Goodbye Lake Koocanusa Today’s the day we leave Lake Koocanusa, outside of Eureka, Montana, where we’ve been for two weeks. Two whole weeks! That’s longer than we’ve stayed anywhere since we were in the Florida Keys this past winter, and it’s longer than we’ve stayed anywhere boondocking (without any connections to water, sewer, electricity). I’m […]

3 Days, 670 Miles, a Casino and a Brewery
From when we left the Airstream factory at 5:00 pm on Friday night and headed to Iowa (we’ll pull into our destination campground around noon today, Sunday), we will have driven about 670 miles, which is way more than normal for us. We really want to see our friends in Iowa! Just a couple of […]

Leaving Today!
I’m writing this before we drive away, but most likely you’re reading it after liftoff. Airstream Name We’ve decided to name the Airstream, “The Firefly,” after Josh Whedon’s TV show. Yep, I know Firefly is the name of the class of the spaceship, whereas the actual beloved ship is called Serenity, but Serenity happens to […]
