As our 2019 travelling was winding to a close (if only because 2019 is winding to a close), we needed to solve a couple of problems. First and foremost: Where to leave the Bus while we are home for the…
UNWELCOME Stalkers
Our route towards Houston circumnavigated the city of Dallas. We arrived there with about 4 hours on the clock, so it was time to stop. We had a choice – stop Mid-Dallas-ish (there was a Walmart in the town of…
So Cheesey it Belongs in Wisconsin!
We departed Albuquerque to begin our slow march eastwards. We have an “appointment” in Daphne, Alabama (near Mobile) to have our favorite Truck Mechanics, Lazzari Truck Services, put hands on RV WHERE YET. Lazzari was one of our first experiences…

Calgary…with Kharma Fully Intact
Our path south next brought us to Calgary. Calgary was definitely a city one should approach without expectations. It has been hit hard by the oil economy, which is affected by LOW prices and also by Canada’s energy policy uncertainty.…
Banff and the Icefield Parkway
Our next stopover was the town of Banff, where I had managed to reserve a spot at a Parks Canada facility in town for 2 nights. This was no small feat – it is coming up on Labour Day Weekend…
