After weeks of decluttering, donating and downsizing, we finally arrived at our deadline to move out of our home in San Francisco and into our RV. We were actually a day late, as we were still scrambling to get everything sorted before we took off, but we managed to have our final dinner in the […]
We woke up to a cold morning outside–and feeling a bit worse for wear after getting a poor nights’ sleep parked on a slant on the side of the road (I could have sworn my dreams were about me rolling downhill). Sheila was able to see the goats, rooster, and dogs in the farm we’d […]
We took a few pics in Tahoe (Zephyr Cove Resort had a hilariously relevant “No Glass No Dogs” sign for their beach), and drove deeper into Nevada, marveling at the mountains, and the vast expanse of land, valley, and sky. It’s incredible to believe that a mere two days ago we were in crowded San […]
Waking up after a fairly mediocre night’s sleep (although better than the previous two nights), I realized that the vehicles next to us were 2 large, expensive RVs from folks who were clearly traveling together. No, they weren’t crazy folks, but I certainly need to get used to people parking near us to sleep! Tonopah […]
We woke up to a beautiful, warm and sunny outside! In the daylight, we could see that all around us folks were boondocking, and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out so we weren’t not too close to each other. After Lisette took a client call in the morning, we headed to […]
Rather than rushing into the day, we had a leisurely breakfast and spent time on our campsite reading and relaxing. It was rather windy so we sat outside on our camping chairs, rugged up sipping hot tea and coffee. Sheila was hilarious–despite us putting down a rug for her to lie on top of outside, […]
Red Rock Canyon is Nevada’s first National Conservation Area. Located in Nevada’s Mojave Desert, it’s well-known for its red sandstone peaks, Native American petroglyphs, and its spectacular views. One of the most awe-inspiring aspects of Red Rock Canyon is the Keystone Thrust Fault, a prominent geological fault that formed about 65 million years ago that […]
We woke up to the sun already coming up quickly over the horizon, so after walking Sheila first thing in the morning, we started to make breakfast and Lisette (given the earlier hour) was able to roll out her yoga mat and do some stretching. She hasn't done any yoga since mid December, and she […]
Lisette woke up the next morning around 5.30am and took Sheila for an early sunset walk around the perimeter of the RV park, as other travelers also started their day. After breakfast, we realized that our black water tank was leaking… not a good sign. We had fortunately booked to stay at an RV park […]
We took our time in the morning ahead of checking, thinking we had a generous noon departure time, only to find out that it was actually 11am when the RV manager came over. Whoops! We rushed to leave just after 11.30am. Lisette didn’t really get to see much of the RV park as she stayed […]
We woke up at the Goodwill parking lot in Kingman. Lisette was able to sleep the whole night, although Michael didn’t get the best sleep as there seemed to be someone pushing a shopping trolley near us late at night, and a lady was screaming randomly outside. It was also still very, very windy–and cold! […]
It felt like we slept in, despite waking up at the still-respectable time of 7.30am after a not-so-great night’s sleep. The trains shuttling through Williams are incredibly loud–beyond the chugging of the wheels, they all seem to blare their horns as they whizz past. Unless you are a deep sleeper it’s not the best for […]
