Last evening we hosted an outdoor movie night for our fellow Xscapers friends camped with us at the after-convergence here in Quartzsite. (The main convergence was a huge success, and several of us have retreated further into the desert to continue the bonding – only away from the freeway and much more spread out.) The movie selected […]
Our Travels
Hot Water, Stillness & Friends – A Perfect Stay in Desert Hot Springs
It seems like it was last year when we arrived to Desert Hot Springs. Oh wait. It was! We pulled in as neighbors to our buddies Nina & Paul of WheelingIt in early December, and we set down the landing gear for at least a couple of weeks. Our return was to a favorite place […]
Kicking the Year Off – Setting Intentions
Ahh.. new years. Opportunities to reset, start anew. Like most everyone else on the planet who recognizes this particular arbitrary date on this particular calendar, we too are looking ahead. We thought we’d share some of our intentions going forward in our travels, business life and personal life (including blogging). Some might call these resolutions, […]
Our 2015 Travel Route & Year in Review
Ah, end of the year. That time when we look back, remark on how fast it went by, how much we did, and we prepare to move on. For us road nomads, we usually wrap it up with a route of our travels. So, presenting our 2015 travel map (this is an embedded and interactive map, […]
Our 12 Favorite Campgrounds of 2015

The Priceless Joys of Free & Cheap RV Camping
When I decided to join Chris on the road back in 2007, I really didn’t understand this whole full time RVing thing. I was used to weekend warrior type camping in my pop-up trailer. I made a reservation at a local state park, paid a fee, showed up, had neighbors 20-30 feet away with a […]
A Quick Meander Through Arizona – Benson & Arizona City
After several weeks exploring New Mexico, we decided to continue meandering westward to keep our options open for rendezvousing with friends who had already reached southern California. We were still on the fence if we would just explore more of Arizona, or push to get on through. We still had a couple weeks to figure […]
Coming Over the Mountain – Continuing to Explore New Mexico
After our delightful and restful mini-vacation in Truth or Consequences, we moved back into our bus. Thoroughly cleansed after our summer renovation chaos, we considered it a restart to our adventures. One of the personal conclusions we came to during our reevaluation, was that we had overcommitted ourselves professionally. We had spent much of the […]
Continuing to Explore New Mexico – Santa Fe & Truth or Consequences
Before the year gets away from us (wow, it’s mid December already????) and we start our year end wrap-up posts – I wanted to catch the travelogue up on our adventures. We started this blog as a place to record our journey, and we strive to keep that focus going forward. Before we went on social […]
And MORE Blasts from the Past
This will likely be our last ‘Blasts from the Past’ post for a while as we emerge from our hiatus from creating new content. As a newer reader, you might not have seen this past content. And long time readers might have forgotten about them. When you’re preparing to the road full time, you might have some […]
