About My Van (aka Mobile Cabin)This page is a summary of articles outlining my journey over the years. As I look back and read through the articles, I realize I allowed life to get in the way. My new motto is, "If not now, when?" I'm not getting any younger, so I had better make the best of it. 
2023Can you hear the crickets? Nothing much has been going on this year. I can't believe that half the year is over and I haven't done anything or gone anywhere. I've been too caught up in everyday life. I've got to remedy that!
2022
No matter what it has to offer, we've got to do our best to survive and make the best of it. You know, that old make lemonade out of lemons thing. So, I'll be writing while I'm making lemons out of lemonade this year:
2021
We are experiencing a new normal.
20202020 Was a heck of a year! The COVID pandemic did much to change our lives. Not only did it force us to quarantine and stay at home, it also increased interest in the RV/Van/Nomadic lifestyle. 
The demise of my beloved 1999 Chevy Express coincided with the onset of the pandemic. Here I was with a vehicle that would not pass inspection and in dire need of a new set of wheels. Pandemic or not, I needed to find another conversion van. While folks were hunkered down and afraid to leave the house, I continued to search for a replacement ride.

Well, we survived 2021. Good riddance 2021! Now let's see what 2022 has to offer. I'm hoping it's got nicer things to offer than 2021!
The pandemic did much to change life's landscape. There is an ever-increasing number of people willing to try nomadic living. Folks are moving from the city in droves.
