Chewacla State Park Waterfalls in the Van
I had to look back at the last time I went to Chewacla State Park specifically to photograph the waterfall, and I was shocked that it was way back in 2011, more than 10 years ago. The images from that day are so different from the ones I just captured, and of course it was…

Camping at Gulf Shores State Park
We got a big tent and we went camping down on Gulf Shores State Park. It was a short hike over the road to the beach, which was cold but very nice, we had a great time and I was able to get some great photos while we were there. Gulf Shores has always been…

Bus Living with Minus 30 Degrees Outside
Ok, this is what I would consider an indication that it is cold outside. If that doesn’t convince you, look at the (cold) hard facts. The dogs think it is cold too and they both insist on sharing the same chair. I think this is the warmest spot in the bus for them. It is…

Camping in the Snow in Reno
On one of our treks across the country to work a show in California, we decided to take a few days and stay in Reno. The snow was beautiful and we were camped near the airport where we could see the planes constantly coming and going. You can see in the photos below that we…

Bought New Old Ford F-150 in Outer Banks
Somewhere between the Outer Banks, NC and our campground in Chocowinity we were able to pick up one of the best vehicles we have ever owned. We were in desperate need of a vehicle for quick trips into town, etc. and found a Ford F150, standard transmission, from the 1980’s on Craigslist (I think). They…

Cold Outer Banks Beach Camping in the Bus
In 2002, it was still possible to camp/park near the beaches in the Outer Banks, NC. These are a few shots of a quick trip we took over from the Chocowinity campground in the bus to test out a few things and just to see the beach/ocean again. It is always calling us, regardless of…

Taking a Bus Conversion on a Ferry
One of the interesting (and sometimes scary) things about owning a very large vehicle, like a bus, is the question that always sits in the back of your mind: Will we fit in or under that? Usually, the question comes up when you are looking at bridge clearances. However, in this case, we were taking…
