Wine to Whales starts in Tecate

For the next 21 days, we'll be traveling through Baja California, Mexico as part of a 43-RV caravan called Wine to Whales. When our friends Bob and Cindy first invited us on this trip while we were all in Yellowstone, it seemed so far away. Today it started in Tecate, Mexico.

Get noticed with a catchy yard sign

Every time we set up camp, we set out the yard sign we made to promote our social media posts. We get a lot of compliments, but recently, we've had a lot of requests from people asking if I could make one for them. The answer is, absolutely!

Quartzsite: boondocking and friends

Quartzsite, Arizona can be described as one of the great spectacles of RV life. Thousands of RVers gather in the desert for two weeks to celebrate life on the road. There are potlucks, classes, music, and a huge RV show and swap meet. Companionship from new and old friends combined with a beautiful desert landscape made this an unforgettable experience.

Wine to Whales in Baja

Last year, we centered our travels around a summer job at Yellowstone. For 2018, it's all about the Wine to Whales caravan.

Pitching parcels for the holidays

I considered several jobs for winter 2017. I needed a job that was flexible, paid well, and located in Austin, Texas where we'd be for November and December. Working for Amazon. Waiting tables. Using my van to be a courier. Pitching parcels for the holidays as a seasonal United States Postal Service worker fit the bill.
