#vanlife

The wind picked up last night as we were approaching sleepy time. This caused a fair amount of van movement. Noticeable, tolerable. But sadly, the wind was at the front end of a cold front. Slept in, perhaps rocked like a baby all night. Have I ever mentioned that sometimes being in the van feels…

Well, the wind blew something fierce last night, but thanks to heat exhaustion we slept pretty well. I’m not complaining about heat. Just how relatively unaccustomed we are to it right now. With the change to DST this morning, I got a relatively late start to the morning walk. I ventured out along the various…

In the middle of the night, or, sometime before us clamming up for the night and emerging the next day, we got neighbours. Our Deluxe Premium sight was back to Premium. No worries, we were heading out today. Morning walk was the opposite of yesterday. I went east on the beach rather than west. In…

Pretty good night sleep. Was quiet at our end of the RV “Resort”. We ran the A/C through the night cause tin can is hot. Don’t believe the propaganda, there is no useful insulation in these vans. Morning walk was along the beach. It was about a half km to get to the beach and…

3 AM, I feel zen. Imagine it is 0342 (that’s 3:42 a.m.) and it’s muggy and hot. You are plugged into electricity and have this massive rarely used air conditioner on your roof. Who wouldn’t wake up their spouse and turn on the A/C? We all would, it’s just fair game! We joined the chorus…

(now with pictures) Caddo Lake is a pretty cool park.  The site that Mrs Milddogs picked for night #2 was great. It was so cool backing onto the bayou, even if it lacked gators. We had some rain in the night but nothing that woke us up.  We had discussed an earlier than usual for…

Nice to not have to migrate far today. Shout out to some great neighbours / friends back home. This is them tag-teaming our driveway after the big snowfall we conveniently avoided. Pretty good night’s sleep last night. You can hear the 2 lane highway not far from the campground and the train tracks. I don’t…

TEXAS! Since we have some bars of 5G here I have updated the earlier posts with pictures and more gooder English words. Beautiful quite night last night. Sleep was had. My morning walk at the previous spot was fine. They have a decent trail system mostly up on that ridge. As we had discovered the…

A good night sleep in a relatively empty campground!   Morning walk was mostly along the campground roads with some trails.  Since we had minimal connectivity I couldn’t look up trails on AllTrails and we did not get a map when we checked in.  Well, there was no checkin, we just went to our site….

Cabelas was super quiet.  We were a bit concerned as we were parked beside a few tractor trailers and a large Class A  motorhome.  All quiet.  The wind died down enough by 2300 and sleep was ours. On most days, I naturally awaken between 0500 and 0630.  This morning, despite the darkness and the stress…
