Our departure day of leaving our home in Missouri to go out West to attend Overland Expo West 2018 is fast approaching. We’ve been busy preparing and planning. With each trip we take, we get better at planning. When we go on these trips, we also take along our office so that we can work …
#013 – Keeping Things Powered | Our Solar Set-up
Solar is an important part of our work from practically anywhere lifestyle. In this episode, Robert and I talk about our solar set-up and how it has evolved. Talking watts and amps is definitely above my pay grade. Robert is in charge (get it “charge“) of everything to do with solar. I have no clue, even …
#012 – Oh Deer! Trip back home from Overland Expo
Our main lesson we learned from our trip East this year was that two weeks was entirely too fast. It’s not about the destination, it’s about enjoying the journey. Even though we felt the pressure of meeting the deadline to get back to our home base, we made sure to take some time off work …

#011 – What We Did at Overland Expo East
It’s been a couple of weeks since we’ve returned from Overland Expo East and we realized that the trip was entirely too short. Sure the event was only a weekend, but we certainly like to take our time making our way to the event and coming home should be just as slow. We had a …
#010 – Stuck and 50 Miles from the Nearest Town
We are doing something different for this episode. When we were at Overland Expo East a couple of weeks ago, we met James Henry. We were campground neighbors and fellow volunteers for the event. He and his wife, Amanda, went on the Transamerica Trail last year. We thought we’d share some of our conversations we …
#009 – We Made It! | Getting to Overland Expo East
It’s not an adventure unless something goes wrong, right? Well, we wouldn’t say things went too wrong, but the fear of a tire flying off did put a spark of excitement into our trip. Have a listen to our little adventure we had getting from Missouri to North Carolina to attend Overland Expo East. We were …
Roadside Repair
The elusive humpback green turtle made it up many mountain passes over the past few days and has gone many, many miles. We’ve been keeping watch, and although the temperature gauge would creep up a bit while idling, it quickly returned to normal. It wasn’t acting quite right, but we didn’t see anything wrong under …
Overland Expo West 2016 – Our Recap
This was our first year to go to Overland Expo. Last October, we were just off by a week in our schedule to attend Overland Expo East. That was OK, because a hurricane was going through the east coast during that time and pummeled the event with rain. It was last October, however, when we …
Day 6 — What Time Zone Are We In?
We needed to stay put for the day and work on a deadline for a client. With lightning fast Internet we made great progress. During a work break, we took a hike on the property down the mountain to a creek. Pretty steep hike, but wonderful! It’s good to get the ole’ heart a pumping. …
