We’ve been hanging out in Southern California without much of a plan on which direction will be next.

Our projected nomadic path forward might look something like this: Tomorrow – Depart […]

Never having to pack

Most full time RVers have painstakingly considered every single item they travel with for its use, space and functionality. Everything they think they could need is quite literally within an arm’s reach. When packing for a vacation or […]
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 […]
Temporary Neighbors, Not Guests
Some people travel primarily to spend time visiting cool places. And we absolutely do love finding amazing campgrounds, quirky small towns, wonderful boondocking spots, stealth city camping, incredible scenic overlooks, and the thrill of visiting National Parks.

Burning Man From Start to Finish
