On Tuesday Moose went in to the vet for his first checkup and shots. The Vet told me that Moose is about 3 to 3 1/2 months old and that he does not have any ideas on his breed. He also said that based on his “extremely dirty ear canals”...
Taking advantage of the sun, Mom and I took the dogs to the beach here in Crescent City. Belle has been the beach before, but for Moose this was his first time (I assume). Not much to add other than the pups had a great time running, playing, and digging...
With the sun finally making an appearance this morning I took a moment to snap a few photos of the scenery out my front windshield; my host’s front yard (the Sherman’s). This quaint front yard, not much bigger than my van, packs a big visual punch. Not only is it...

Living in a van, over regular RV, comes with some inherent bonuses; We are smaller making us more mobile. Our fuel costs are generally lower. Vans are cheaper to maintain and easier to work on ourselves. There are numerous reasons (all valid to one degree or another) to choose a...
