Chris and Cherie have recently been attending these really cool sounding festivals. They’ve gotten to take *our* house to remote locations and climb on wooden structures, burn things up, meet awesome sounding people and show off our nomadic lifestyle. All of these events have a ‘Leave the pets at home’ rule… which seems totally discriminatory […]

Travelogue: Loop to Hohenwald

Oliver’s Twist: Story of an RV Manufacturer Adapting

The Road Ahead: Summer 2009

A week still
Ever since we left the San Francisco Bay Area on March 22, we’ve been in motion heading towards St. Louis for Mother’s Day, with a stop in Austin to visit with my family. We decided to take just over 6 weeks to make the trip, a very reasonable pace to keep that allows for stopping […]
