I did an interview with the tech news website ArsTechnica about the costs and benefits of installing solar panels on our home in Denver (which we now rent out) and the article just went live a couple days ago: https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/02/solar-power-is-it-for-you/. It isn’t really RV related but we’re still pretty proud of being featured and we’re… Read More Solar on our House
This past weekend we took a trip to Squaw Valley near Lake Tahoe to go to our friends’ wedding. We had a wonderful time! The ceremony was beautiful, the reception was fun, we got to catch up with a number of friends we hadn’t seen in years and it was all around a wonderful time.… Read More Snowed out of Skiing
One of the hardest things for us about living in the RV was that we had trouble getting to know people. We always were “in town for a week or so” so we never got to meet the same people multiple times and really form close friendships with them. Now that we’ve been stationary, we’ve tried… Read More Getting to Know People Again
First off let me say that we write this blog because we enjoy it. We love sharing the cool places we’ve been with friends and family and blogging is an easy way to do that (shout out to Allison’s Grandma Martha who gets a printed copy of all the posts and shares them with her… Read More Under the Hood of an RV Blog

Since Nik and I like the snow too much to head south for the winter, we have winterized the RV and… Read More Winter Plans
I ended up kayaking a fair bit this year and it was really interesting to do new runs almost every single time I was out. Now that winter is coming, the whitewater season is coming to a close but below are trip reports from all the runs I did this year with info about meeting boaters and other sections in the area I’d like to go back and do.… Read More River Log 2016
I am a type A person. I like to know what’s going on so I can plan for it and prepare myself. I like to have some say over my days and my routine. On good days, these traits make me organized and on-top-of-things. On bad days, they make me controlling and unable to cope… Read More How Full-Timing Taught Me Flexibility
When we were preparing to hit the road, we knew we needed WAY less stuff. We got rid of almost everything and embraced a minimalist lifestyle, which has been great for RV life. Some of our ideas about what RV life would look like have ended up being different than the reality. So, what things… Read More RV Stuff We Really Needed: Gadgets and Technology
