Thank you! I worked there for a month shy of eleven years. My manager could not wrap his mind around me quitting so we could live in our van and travel. Lol. It is the best! Are you still traveling fulltime??

The Oregon coast was amazing. I cannot even begin to explain how good it felt to sit in the van and watch the sun set over the Pacific Ocean. We were doing it. It was really happening. After Descend on Bend, we pointed East. We had a trip to California planned, and would be flying out of SLC...

So between November of last year, and August of this year, we finished prep of the van, stashed more away into our savings, and hit the road. I know, I know. That's hilariously over-simplified. But when I get into the interior setup and the buildout, I'll go more into the work that it took to...

We brought Jupiter home November 19th, 2023. Incredible turnaround, given what V had done. We hibernated over the winter, and little progress was done on the van. It was a looong, cold, snowy winter in Utah. So you know, a normal winter lol. In April we took her down to Monument Valley for our...

Just like that, she was done. And it was an incredible journey to get there.

Life went on while our little home was under the knife in California. We went to Descend on Bend in August, New Jersey in September, and I planned a trip to the Dollhouse in October. The Dollhouse is deep in the Maze district of Canyonlands National Park, and I took the Cruiser on a solid end of...

July 28, 2023, I picked up our good friend Chris at the butt-crack of dawn and we headed West. Well, South, then West. Lauren and I stripped the rear interior in our driveway two days prior to this, and Squirrel was ready for us. Driving through Vegas and the California desert in July was...

January 6, 2023, we bought two one-way tickets to Portland, Oregon to pick up our future home. We were immediately in love with the plucky little van. And the plan was already in motion for how we were going to build it out. Have you ever heard of a small shop in Long Beach, California...

"Well, I put in my two weeks." Hearing those words from my wife Lauren hit me like a Miata hitting a brick wall. We already had the van. The camper conversion was basically done, save the electrical portion of the build, and we had spent the last two years preparing for this moment. But when she...

Two years of planning, prepping, and building. And we FINALLY hit the road.

Depended on the day! Haha

Agreed! Can't wait to get back!

My wife is absolutely a sun flower, and with that comes a deep love for sunny days on her birthday. So we drove as far south as we could in an extended weekend. Well, looks like we didn't go far enough. :LOL:

All 3 were primitive spots, north of Canyonlands, in the Gemini Bridges area of closures.

You're not wrong, unfortunately. My top 3 favorite places to camp West of Moab are shut down. Gotta get while the gettin's good.

Super rad! What was your favorite camp spot?

Thank you! I can't wait to get back out here with my better half and some friends. It's an excellent place to get away from the crowds.

Couldn't have asked for a better weekend in a better place! And thank you, she's been a great old truck.

High on my bucket-list for years, the Dollhouse has always eluded me. Permits and camp reservations, combined with a tough work schedule made this even more elusive. But I finally did it.

Just in case anyone wanders back into this thread, we've had our HiAce for not quite a full year yet, and we're absolutely in love. This was the trip bringing it home: And our last camping trip in it before she went under the knife to get a camper conversion:
