They call the wind Mariah We’ve been in some wind on our journey. A snowstorm in Indiana with 30+ mph gusts hitting us sideways as we tried to drive the hell out of Indiana. On the bluffs overlooking the ocean in Oregon and California with 30 mph gale force winds and gusts up to 50mph.Continue reading “Wind and Rain and Solar”

Flagstaff – Solar Work
This is our second visit to Flagstaff, and I find it to be an absolutely beautiful area. Windy nearly all the time, but beautiful. Probably not more windy than Chimacum ridge was, but they get very little rain here so you can get a lot of dust with the wind. Yesterday we had 20 toContinue reading “Flagstaff – Solar Work”
Set My People Free
Our country called for our help and we did our civic duty. We halted our perpetual travels, accumulated a collection of masks, and got our vaccinations. That is all we can do for our fellow countryman. The current fluctuating closures looks to be the new normal for years to come, so off we go! NightContinue reading “Set My People Free”
An amazing Hoh
As we do repairs and get ready to travel full time again, we are also taking the time to do some hiking. There are so many amazing hikes in Washington it would take a lifetime to do them all. Recently we did six hours of driving to see the Hoh Rain Forest. Since our houseContinue reading “An amazing Hoh”
How do you work from the road?
By far and away the most common question I have been asked is how I work while living on the road. To be honest, it is the only question I have gotten, but I have been asked twice. Considering the tremendously limited popularity of my blog, any question at all is astonishing. Connectivity If youContinue reading “How do you work from the road?”
Why we do the things we do
To be honest, our timing couldn’t have been worse. Five years of planning to downsize into an RV, approximately three months on the road, and then a world pandemic. WTF Mate? You have to make real sacrifices to live in a tiny nimble RV. No oven, no bathtub, no washer and dryer, no extra roomContinue reading “Why we do the things we do”
The Big Dark
My last entry was in March of this year. My wife and I found ourselves in Mendocino CA with the world locking down and me having a health issue. You truly don’t want to know more on that subject, trust me. We wanted to be responsible and do our part to help. At first weContinue reading “The Big Dark”
The Pandemic Entry
All citizens of Earth will have this experience in common for the rest of their lives. There is a lot of uncertainty, a lot of fear, a little chaos, and a lot of hero’s doing everything they can to help. Sun-Tzu said that in the midst chaos there is also opportunity. It is my fondContinue reading “The Pandemic Entry”
On the Road Again
Our two month stint in Washington was enjoyable and productive, but it felt nice to wheels up and point our nose south. I like a nice rain, but two months of cold rain wears out its welcome, even with me. We couldn’t have asked for better travel weather with sunlight falling on spring blossoms. IntoContinue reading “On the Road Again”
Ferrys, Trains and Automobiles
Living on the road isn’t a living vacation. All the normal tasks everyone has, when not on vacation, fall upon us as well. So we decided to take a vacation last weekend. Oh what fun it was! The Journey to and from I’ve always had a fascination with trains, not Sheldon level, but still IContinue reading “Ferrys, Trains and Automobiles”
