After quite a few months away from New Mexico, I'm excited to return to off-grid life in the high desert! 🏜️

Getting to this spot was quite the challenge. We managed to get the rig stuck in the sand (twice)! I've also never seen more mosquitos in my life... 🦟🏖️⁠

The new truck camper is the least stealthy rig I've owned. It DOES NOT blend in well at all!⁠
⁠
But I still tried urban camping with it... New video linked below!⁠

Our little home on wheels!⁠
⁠
We finally got around to making a full tour video of our van. 🎥

Our DIY Self Build Off-Road (on a budget) Camper Van! We've wanted to do this tour video for a while, so here it is! This is our vintage 1995 4x4 Toyota Hiac...

Just doing Florida stuff 🐊⁠
⁠
This camp did kinda feel like we were in the middle of a Jurassic Park movie. Fortunately for us we didn't encounter any dinosaurs (or alligators). ⁠

The road isn't always easy...⁠
⁠
On our way south we ran into a few problems with the camper setup. Fortunately the van is OK (but we were scared for a second!).⁠
⁠
We'll be back in Florida soon. I'll likely be overhauling our solar power system and starting from scratch. New video out now!⁠

We woke up to a frozen van... ⁠
⁠
The cold weather caught us off guard this time. We were just minding our own business and venturing into the mountains of Virginia for one last leaf peeping mission. ⁠
⁠
Suddenly it was below 20° F all night. It was so cold that we had ice forming INSIDE the van.⁠
⁠
I think it's time to get to Florida!! New video out today. ❄️🍁⁠

Peak-a-boo! 🎃⁠
⁠
🍂 Photo credit goes to Shannon on this one 📷 ⁠
⁠
We stopped on the side of the road to capture some of the gorgeous foliage. We've been doing that a lot, as my recently acquired passion for autumn has yet to subside. ⁠
⁠
At this particular moment I was in the van hopelessly searching for a lost lens cap or something.⁠

Loving every minute of autumn this year! And it only seems to get better as we travel south. 🍂⁠
