US, including record breaking heat in St. Louis. We have to admit, we’ve gotten a bit stir crazy sitting in the bus all day trying to keep cool. The drone of the roof top air conditioners alone is enough to be maddening. This is exactly the […]
Push For Heat
Last week was delightfully pleasant in St. Louis and we thought we were doing good with our plan to stay away from extreme temperatures this summer. Imagine our surprise when the forecast started looking like this: 108?!? You’ve got to be kidding us. Sure enough, our digital thermometer (placed in the shade) topped out at […]
And the SerenDIPity Winners are…
Wow, you guys didn’t make this easy on us! We had a dozen entries into our SerenDIPity Challenge Contest that we issued at the beginning of the month, and they’re all worthwhile checking back in on and giving a read. When we decided (on a whim) to do this contest, we thought we’d get a few […]
Finally – a Bus Project for Cats!
Hey everyone… Kiki here! My people keep tackling all these bus projects, but they ignore my list of demands! After a year, I’ve gotten pretty fed up with it. Here’s my list – I think it’s all reasonable, right? Last week, I finally got my own desk! My grandmeow in St. Louis had gotten me […]
Happy 1-Year Busiversary!
Wow. Has it been a year already? One year ago today – after an extensive cross country search by Amtrak train, and 2-days in the roasting hot 120+ degree Arizona sun trying to get her ready for a test drive – we bought Zephyr – our 1961 GM PD-4106 bus conversion. When we found her […]
Surprise! We’re in St. Louis!
I haven’t mentioned the primary reason I am thankful that our stay in Austin got extended. The Roller Coaster Ride No, this part isn’t about some awesome amusement park we went to. If you’ve been following along this year, than you probably already know that ‘something’ was up with my dad’s health at the beginning […]
When Serendipity Knocks
When last we updated, we had extended our stay in Austin as long as Pecan Grove could keep us – until Friday the 8th. On Thursday evening we gathered with our friends in the area, and said our ‘until next times’ once again. Friday morning, we both woke-up and started the begrudging task of preparing […]
