Hello everyone, Dustin’s account has been restricted for reasons unbeknownst to us and since his account was linked to our business account, not only will his personal page be fully deleted, our business page will be as well. By some luck this Sasquatters page is still available to us, though it looks like our Sasquatters Instagram page has been deleted as well. We are confused, mad and devastated to loose a decades worth of memories and personal contacts. It also means we’ve lost contact with all potential clients we have been talking to, all our business reviews and pretty much everything we’ve worked so hard to build up over the years.

If we have been talking about building you a bus, please reach out.

We made our way back to Pennsylvania over the holidays for a much needed visit. We were overjoyed to see all our family and friends that we’ve sorely missed the last 10 months. On our way back south we passed through a winter storm, luckily only for about an hour or so, but Dustin still had to navigate through about 3 inches of snow on the highway. Luckily, this wasn’t his first time driving the bus in snow and we avoided being one of the 10+ accidents we passed.

Our time in PA flew by and naturally we didn’t take near enough photos. Here’s the bus lookin’ like the little tank it is at our taco pit stop and a couple with some of my favorite folks. Oh, and of course, one of Manx looking like an absolute babe while rolling down the highway.

Excuse my grin, it’s not often I get to coddle the succulents in this planter box. We recently had the dash apart to do some home maintenance (post on that soon) and it meant removing my plant babies. All but the tall succulent in the top left have been with us since moving into the bus, persevering and flourishing through the many environments and changes we force upon them. In the beginning, there were many more varieties that just didn’t make it. It was trial and error and eventually these ones kept on keeping on and sort of took over, so I let them. I am obsessed with these plants!

Our 3rd stop on our National Park tour was Canyonlands. It was, of course, amazing. The wildest thing to us is how vastly different the landscape is between Canyonlands and Arches National Park being that they are less than 30 miles from each other! Geological diversity is just another reason to add to the list of reasons why we love the southwest so much.

We thoroughly enjoyed the motorcycle ride to Canyonlands, riding out onto the Island In the Sky mesa almost made it seem like you were in the Midwest on flat terrain, until you reached the edge and could see you were surrounded by canyons. The couple hikes we did were also really neat, especially the Aztec Butte trail where you could see two ancestral Puebloan structures!

Canyonlands National Park might not be at the tippy top of everyone’s list, but I assure you, it should not be overlooked. Especially if you are making the trip to nearby Arches!

The spot we stayed at in Moab was so colorful at dawn and dusk 💜

Our 2nd stop on our little tour was Arches National Park, where there are over 2000 documented arches to be seen. Some are enormous and tower over the landscape, others are so small, they are easily missed. We only spent two days at the park but the arches we did see were really freaking cool.

When we are at places like this, we really try to wrap our minds around how the geography came to be. It took millions of years of weathering, erosion and even salt migration to form the arches and it’s so incredible to see the results.

The most well known arch, for obvious reason, is delicate arch. The hike to it was so neat, we did it twice! During the hike, there are some amazing rocks to be seen if you’re the type to notice those sorts of things, we are a little nerdy, so we definitely noticed the chert that was sprinkled around on part of the trail. After some research we learned it is specifically, chert from the Tidwell Formation and it was SO pretty! The hike also offered a sizable uphill stretch on a huge rock face and some stretches of hiking on a narrow cliff, which is always exciting. Once we reached the arch, it was so windy that it was too dangerous for people to be hanging out inside the arch, so we were able to get some photos people free, which we are always happy about!

Our week staying at the campground in Menifee really treated us well. We met some really awesome people, they led us to going skydiving (more on that later), and honestly, I think the whole experience came at such a perfect time for us. We needed to be reminded to let go a bit and let what will be, be.

So, we’ve got fresh new plans that involves Dustin working about 1,800 miles away from where we were in Southern California, which obviously means another big move for us. With our 1 year wedding anniversary coming up in early October, we decided to take a couple weeks for ourselves to travel around and really cross some things off our bucket list. We are especially thrilled to be out staying on BLM land again, as that is how we envisioned traveling when we were building the bus!

We are currently visiting Bryce Canyon National Park and it is everything we dreamed of and then some! I know these next few weeks are going to fly by, so we are trying our best to slow down and enjoy every moment.

We out here at the pool!

Seeing our bus in a campground is not something we see often! We are parked up in a spot in Southern California for a week while we try to figure out what our next move is. So far it has been a real treat. It’s been so hot and so dry since we moved to California and all we’ve wanted to do is go swimming, so we will be spending time in the pool every single day until we leave!

Our beautiful mountain top spot in Anza went south really quick on Wednesday when the land owner, whom we thought we became pretty good friends with, decided he wanted to double the rent and overall went a little looney tunes on us. Naturally, that all happened after we took the front of the bus apart to replace the fan clutch. So we stayed up until midnight and got it all back together and rolled on outta there first crack of daylight. I’m INCREDIBLY pleased to announce that the bus ran fantastic and the fan was kicking on to high when it should, so our overheating issues have been resolved! Otherwise we would’ve never made it out of there with the current heat wave.

We are still reeling from the whole ordeal. It’s such poor timing for us all things considered, but once again, we will be fine and figure it all out somehow. There’s a chance we might be leaving the west coast and while that is nothing short of devastating to us, we gotta go where the opportunities are.

So for now, we are going to party in the heat with these kind campground folk, hopefully squeeze in another beautiful hike and get ready to roll out again soon!

P.S. How gorgeous are these bluegum eucalyptus trees?! 😍

A few photos from our trip to Santa Monica and Venice Beach we took recently. We really enjoyed exploring and snacking the day away before heading to Inglewood for the Billy Strings show, which was absolutely incredible! Photos from the show are not mine, they are Jesse Faatz amazing photographs. I just never end up taking photo’s of my own at shows anymore.

Hey y’all, in the spirit of being 100% real, as we always aim to be, here’s a “brief” synopsis of how things have been going for us…again.

I, Holly, lost my job today. Due to workforce reduction. I always considered my job so secure and so perfect for us as I worked remotely. That all changed in just one zoom meeting. The company I work for has been slowly downsizing and it had not really touched my payroll department, until it did. I unfortunately, was the one with the least seniority, so got the axe. I figured it out before the call, but I am still devastated. Severance helps, but again, honestly, we moved from Northern California to Southern California with the prospect of buying and running a water well business. That fell through about a month ago.

You know what this makes me want to do? Hug and kiss our bus and appreciate the living s**t out of our lifestyle. Had we moved down here and bought a traditional house, we’d be fukt, with a capital F.

Obviously, things aren’t great, but they could be so, so much worse.

There’s a chance I can slip back into a remote job through some contacts I’ve made, and that would be awesome, but everything is very much still up in the air.

Until then, let’s have a 10am shot, regroup, have a laugh and a quick cry and press right the hell on. Things will workout, they always do. Even more so because we have chosen to live this weird, unconventional lifestyle. Thank you, !

*Dustin is filthy because he’s been working his ass off fine tuning the bus because we *maybe have someone interested in buying this beauty 😱
