Following the fantastic time at the Tree Lot (see “A Tale Of Trees“), it quickly dawned on me that we were nearing the time to begin our return journey. Although we still had a few months ahead of us and countless experiences yet to come, I was still filled with a sense of impending finality … Continue reading The Return (Part 1)

Californication
It's been about seven weeks since we left The Golden State, but I honestly started feeling the pangs of leaving immediately after crossing the state line. I'm pretty sure that it's not the traffic congestion, high gas prices, outrageous camping fees, the gangster neighborhood we did our laundry in or the constant thought of earthquakes … Continue reading Californication
A Tale Of Trees
I can remember Christmas Tree shopping as a kid when my father would drag us to at least six lots before finally settling on the perfect tree. I remember the feeling of excitement as we drove from the lot across from Quick Check to another lot in Westfield, then maybe over to Bowcraft (was there … Continue reading A Tale Of Trees
Hanging In Hollywood
Hollywood. Where do I begin? Should I start with the fact that I didn’t see anyone famous that I would have liked to? Or something a bit less unfortunate like the fact that we got a tour of the Paramount Pictures and Warner Brothers studios? Or that I got a gold top Epiphone Les … Continue reading Hanging In Hollywood
My AFFs (Animal Friends Forever) at the San Diego Zoo!
When we first pulled into the parking lot of the San Diego Zoo, I could hardly wait to step out of the door of the truck. I have been waiting to come here since before we even left Maine. After we went in and got our tickets, we headed to the zoo tour bus. We … Continue reading My AFFs (Animal Friends Forever) at the San Diego Zoo!
The Other North Coast
The air shifted and definitely became a little cooler as we drove west from the BurntwoodsStock music festival. With the music still in our ears and the fullness of heart from meeting new friends, we headed out to the Pacific coast. We had already spent the previous week around the Portland (Oregon that is… the … Continue reading The Other North Coast
Sugar Beet Harvesting in Montana
I write this post for three reasons.....to admit guilt, to redeem myself and to spread awareness. As a family of four, traveling (living) on only one income is very challenging at times, most times. Brian averages 32 hours per week working remotely. We always seem to make ends meet as we are simple people and … Continue reading Sugar Beet Harvesting in Montana
The Ups and Downs of Traveling
It's been one year since we've been on the road and so far we've been to 25 states. My favorite states we've been to so far are Colorado, because it was just so lush and green, and Texas, because...well, I just liked Texas. Now, my least favorite state was Alabama. (Sorry to all the people … Continue reading The Ups and Downs of Traveling
Reflections
We have been on the road for almost a year now. In trying to find the right word to describe it, I chose: interesting. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been having the time of my life. I will admit though that parts of the trip are hard. Living in a small space with three other … Continue reading Reflections
Summertime
Summertime Blues just hit me. Not because of the weather as I do so enjoy the crispness of the autumn air and the beautiful colors the season brings with it. Here in Montana (where we are working a sugar beet harvest until mid-October), it's almost as comparable to Maine.....almost. But let's be factual here. Living … Continue reading Summertime
