For those keeping track, this is our 4th attempt at adventure vehicle. Many people wonder why, out of all the myriad vehicle choices, we’d choose an ambulance. This post will attempt to explain why an ambulance may be one of the best choices out there for inexpensive overlanding vehicle. [Dachary adds: inexpensive overloading vehicle for us. […]

Traveling with dogs We’ve traveled long distances with dogs in a sidecar to Colorado, and Nova Scotia. We took them in a Vanagon to Arizona and around most of the continental US in a Subaru Outback. We’ve slept with them in tents, in the Vanagon, and in many hotels. So, we’ve got some experience. Here’s […]

The Backstory I’ve been stressed at work. I’ve needed to take a vacation for a while, but life has conspired against that. My last plan was abandoned due to us finding and buying a particularly nice house, and you kind-of need to be around to fill out all the paperwork. Dachary’s going to a conference […]

Buffalo, NY to Cambridge, MA (kay) I was awoken to the sound of 20-something chattering far too loudly in the hall outside our door. I so wanted to stick my head out and say “Really?… _REALLY?!” but I was naked. Eventually they wandered off, but soon thereafter Lita started staring at me. So, I got […]

Rock Springs, WY to Lexington, NE (Dachary here) We drove. A lot. And had to keep stopping, because after yesterday’s unpleasant digestive issues, I was paranoid. I didn’t want a repeat of emergency pooping in a field somewhere. Also, the dogs had run out of dog food, and the only pet food store we could […]

Winnemucca NV – Rock Springs – WY (Kay) We got up early today because we knew we would be crossing a time zone and loosing an hour today. Just outside of town, we started commenting on the curious cloud that had been pushed down along the mountain range before us. Then, we found ourselves driving […]

The Internet wanted us to route to I-80, and then take that across the country until it becomes I-90, and then take that home. While […]

I tried stopping at one of the coffee shacks that seem to be so ubiquitous here out West (it got good reviews on Yelp, but I probably wouldn’t have picked it if I’d known it was a coffee shack) but the […]
