Petrified Forest National Park was something else entirely. We pushed ourselves making sure we saw as much of that place as we could with the time we had available. It will definitely be one park we come back to. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #petrifiedforest #petrifiedwood #petrifiedforestnationalpark #findyourpark #dodgevan #standbyyourvan #ramrod #homeiswhereyouparkit #homeonwheels #homesweetvan #vanlifers #vanlifejournal #vanlifetravels #vanlifestyle #vanlifeexplorers #travelamerica #seeamerica #roadtrip #roadtripamerica #lessismoreoutdoors #roamfree #letskeepitwild #rei #rei1440project #optoutside #themodernoutdoorsman #sheexplores #coupletravellers #traveltheworld #nationalparkphotography #mytinyatlas #livingtiny (at Petrified Forest National Park)

We’re taking things way back to the first time we met our blue beauty. In previous lives, she was a church van for two different churches, the latter of which was in my hometown of Sullivan. That’s where the “van” on the side came from. After retirement, she came back as a work van before finding her way to us. We like to think we gave her a renewed sense of purpose, a new life. She’s treated us well, so we try to return the favor. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #throwbackthursday #throwback #van #vanlove #vanlifediaries #vanlifers #vandwellers #vandwellercouple #standbyyourvan #dodgevan #invanitrust #tinyhome #tinyhomeonwheels #homeiswhereyouparkit #ourfirsthome #travelcouple #vanlifecommunity #travelamerica #seeamerica #choosethepathlesstraveled #themountainsarecalling #betheadventure #advanturers #experiencesoverthings #selfmade #projectvanlife #bigdreams #homesweetvan #homeonwheels #lifeinmotion #seetheworld #lessismoreoutdoors #simpleliving #livingwithless

Arriving in Arizona back in January couldn’t have come at a better time. We had compiled a laundry list of repairs needed for the van. Finding a place to park is great. Staying with family is better. Family having tools and mechanical/electrical know-how is even better. We were looking at thousands in repairs had we hired a mechanic. Instead it was only hundreds for parts. This is what we replaced/fixed in Arizona : 1. Power steering 2. Radiator 3. Front Brake lines 4. Front brakes 5. Tire rotation 6. Oil change 7. Transmission pan gasket and filter 8. Replaced the horn and fixed several lights Luckily, this was all for the time being and it wasn’t anything worse. ( pictured here is Thomas and his dad ) we found the green jumpsuit at an estate sale just a few blocks from his dad’s house. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #realvanlife #vanlifers #vanlifediaries #vanlifejournal #vanlifestories #vanlifetravels #vanlifephotography #projectvanlife #bigproject #dodgevan #homeonwheels #homeontheroad #homesweetvan #tinylife #tinyliving #tinyhomeonwheels #meninuniform #fatherandson #family #lessismoreoutdoors #optoutside #themodernvoyage #travelers #vandwellers #lifeisshort #oldiesbutgoodies #fixerupper #selfmadevans #vanlove #standbyyourvan #vanproject #selfmade #madebyhand #betheadventure #lifeinmotion #exploretheuncommon

Better believe we’ve done our fair share of very cold nights / mornings in the van with no heat. That’s why we’re hanging around the southern part of the U.S—because we don’t want to end up like this every night. . . . . . . . . . . . . #realvanlife #vanlifers #vandwelling #livingontheroad #livingonlove #lifeofadventure #betheadventure #optoutside #rei1440project #beatthecold #winter #icanseemybreath #homeonwheels #vanlove #vancrush #projectvanlife #vanlifetravels #vanlifemagazine #vanlifemovement #vanlifestyle #homeiswhereyouparkit #notmeantfortheweak #onlythestrongsurvive #awakenthesoul #campervan #sleepinavan #homesweetvan #standbyyourvan
