What do you know, the kids are old enough to go on a hike without being carried the entire way. We set out on a three-mile hike to Gorman Falls this morning in really cold weather, which was actually sort of nice. The kids had a nice time tromping down … Read More
Colorado Bend State Park
Yesterday we drove to Llano, a small Texas hill country town, west of Austin. Yes, we missed Austin yet again. I’ve lost track of how many times we’ve driven through Texas and somehow we have never gone through what has to be one of the most hyped cities in America. … Read More
Turkey Bend
We visited Fredericksburg today. As we drove down Main a guy pulled up alongside us and yelled out that he’d seen us on Tiny House Blog. He laughed and said that he’d just moved and had twenty-five truck loads of crap. The light turned green and he wished us well. … Read More

We finally took a few moments to get some interior shots of the bus now that it’s done—or at least nearly so. Here are the before pics. 1966 Dodge Travco Interior (Before)
Luckenbach

Travco Costs
Here’s what it took us to turn a nearly fifty year-old motorhome into our current home. Ali has managed to tally up the numbers on the Travco expenses. I guessed twenty-thousand and came pretty close. I’m pretty happy with that number. The bus turned out exactly as we had hoped … Read More
Texas BBQ
Bum friends had a BBQ today with us as the guests of honor. I have to say that I’m not really the most social guy in the world—the website is really my social outlet outside of my family, and even that obviously revolves solely around them—but these Bumfuzzle get-togethers always … Read More
Galveston
We drove Louisiana backroads yesterday, taking whatever squiggle led towards the coast. We eventually hit the brown water, then turned right to run west. As we were driving along we would see old abandoned houses and I would tease Ouest by saying how nice they looked, and asking if she’d … Read More
