During our stay outside of Medora, North Dakota, we took advantage of the Every Kid Outdoors program to explore Theodore Roosevelt National park. Located in the Badlands of North Dakota, this park was an absolute wonder of history and natural beauty. The park was dedicated to Theodore Roosevelt, who we learned was a major supporter and facilitator of the National park and natural preserve programs in the US. We learned
On our way through North Dakota, we stopped just outside Theodore Roosevelt National Park and boondocked in the Scoria Pit dispersed camping area of the Little Missouri National Grasslands. This spot was right next to the tourist town of Medora. We were there in the shoulder season, meaning we were outside of peak, but the weather was still nice. What this meant for us was most of the town was

This week we finally launched for a “shakedown cruise”. A simple one-week trip to the Hoh rain forest to see what living out of the bus would be like, to be away from our sticks and bricks home and resources, and spot any major problems we might come across. It’s been a learning event for sure… Just on the outbound leg, we had a few minor catastrophes that could have
A lot of people like to only write about the good stuff, the victories, the happy accidents. Today, I’m going to tell you about some of the less pretty parts of our adventure to date. Yes, that picture up there is of our bus, in the ditch, at our home. This happened the night I had brought her home. It was my 1st time driving a vehicle this big, and
I’ve been asked a couple of times why we went with a bus, vs getting a super fancy (boogie) Class A RV. While I touch on it briefly elsewhere, I’ll go into detail today. It can mostly be boiled down to 3 major reasons. 1: Safety 2: Quality 3: Customization. Safety: RVs have always been fairly cheaply made; they are designed to be as light as possible but still full
