After hundreds of miles of traveling the West Coast, we capped off our summer by attending Burning Man! What is Burning Man? It's hard to capture its essence in words. Burning man is an annual gathering that takes place in a remote corner of the NW Nevada desert at a place called Black Rock City. … Continue reading Travelogue: The Bus Goes to Burning Man
2017 Summer Recap Part Three In other posts on this blog, I've talked about how we try to use our bus' wheels to avoid extreme temperatures, so many of you may be wondering why in the hell we decided to drive back to Texas in the middle of July. Well, we were invited to attend … Continue reading Travelogue: From There to Texas
2017 Summer Recap: Part 2 - July Washington Sequim, WA Where we stayed: Dungeness Recreation Area Washington has a reputation for having pervasively dreary weather, but Sequim goes a long way towards undermining this notion. Situated in the Olympic Rain Shadow, Sequim bucks the rainy trend and has a significantly drier and sunnier climate the … Continue reading Travelogue: Washington State
Yikes! We've clearly fallen off of the wagon when it comes to regularly updating our travelogues . This is partly the result of me working more hours during the week, us logging a lot more miles behind the wheel, and spending most of our free time exploring the places we visit. Excuses aside, I'll spend … Continue reading Travelogue: The Golden State Part II
Holy Cow! We're officially over a month behind on our travelogue. For the handful of people out there who read our blog regularly (Hello to our respective family members!), we're very sorry for not keeping the account of our travels up to date. We'll do our best to remedy that by covering a lot of … Continue reading Travelogue: The Golden State Part I

While the general tone of our blog is positive, we don't want to give a false impression that our life is one never-ending vacation. There's a lot about living and traveling … Continue reading The Reality of Living On a Bus: It’s Not All Glamour
We caught the superbloom! If you haven't been following the news coming out of the Bureau of Land Management's California office , I'll explain what that means. Following the nigh drought-ending rainstorms that pummeled California this winter, a so called "superbloom" of wildflowers is happening across the state. Such an extensive bloom of wildflowers hasn't … Continue reading Travelogue: Carrizo Plain National Monument, CA
We made it to California! Why are we so excited about this? When we left Texas for the first time back in June of 2016, this was our intended destination, but then we realized our tires (and the rest of us) would probably melt while crossing I-10 in the summer heat long before ever making … Continue reading Travelogue: Mojave National Preserve – Cima, CA
We spent the last week of March visiting the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. It's truly an amazing location that draws tourists in the millions for good reason. To see the canyon is to witness the incredibly formative and enduring power of nature. Unfortunately, visiting Grand Canyon National Park was also 160 miles of … Continue reading Travelogue: Grand Canyon National Park, AZ
Though we visited southern New Mexico back in January, we hadn't yet taken the bus across the northern half of the state. This time around, we made it a point to see some of the sites along I-40, and El Malpais Conservation Area & National Monument were definitely near the top of our list! Dubbed … Continue reading Travelogue: El Malpais Conservation Area, Grants, NM
