Our time in northern Indiana hasn’t all been consumed with bus projects – we did get out and play a little too. Elkhart While still at Elkhart Campground (our review), RVillage founder Curtis Coleman hosted an impromptu meet up at his coach – which was very well attended. We hardly had time to talk with […]

Hanging around Elkhart
We’ve been hanging out in Elkhart, IN ever since the Escapade let out on the 17th at Elkhart Campground. Between the DOVES hosting Red Cross training classes, Nick Russell of the awesome Gypsy Journal offering his Self Publishing workshop and bunches of friends – who could resist? It’s been non-stop events, social gatherings, deepening of […]
Reflections on the Escapade
On a rather last minute whim, when we left Mitch’s castle we decided to head east instead of west – towards Goshen, IN and the 54th Annual Escapade, the annual rally of the Escapees RV Club. After attending the big FMCA rally down in Perry earlier this year, we had been told to expect quite […]
From a Castle to Escapade
After we left our decadent stay at the Castle in Illinois, we made the decision we were heading east instead of west to attend our first ever Escapade – the annual rally of the Escapees. We had a little over a week to make it to Goshen, IN – so we decided to take a […]
Had Fun Storming the Castle
We were contemplating where to head after St. Louis, feeling pulled westward to keep on track for our lighthouse hosting gig in Oregon this fall. And then Chris’ aunt Sherry got in touch, and said she and her boyfriend were back in the area – and they’d love to see us, at his castle. We had […]
A Wonderful Time in St. Louis
Chris has family in St. Louis. And over the years of us stopping in, I’ve just fallen in love with the city. This particular trip back had some goals: Spend time with Chris’ grandma, who had taken quite a spill earlier this year. She’s doing great! Move some boxes from our bus bay that we’ve […]
Following the Mississippi River – Memphis & Columbus
We were on our way to Memphis to rendezvous with our friends Kristin & Jason when we had our ‘brake-down’. Chilling in Memphis After getting back on the road nearly 24-hours later, we made the final two hour drive and happily parked next to our neighbors who assisted in our rescue! While we had big […]
An Unexpected Brake-Down
Our last travelogue post ended on a bit of a cliffhanger. We started the morning off in Hohenwald, TN driving south on the beautiful Natchez Trace for a few miles, and we then headed westward on Highway 64 towards Memphis to rendezvous with our dear friends Kristin & Jason, who we hadn’t seen since our […]
Bus Maintenance and Oliver Travel Trailer Factory Tour
On Tuesday, April 1st – Chris’s 8th Nomadiversary, we departed our sweet little spot at F. D. Roosevelt State Park in Georgia and headed north to Chattanooga. Our purpose, as it always is, is routine bus chassis maintenance at Choo Choo Express Garage. Choo Choo Bus Maintenance Wednesday morning our mechanic Joel got right to […]
A Spring Break
We thoroughly found a peaceful harbor at F. D. Roosevelt State Park (our review) outside of Pine Mountain, Georgia and we ended up extending our stay there for 10 days. The Georgia Park system strikes a perfect balance for our style. You can reserve in advance online, but you don’t book a specific spot. Upon […]
