The universe lined up the perfect Jeep for us – right when and where we needed it. Who am I to say no? Introducing our new 2006 Diesel Jeep Liberty CRD, Jeep v2 (VeeTwo?): We spent a long sweaty day in the hot Texas sun yesterday moving EVERYTHING from Jeep v1 to v2. We had […]

Amazing $13k tires increase fuel economy by 50%!!!
Jeep needs four new shoes. And though I had planned on waiting until California to buy them for her, the spinout and unrepairable flat from last week have accelerated the timetable dramatically. She also needs an alignment, and an oil change. And likely soon a new battery, and some repair work on the battery cable. […]
When it Rains.. it Storms
We made it to Austin, but not without an adventure to get here. Driving south towards Texas, we encountered patches of heavy winds and rain in Oklahoma. It cleared up, until we got into the Ft. Worth area. Black skies ahead and radar was showing heavy storms and warnings were issued for strong thunderstorms and […]
Stirred, not Shaken…
Thursday started with a bang… We had spent the night in Walnut Creek State Park, near Tulsa, OK. Our spot was perfect, right on the shore of Keystone Lake. It was a truly beautiful place. We awoke to nature putting on a show for us – with thunder and lightening starting our day. Fortunately our […]
Travelogue: St. Louis
When last we left our technomadic adventurers, they were heading out of Atlanta towards St. Louis… I’ve never really been to much of the midwest, besides Chicago and Champaign, IL before. And honestly, I really never previously had much of a desire to visit them – hearing less than exciting tales from friends who grew […]
See Rock City!
After years of driving in and around Chattanooga, Tennessee and being taunted by ‘See Rock City’ billboards.. I have finally seen Rock City! Fritz had always told me that it was something touristy and cheesy that he and his family did when he was younger – and thus it was never a priority for him […]
Greetings From the Road!
I’ve now been nomadic for 4-days, and what a 4-day it has been! We left out on Thursday and immediately headed down to Miami to visit with a high school friend of Chris. The traffic heading south added a good 2-3 hours to our anticipated journey, putting us a bit behind schedule. I got in […]
May 10, 2007 – And We’re Off!
We packed up the remaining stuff this morning. Said good-bye to Fritz before he left for work. Cuddled with Alma for a bit.. and then drove away. Although, not together initially – as I dropped my Prius, Xara, off with my friend Laura. Unfortunately, she was rear-ended yesterday afternoon so I’m loaning her my car […]
Tomorrow?!?
I leave tomorrow?!? Actually, despite there being less than 12 hours until our departure, I’m sitting down and sipping a nice glass of wine. I even had time to join my parents for dinner, and introduce them to fire spinning. I’m finding I did a fantastic job of purging, as when I went to put […]
Preps: Super Progress Girl
Wow.. I am getting so much stuff done, it feels unreal. I’m really quite impressed with the system we devised for getting stuff done, it really seems to be working and is giving me a clear sense of accomplishment and progress. Basically, our system is a set of lists we keep collaboratively on Google Documents […]
