It was just too damn cold in the pacific north west to stay through the winter, so Kerri and I chose to hop back into the van for yet another winter in the warm(er) south west. Already, things have not gone to plan with Big Blue’s first ever major breakdown...
We started our 2019 travels back in early December of 2018 when we left Bellingham, WA to head South for the winter. As of the time I wrote this, we had no other plans as to what we would do or where we would go once we got down there...
With our 2018 van-travel plans complete for the year, I’ve gone ahead and updated my all-inclusive travel map. If you are like me, things like this interest you. The map is available on Google Maps for the viewers to tinker with, feel free. See the brown line in the above...
Two years ago Kerri and I planned to spend a serious amount of time exploring the state we both grew up in – California. For me, even though I spent 37 years here, I rarely got out and explore the state. Sure, I drove the Reno or L.A., and I...
In 2018 we plan to keep things West. Literally, the Western states will get most, if not all, our attention. First we will spend the winter months in Baja, Mexico (again), then into California where we will bounce all over the state to properly explore both our home state. Both...
It is time again, the start of a whole new year of traveling (my 7th year) and as usual I have the year already planned out… mostly, as room for changes are built in. In fact, not only have we already begun our 2017 travels, we have already made two...
I spent some time recently and merged the maps for each of my individual years of traveling since I started this lifestyle in late 2009. It took some serious effort since Google Maps has so many limitations on how many points and layers you can have on a single map,...
In 2016 the plan is to visit Baja Mexico for the winter, Colorado Rockies in the Spring and Summer, then back to Grand Teton for an early Autumn kayaking/backpacking adventure. As the year comes to a close we will travel down the Northern Sierras in Oregon and California then spending...
Yesterday as Kerri and I were driving down the highway we started discussing the possibility of drastically changing our route (planned more than 18 months out). One of the great things about this lifestyle (living on the road) is that you can change your plans on a whim. After a...
I normally do not plan too far ahead, as I know my plans will invariably change, but Kerri’s work schedule requires a little more premeditation in the strategy department. Adding to the need is the desire to meet up with some of the Airstream convoy also making the foray into...
