I think we’re falling in love with boondocking. There is just something so nice about being out in the middle of nowhere yet being completely self-sufficient and having everything we need to get work done and enjoy the space around us. And we’re getting a much better understanding of what our solar power set-up is […]

We got on the road a bit earlier than normal yesterday, leaving Mesa Verde for the Utah/Arizona desert, and we’re lucky we did. By noon we had made it to the area we were wanting to boondock for the next week but it was already packed with people looking for a good place to take […]

After all of the issues we dealt with last week, it was really great to have a low-key, relaxing week. Our travel day down to Mesa Verde last Friday was smooth and uneventful. The RV park we’re staying at is one of the best we’ve stayed at so far. The sites are big and flat […]

We we’re expecting a quiet, uneventful week in Montrose, CO, but RV Life™ always has other plans… Last Sunday started out amazing.  We got up nice and early and spent most of the day exploring and hiking around Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park.  The weather was ideal and it was great to stretch […]

Nothing too exciting happened over the last week. We left the (amazing) Flaming Gorge area last Saturday and made the short drive over to Evanston, Wyoming.  I had to be in Evanston for a work conference during the week and other than that the most exciting thing to happen was getting two new front tires […]

This week was worth all the trouble it took to get here. After the flat tire adventure on Saturday we continued on with our journey and made it to the Flaming Gorge area Sunday afternoon, as planned.  We didn’t have any more unexpected surprises on the way out here and the camping spot we found […]

Hey, look at that, another post and it’s only been a week since the last one! We (finally) got back on the road yesterday.  After 6 weeks in the same place just outside Denver, we started our journey into Wyoming bright and early Saturday morning.  We were a bit rusty with our travel-day prep and […]

We know, we know…  We take far too long in between blog posts.  We’ll try to do better about that moving forward.  I think I’m going to make a plan for myself to post something once a week, even if nothing particularly interesting is going on.  Hopefully I can stick to that. In this case, […]

Where to start? About a week ago the original plan was to leave Lake Tahoe and spend a couple of weeks in the Utah desert near Arches NP before getting to Colorado at the end of the month.  The best laid plans of mice and men…  On the day we left Tahoe we drove across […]

It feels a bit like our first two months living full-time on the road has only been a trial run.  Which makes sense since we kind of did that on purpose.  We knew we wanted to start out with trips close to family, friends, and familiar places in case anything went seriously wrong.  Luckily nothing […]
