It was three years ago today, that we officially hit the road and spent our first night in the 5th wheel.  It’s been three years of adventures, both expected and unexpected, but I think we feel as excited for day one of year four as we did for day one of year one.  We have […]

We really do hope to get back onto a weekly blog post schedule to make these updates more consistent.  This one was entirely my fault.  But in our defense, not a lot has been going on. Well, it has, but it hasn’t. We’re still in Tucson, as we have been for about two months, and […]

No, we did not suffer another hail tornado (as the thumbnail picture for this post might suggest) but we are still dealing with the ramifications. As Lauren mentioned in her most recent post, we’re finally back out on the road, and we have a busy travel season planned for 2025. Or at least we did […]

According to good ol’ Albert Einstein, time is relative – the rate at which time passes depends on the observer’s frame of reference. According to Lauren and Scott, we concur. Some days can seemingly drag on and on, while other times it feels as though entire weeks pass by in the blink of an eye. […]

In the middle of 2024 I wrote a post covering the numbers behind our first year on the road, which covered April 29, 2023, through April 28, 2024.  But I’d much rather make annual recaps based on each calendar year, so this post is intended to make that change.  Some of the miles, routes, stops, […]

We know, we know… It has been a little over four months since our last update.  Not much happens in four months, right?  Ha! When we left off, Lauren had just written about our “hail tornado” experience in Devils Tower, Wyoming. When the dust (or hail) settled after that exciting adventure we limped our way […]

I know it’s only early August, but it’s starting to feel like summer is coming to an end. We finally(!) are experiencing some cooler temps with highs recently only in the mid 80s instead of the upper 90s.  We looked back at some of our weather station data and we’ve had at least one day […]

A couple months ago, in our anniversary post, I mentioned I would go into a bit more depth at some point on the types of places we stayed at and how much we spent on gas and repairs and campground fees during our first full year on the road.  Well, today is the day.  Get […]

Our ongoing property search has brought us to Pocatello, Idaho.  We have been here since last weekend and will probably stick around this area for another week or two.  Most of our first week has been spent out looking at properties and the good news is, after an unsuccessful search in Utah, we have found […]

Back when I was a little kid I remember watching a television series hosted by Leonard Nimoy called “In Search Of…” and the premise of the show was to investigate mysterious phenomena.  Each episode would search for evidence of things like the Bermuda Triangle or go on the hunt for Bigfoot and the Loch Ness […]
