I’ve been back in my home base city for a few days now and I forgot how much lighter of a mental load it is knowing exactly where to go for everything, easy places to sleep, not needing GPS. It’s a lot easier…just not as fun 😄

I turned 48 on Tuesday and I treated myself to a little cottage for a couple of nights for my birthday. Why does it feel like cheating when I don’t sleep in my van and have it parked outside?

The life of a van dog. His brother gets most of the attention because he demands it and refuses to share. Rob waits patiently for his turn. Seeing him run on the beach for the first time a couple of years ago made me so happy he’s able to have so many new experience

My birthday is in 8 days. Currently in OK and need to be in MD by 5/1. I’m trying to find a cool spot to celebrate between OK/MD. I can go almost anywhere yet nowhere is speaking to me. I wanted a fine vegan dining experience, I must have vegan dessert at very least 🎂

There’s only one cure for the Sunday Scaries - a clean van!

One of my reasons for wanting to do van life was to avoid cold weather. I don’t think I’m doing it right if I am waking up to snow in Texas.

Story time? I guess that’s what this is

I don’t normally like staying at campgrounds but if you throw in some disco balls, I’m there // Art City, Tucumcari, NM // @hipcamp.bsky.social

I’m perplexed by @bsky.app and @skylight.social - is there a way to post only to one and not automatically to both? I don’t like that they automatically sync, I was surprised to log into Skylight for the first time and see all my posts from BS that contained a video

My first official E2E post here that isn’t a carryover from BlueSky.

So yeah, I create van life content if that’s your sort of thing and would love to see this become my main platform.

I find it truly entertaining that I posted this on Friday and was laid off Monday. I’m so glad I posted it before all that footage went to waste 😆

Rio Grande Gorge in New Mexico. I was planning on driving up to CO but it’s still too dang cold. Killing time in NM.

My first uninvited critter in the van experience! I had a nice BLM spot in Santa Fe and woken up by what sounded like scratching inside the walls. I said F this and drove to the nearest parking lot. Either they never made it in or the washboard roads shook ‘em out. Haven’t heard since 😌 #vanlife #rv

I was underwhelmed with Red Rock Canyon (sorry) but Valley of Fire exceeded my expectations. I’ll bring my son when we fly to Vegas for a family reunion now that I know how impressive it is and convenient to Vegas. He’ll❤️‍🔥it

The last place was one of my favorites but the winds were so bad (30mph) for 2 days we couldn’t fully enjoy it. Of course the day we left was gorgeous. I’ll be back

A little Petrified Forest National Park in my PFNP sweatshirt

I heard Sedona isn’t the most van friendly and thought it was an exaggeration but I kinda agree, it’s not the best. I was also surprised I couldn’t bring my dogs into the state park at all even if they stayed in my van.

Regardless, got in some good hikes outside the park

I guess I was really lucky to get this BLM spot the first night in Sedona because the 2nd night was a clusterf*ck of too many people trying to cram in the few blm spots

Sprinter, Transit, or another Promaster?

~ sprinter: 144 is too short but 170 is too long, least interior width, repairs are $$$

~ transit: ground clearance is way too low and it’s too tall by the time you add solar and AC

~ promaster: size/usable space is 👌 but quality is 🚩

I like this app. I’ve tried so many new or up & coming social apps in recent years and I’d almost immediately forget they exist. I like it here and never forget to drop in

Oh, and, I was in the Grand Canyon today.

Just when I think views can’t get any better I see this. I’m just so grateful I get to do this that each view feels like the best one ever.

Don’t ask me how, but I accidentally ended up in line to enter Zion National Park (seriously) but I’m sooo glad I did. It’s stunning! But I’m confused bc I read you HAD to use the shuttle right now but I was able to drive through the whole park? I wasn’t prepared to stop though :/
