#vanlife stories
Realized on this trip we entered Texas through Texola and exited through Texico. True story. Pretty good night sleep in the municipal park near the little lake. At some point somebody drove past us slowly with the music blaring. We used about 2% of our propane capacity keeping the van warm last night. When I…
Every seasonal time change I get the Chambers Brothers song “Time Has Come Today” stuck in my head. I first heard that song in high school when a friend (Jeff Pierce) played it for me. Jeff also introduced me to 10 Years After. If you are out there, Jeff, I hope you are well and…
Lovely night sleep. Furnace kept us toasty while it dropped below zero C outside. I turned on the tank heaters around 0530 for a bit but that was probably not needed. I headed out for the morning walk towards the big cave. Ambient temperature was -1 C. It’s a combo of short stints on various…
Yup same location as yesterday. Well technically, same park, different campground. Was a wonderful night last night as we went to sleep listening to the coyotes. No traffic noise. No people noise. Temperature dropped through the night but the furnace on its lowest settings kept us plenty warm. Morning walk was along the Kiowa trail….
Just a lovely night sleep at Lake El Reno RV Park. While we could hear traffic, it was off in the distance and was more like white noise. A light drizzle began I commenced this morning’s walk but I decided to ignore the light rain and keep going. I walked along the wonderful concrete sidewalks…
Beautiful night sleep at the Valley Country Club. Thank you Harvest Hosts. Morning walk was down into the valley and then back up. My watch recorded only 68m of elevation gain but it felt like a lot more than that. I stopped to take some pictures. Post walk we hit the road headed for home….
Howdy. I bet you thought we would have had a terrible night sleep. Turns out Travis ran out of steam at around 2130 and went silent. The crowd of his wife and the other lady that wandered over seemed appreciative of his stamina having played for about 2 hours. Miller Lite is apparently the fuel…
Another lovely morning at Assateague Island! Morning walk was towards the National Seashore part of the island. You can walk into the national park gratis, but have to pay to drive in. Was warm, but not too warm and sunny, too sunny. Did not see any horses on the walk but did see this mommy…
Oh what a glorious start to the day. We slept with the windows open on the southeast side of the van and that allowed sunrise to peek in and wake me up. I had a nice look for a bit and then closed the blinds to get some more sleep. No pictures cause, well, I…
It rained last night. It was lovely. I got up at unknown o’clock and closed the windows and overhead vent to keep the rain out. I was so stealth that Mrs Milddogs slept through my futzing about. Good job me! Morning walk was slightly delayed due to the rain. Eventually I just went out in…
