Grand Junction, CO was sort of our bail out point if we decided we didn’t want to proceed to EclipseFest23 in Oregon. We could have easily turned south and headed straight to Zephyr in Benson, AZ instead. By the time we reached it, our excitement was mounting – especially knowing how many dear friends we’d […]
Van Life (May 2019 - present)
Missouri, Kansas, Colorado & Utah Van Trip Segment Recap
Oh boy, have I fallen behind on keeping the blog updated with our cross country van trip towards EclipseFest23 in Oregon. Last we left you, we had just settled into St. Louis for some time with family after our drive from Florida. That seems like a lifetime ago at this point! I suppose that’s the […]
On the Road Again: Sanford to St. Louis Van Trip
With the heat index staying in triple digits numbers in Florida, we decided to move up our departure from Sanford a bit and start heading north sooner rather than later. So on August 24th, after a week of prepping the van for a big road trip across country, and getting Y-Not secured for peak hurricane […]
Our Fall/Winter 2023 Van Trip Plans: Oregon for EclipseFest23 and Arizona!
It’s hard to believe we’ve been back in Sanford nearly a month now, it’s gone by so quickly! We’ve certainly been keeping busy with lots of live theater shows, time with friends & family, celebrating my 50th birthday and keeping our running & biking up. All of this despite some record breaking days with excessive […]
A Month Meandering Around Florida in the Van
With Y-Not hauled out in Jacksonville for routine maintenance items (bottom paint, thru-hulls, anodes, etc) – we loaded up Blooper for some van adventures. We had anticipated that we’d only need to fill in a couple of weeks, but Lamb’s has been backed up and didn’t inspect our thru-hulls immediately. It was determined that a […]
Our First RV Trip to Canada – Exploring Southern Ontario, Border Crossing, Internet & Money
Can you believe that in our 16 years of full timing we have never RV’d in Canada? Yeah. We can’t either. We have however visited Canada many times by cruise ship, train and car. So this summer, we decided it was well past time we finally crossed over with an RV as well for a […]
Run for the Border – West Virginia to New York
After our experiment with naked RVing in West Virginia, we had a couple more adventures up our sleeve before we planned to cross the border into Canada. For this segment, we focused on areas new to us to explore – which is amazing to think that after 16 years of full timing across the country, […]
Baring It All – Skinny Dipping at Nude RV Parks
Have you ever stayed at a nudist RV park? We recently decided it was time for us to experience one for the first time in our travels. While neither us would identify as a naturist – we actually enjoy wearing clothing too – we have always been comfortable being in clothing optional situations. And it’s […]
Summer Van Adventures Continued – North Carolina and Virginia
Ok. Time is moving way too fast. I seriously intended to keep this blog a little more updated closer to real time. However, I can report that the reason I’m so behind is a good one – we’re just having way too much fun! We did recently find some time to shoot a quick video […]
Back on the Road – Let the Van Adventures Begin!
We got the boat all buttoned up and the van loaded – and pulled out of Sanford on a sunny day with the wide open road ahead of us. And it’s already hard to believe we’re 2.5 weeks into this trip and already have had so many new experiences to share! The pace of life […]
