There’s only so much daylight.

Getting the Van to a point we can use it in Mexico has taken more time than I would have liked. Part of the problem revolves only having so much daylight. It’s been cold here in the morning, so I manage to avoid going outside to work [read more...]

As usual, we were hustling to get on the road for the RMAF convention in Billings, Montana. I had spent the previous two weeks solid building out our 2004 Dodge Sprinter Cargo Van. It was previously owned by a baker in Albuquerque,NM and a dry cleaner before him. It had 118,000 miles on [read more...]

We fly back to Tucson in the morning after a two week visit here in Maryland. We had a great visit with my mother, Hil’s parents, and childhood friends.

We spent about a week working on our 1995 Toyota Landcruiser getting her ready for the big trip. The specifications state the Landcruiser [read more...]

Long title, I know.

We are ecstatically pleased that we have already been approached by several fairs for new and re-booking contracts in 2012! This is both surprising and a good affirmation that we are on the right path. We’ve made improvements along the road this year that have really made the attractions more [read more...]
