I was driving the Tahoe last night, Jeremiah was passenger, when he said, “you need this exit,” and pointed to the exit practically behind us. “This exit?” I asked, “like, right here? This one?” Yes. This exit. And, with that, I crossed two lanes of freeway and took the exit. 18-months-ago-Sasha would have said, “we’ll…
And, just like that, we’re heading to Mexico. I should back up. We’ve been holding our breaths, trying to figure out where to go from San Francisco. Back East? Up North into Canada? Not in early February, thank you very much. We have a departure date from the Bay area set on January 30th, and…
On the road again, just can’t wait to get on the road again… -Willie Nelson We headed West of Dallas this morning after a big ole week of getting things done – stocking our pantry, putting new foam in the driver seat, dentist and doctor appointments, annual chassis maintenance, and a whole lot of smaller…
A year ago today, we hooked up the explorer to the back of our Home on Wheels in our backyard: next to a nectarine tree I had planted 4 years earlier, across from the shop where Jeremiah had built a remote controlled lawnmower with a friend. Nope, I need to rephrase that. Where Jeremiah tried…
A week ago, I was clutching the steering wheel of the rig while driving 60mph on a 70mph highway. Back tense, sore neck, and a constant headache and whispering to myself it was going to be alright. Reminding myself to blink was part of my plan, as well as to breathe. I had my asthma…
Head out on the highway If you told me a year ago that I would be driving the motorhome, I would probably call you a liar. On our first trip, when we drove from Phoenix to Portland over a 3-day weekend, I hopped nervously in the driver seat about 8 hours into our drive. I…
As someone who thinks highly of statistics, I thought I’d throw some numbers out there for where we’ve been over our journey so far. As of today, we’ve spent 81 nights on the road in our Tiffin. (I had meant to write this at an even 80 but then we went out to dinner and…
Many rocks exist in Quartzsite, Arizona. For a moment, imagine many rocks. Got that image in your mind? Multiply that by almost infinity. That’s how many rocks are in Quartzsite. What I learned in Quartzsite: people really like to buy gems. And rocks. Like, regular ones. I’m not sure how else to explain this Maybe…
Everything moves in a RV. The point of living in a motorhome (The Home on Wheels, or HOW) is to take it where we want to, and move it along with us. That also means that everything we’ve chosen to take with us has to move around every time we travel. There are things we…
Hi! We’re on the road full time – in case you missed our first blog. We sat down for a few minutes last night to play around with our new camera. As you can see, we’re incredibly professional and know exactly what we’re doing. (That’s sarcasm.) We’ll be having more of these in the future.…
