Hi Reader! May went by in a whirlwind for us. This great loop to Michigan and back around has been amazing so far! We expected great things but it has been better than expected. If you've never been to the state and the places we'll be showing you in our videos, we highly recommend you do! What We've Been Up To Since our last email we released a few videos about our travels east from Colorado over to Michigan. First we spent a night lotdocking at a Walmart on our way through Nebraska. We...

Hi Reader! We hope you had a nice April & May is going well for you! Since our last email we finished making our way through Utah with a stop to explore so many amazing things to do in St. George. We'll have to go back there sometime and do more because it was another place that surprised us with the volume of great things to do. Have you ever been? Then we made it to Colorado and spent a bit of time in both the Denver and Colorado Springs areas. The best places to stay in both areas are the...

Hi Reader! We hope you've had a nice March! We left Oregon this past month after a long and fun stint moochdocking with family. Our last adventure there before heading out was checking out the Sterling Mine Ditch trail near Medford, where we could explore an old water tunnel that was used to bring water for hydraulic gold mining. After that length of moochdocking without full hookups, we took a week in a nice county park to do some chores and deep cleaning which was definitely needed! If...

Hi Reader! We hope you've had a nice February! We're still in Oregon, mostly trying to get some final RV projects finished and waiting on a few things in the mail before we continue traveling. Kevin replaced our suspension bushings and bolts which was probably the largest of the to-do's but is now accomplished. We had fun watching the Superbowl and celebrating Valentine's Day with family. On the YouTube front, we did a video all about the gear we most recommend any new RVers have when they...

Hi Reader! It sure feels like it has been a while since we've done a full travel video, but this week we're back at it with Redwoods National Park! It's within a couple hours from where we've been staying so we had to take advantage of being able to go. We made a day trip of it and visited both an amazing redwoods grove and the beach, which surprisingly are both part of the Redwoods National Park complex. This national park is interesting because it's made up of several state parks as well....

Hi Reader! This week we're back with some more RV life content and it's all about moochdocking! If you haven't heard the term, it's when you park on family or friends' property with your RV. It's typically free, or you're just contributing something for utilities used for example. You might have full hookups, no hookups, or something in between. It's kind of a funny term, but it's appropriate because you're mooching either just for the spot to camp or also other amenities. That's what we've...

Hi Reader! Ok that email subject line is a bit dramatic, but it is the end of something. That's right, we released our last video in our RV solar design series. Either you're sad it's over or you may be very ready for something different as this has been a multi-part / multi-week event! We hope you enjoyed this series and learned something helpful, and we'll be back next week with something else RV travel related. Here is the roundup for the week: We posted a couple YouTube shorts this week...

Hi Reader! So how many times have you already written 2021 when you meant to write 2022?! Now that we are in the new year, we're getting used to being in 2022 and I have to admit that I've made that mistake several times already. It is super cute though to hear our youngest say things like "I did that last year" meaning just a few days ago - as if that was so long ago! We did have the honor of being interviewed by Tailwind last year (which we use to create, plan, and schedule a lot of our...

Hi Reader! Happy New Year! We hope you had a nice New Year's Eve & Day. As we mentioned in our last email, we watched the NYC ball drop here on the west coast and were grateful for the earlier night. But we enjoyed some games, traditional German goulasch, and party hats (as you can see below) 😂. We wish you all the best in the coming year! RV Solar Design Part 3 This week we're on part 3 of our 5 part solar design series. This is our longest and most in-depth video of the series yet. It's all...
