We’ve now been at Cape Blanco for just over a week. We’ve completed our first full set of volunteer shifts, and start another today. There are 4 volunteer couples and we work on a rotational schedule of three days in a row (an afternoon shift, a full 6 hr day, then a morning shift), get […]

Our Way Too Quick Trip to Cape Blanco
It’s always a balancing act when you have a destination and arrival date, and a lot of friends along the way to visit. Our arrival date for orientation for our Lighthouse Duties at Cape Blanco was quickly approaching, and we only had 3 nights left. And we had 3 sets of friends we wanted to […]
Following the Gorge into Portland
Whew, it’s been a crazy and amazing couple of weeks and I’m a few miles behind on updating the travelogue. I’ll try to rectify that this week now that we’re settled in at our lighthouse hosting gig and will have lots more free time for writing. Let’s see… last we updated we had finally just […]
The Technomads have Left Montana!
After a night of rocking blues in Billings, Montana to celebrate the completion of our engine rebuild.. it was time to hit the open roads! It’s been quite a bizarre feeling mixed with excitement and daze. I can only imagine it’s similar to a young bird getting kicked out of their nest to go explore […]
Vrooms & Blues
We had a delightful and recharging stay at Spring Creek Campground (our review) just outside Big Timber, MT. We don’t know how much of our experience there was just juxtaposition to our stay of 6 weeks in a parking lot, or if the campground really was that awesome – but it was just what we […]
Keeping Busy in Billings
It’s hard to believe that it’s now been just over a month since we were hauled into Billings, Montana. We knew when we were stranded on the side of the road that we were looking at a lengthy repair, and that definitely factored into deciding what shop to ask Coach-Net to have us taken to. […]
Just a Bump in the Road
We’ve said it over and over again, building a nomadic lifestyle does not get you out of “bad stuff” happening. It still happens. Life on the road is still “life”, and it is not all beautiful sunsets and 50Gbps LTE. Sometimes the unicorns fart rainbows, and sometimes they just plain fart. At the end of […]
Operation: Montana Father’s Day
We left our beautiful spot along the Snake Creek near Platte, SD and headed westward. As beautiful as a spot is, we always have to keep in mind that future adventures await us too! Badlands – Not so Bad! First up, our routing change would have us passing through the Badlands of South Dakota, which […]
The Journey Continues Upriver
Since we last left you, we’ve continued to follow the Lewis & Clark Trail northward through Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota. And it seems each location we arrive at is better and better. Weston, MO It never really stopped raining on Wednesday when we were leaving Kansas City, and we weren’t too terribly excited […]
The Journey Begins: Following the Lewis & Clark Trail
We extended our stay in St. Louis through the weekend so that we could attend a small family reunion in Carondelet Park for a concert in the park. It was great to catch up with family members we don’t see often, and definitely worth sticking around a couple extra days. It was also exciting to […]
