A storm is brewing

July 17, 2016 Cameron Belscher

Ominous clouds in SoCal

For three winters in a row the tradition has remained the same. Visit all our BFF's on our way to the border, spend a few days gathering supplies, then pull an early morning crossing.

This time the sky itself seemed to inform us we were in for something new.

From Freezing to Overeating

February 18, 2016 Cameron Belscher

An open, clean, clear, and free road! A beautiful thing to fantasize about, but Jacqui and I weren't going to be seeing any of that soon.

High Speed Van Build

February 14, 2016 Cameron Belscher

After 9 weeks in the beautiful Columbia Gorge we were officially setting sail. Our time in the Big Red House was over and I was abandoning my boss at Mark's Auto to deal with the long line of cars needing repair on his own. Sorry el jefe, adventure awaits, and so does a friend in need.

February 4, 2016 Cameron Belscher

Sometimes a big red house and an eclectic group of housemates is the ticket to living on the road!

So in the great journey that is us staying on the road, we're staying put for a bit. It was finally time for us to take a lesson from so many Canadians we met south of the border: work hard somewhere you love while the weather is good, and get out of there as soon as it gets cold.

Descend On Bend - Dos

January 31, 2016 Cameron Belscher

Staying on the road full-time seems to be a true test of creativity. What skills do you have? How can you monetize those skills in a way to allow you to spend more of your life living and less of it working? When Jacqui and I figure out the answer, I'm sad to say, it probably won't help you. But if you figure it out, it probably wouldn't work for us either.
