Another quick post this week while we continue our hiatus from creating new content, with some links to some past content that you might enjoy catching up on. As a newer reader, you might not have seen this past content. And long time readers might have forgotten about them. One of the more frequent questions we’ve seen asked […]

Is It Worthwhile to Renovate an Old RV? Why Not Just Buy New?
Some of the most frequent questions we’ve gotten over the years (particularly during our summer 2015 bus renovation) have been around the amount we have invested in our RV, and more particularly – why didn’t we just go buy a newer RV with all the features we wanted, rather than building them in ourselves? Is it […]
Back on the Road.. And it Feels Great!
Ahh… the freedom of the open road! Sounds other than trains squealing, vile rap music, forklifts, welding, grinding and the other regular shop sounds we had grown so accustomed to. Views other than of a gravel industrial lot. Healthier meals cooked at home, instead of constant convenience food. Miles under our tires being made. Washing squished […]
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 […]
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 […]
Guide to RVing at the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta
Four years ago, we made a last minute decision to route through Albuquerque rather than across Colorado on our first bus trip east. We were warned that RV parking might be scarce however, because there was this balloon thingie going on. We scored a last minute site about 40 minutes outside of town, and decided to […]
You Can Climb Mountains
I don’t have a fear of heights. I have a fear of tumbling down to my doom. Ask me to join you for a hike to the top of anything resembling a mountain, and I’m likely to politely decline. It’s not the up part that scares me, it’s the coming down part. We’re currently parked […]
There’s Everywhere to Call Home!
In the August edition of Harper’s Magazine, author Jessica Bruder wrote a cover feature about ‘The End of Retirement: When You Can’t Afford to Stop Working‘ focused on down-and-out retirees becoming “elderly migrant workers” trudging from one job to another across the country, being taken advantage of by employers like Amazon along the way. Ironically, the […]
Tips for Storing Your RV When You Need to Leave it Behind
Whether you’re a full time RVer or seasonal, there are just times that you might need to leave your RV behind. And it’s not as simple as just closing the door behind you and hoping to return to a fresh smelling, undamaged RV. In the past 2 months, we’ve been on some non-RV adventures – like we […]
Last Stops in Arizona: Tucson, Benson & Willcox
It never fails to surprise me. We reach the end of another season, with more places left on our ‘must see list’ than we actually had time to visit. And of course this winter is no different. We thought we’d be able to fill in more blanks this winter boondocking around the southwest. And maybe […]
