Buckle up, folks, because we have some miles to cover and some great songs to settle into that plush 1973 bus seat (yeah, I scrapped mine out of a junkyard in New Jersey so they don’t fit quite right). We have a healthy dose of tunes to get us across The Grand Canyon State.

The concussion
Both Miracle and I have hit our heads whilst living in our bus. It’s a part of life, I suppose. We’ve heard the rumors that the number one injury in the navy is bonking your head on the low doorways and we figured we still have it more comfortable than those making their lives underwater.Continue reading “The concussion”
Mornings in the mountains
The past week has been surreal. Each morning we wake up in a different place, which is not at all unusual anymore. But the environment and weather varies wildly in the deserts and the mountains. It’s disorienting and exhilarating.
Playlist: New Mexico
State number 31 for us and one of my all-time favorite places. I went here as a kid and then as a teenager. I’ve been back several times as an adult and I always find something else to fall in love with. The red dirt and blue skies. The hoodoos and rivers and adobe buildings.Continue reading “Playlist: New Mexico”
Terlingua, TX

I’d sit at my desk at that last miserable job I had and take Maps vacations—find a locale and start clicking through the route I’d take to get there, look at people’s photos, and read their reviews. (For those of you clamoring to return to office culture, let’s notContinue reading “Terlingua, TX”
Illness on the road
Vanlife is not what AAA would have you believe. Sure the ads they post on Facebook with the shirtless guy and the woman who is always inexplicably holding on to her big, floppy hat make it look like something from a glamor shoot. They drink coffee from mugs and he has a little teak trayContinue reading “Illness on the road”
Missing snow
As I scrolled through Facebook (a time suck, I know), I saw so many pictures of familiar locales and people I know who are lucky enough to have gotten a little bit of snow. Both Miracle and I love snow. I mean we really love the snow—long hikes in it, driving in it. Whenever weContinue reading “Missing snow”
Yes, hello? I think the future is following me.
Deep Creek Wine Cellars, Maryland
In the upper left corner of Maryland is an all-too-well-kept secret called Deep Creek Cellars. In a land abounding with sweet wines, Deep Creek has a variety of dry, elegant vintages that rival the revered California wineries of Sonoma.
The end of cicada season
I am writing this blog post ahead of schedule. Yes, I know it shatters the illusion that every three days I sit my ass down and peck out some post just for you, dear reader. I am writing this post at the height of cicada season in mid-June. Outside my office window I can hearContinue reading “The end of cicada season”
