Traveling and living in a bus, of course has it’s ups and downs. Here’s an earworm for you, the wheels on the bus go round and round…Seriously though, my bus is 30 years old so there are some things that will always need replacing, always need fixing, and are just out of the realm of being fixed because today’s mechanics are of the mind, if you can’t plug it in, I don’t know what to do for you.…

I know, I know I’ve been neglecting this blog to update you on where in the world I am. Hey, life happens. Presently I am in Port Lucie, Florida with my bus, enjoying the 80 degree weather while back in Wisconsin, where I am from, they are ‘enjoying’ the winter weather and lots of snow. I don’t feel in the least regretful to get out of that. This winter I didn’t leave Eau Claire, WI until almost…

One thing about traveling in a bus is how curious people are about it. Most assume, since I park at a lot of libraries, that it is somehow connected with the library, especially if they happen to see my steps, dresser, or curtains ~ all contain books! Watch future videos for those tidbits, in the meantime, see what I did to let in air, keep out bugs, and the nosy nellies who were quite…

Today I posted on my YouTube channel an actual video (I know, I know, I’m slow at doing all that) about the steps involved in me insulating and putting in a floor. Please like and share and help my channel grow by subscribing.

Today I got a knock on my bus.  The dreaded knock, right?  It wasn’t what I thought it would be though.  When I finally got up to check it out, a man was standing outside the side doors, waiting patiently.  He introduced himself as the owner of a local hotel and he had noticed my bus in his parking lot. I immediately got defensive and asked if he didn’t want me to park there anymore and that I…

A year ago today, I left my house of 20-some years that I had packed up and put into storage, and hit the road. I packed my clothing, blankets, and a few totes, as well as my camping gear in my Rav4 and left. Some would say that was madness, some would say how brave, some would say, “Wow, what an adventure.” They would all be right. I was so unhappy, for so long, in that house that all the bad…

Well, living out of my little RAV4 was a bit chaotic. I couldn’t for the life of me get organized. Plus, Doc, as I called my RAV4 (because my book Doctored paid for it ~ Best-seller, check it out), has developed rust-rot. Due to being located in Wisconsin for so many years, the salt on the highways ate at the poor vehicle and rusted out the bottom. Two mechanics recommended I get rid of it…

I had to drive late into the night for some personal business reasons and I couldn’t help but take these pictures of where I ‘ended’ up. Oh my, I had no idea what was around me when I stopped at the rest stop for the night. Mount Adams was visible that morning Mount Rainier was visible as well. These were the Selah Cliff’s below me.

It was amazing out beyond Forks and Ruby Beach and further into the peninsula. The trees are more dense than any I have ever seen and they continue on up the mountains. I have to come back to camp here and take more pictures, perhaps video. Follow along and enjoy. I didn’t take pictures of the harvest areas because the devastation was so disturbing, but at the same time, some of it was…

After all my traveling, I finally could smell the Pacific Ocean, clear, without anything but the trees in the way and I soon hiked down to get around them and see it once again after all these years. It smells different. All the bays and inlets, it wasn’t the same. This was pure Pacific and I really breathed deep. Looking at all those logs that I had to climb over to get to the beach, all I…

Let me state up front, no vampires were harmed in the taking of these pictures. No, I didn’t SEE any vampires that know of… Gnomeville, Forks, Washington State

This sign always alarms me! Didn’t know this was an issue here! This is the view I woke up to on the 2nd day! WOW! Look how thick those woods are! Overlooking a lake It’s so beautiful out here, have to come back camping!

Look at how lush the trees are up here! Isn’t it beautiful? And the randomness of the mountains before me, it’s amazing. Up in Blaine, Washington, looking across at Canada Rockhound paradise?

I decided to take a drive the other day, and thought you’d enjoy the pictures of this 24 mile stretch of the coast. I wish the camera could convey how winding this road really is. The pull-outs are something. Please, if you brought it into the forest, take it out with you. Litter is so disgusting! I also cannot show you in a mere camera shot the steep incline there is along this coast. The…

I have travelled for 5 months now.  During that time I’ve learned a lot not only about myself but other people.Today I had the opportunity to help someone.  As I was driving by a strip mall I saw a camper with its hood up.  The universal sign of, hey I’m having car trouble.  They also happened to have jumper cables sitting out, which told me they probably needed a jump start.  Now Doc is not a…

Last night I watched the most gorgeous sunset.  It wasn’t the sun itself that made it gorgeous but the place I found myself in.  I sat on a park bench next to a pond and I fed the ducks. Now I keep corn and sunflower seeds in a bag in a tote in my car.  I rarely feed them bread because processed bread is bad for wildlife.  Although I grew up among ponds we fed our ducks and geese and birds all…
