In this "prequel" we help get you up to speed with our transition to full-time travelers and the challenges we face with making this huge life change.
In this episode we struggle to sell everything and go fully mobile in time to meet our schedule for the Arctic Adventure. More behind the scenes efforts in part 2 of our "prequel".
Stress is getting high and tempers short as we move into the Turtleback Trailer FULL-TIME! More behind the scenes efforts in part 3 of our "prequel".
We take a break from our Arctic preparation to attend the Turtleback Trailers Herd Event in Death Valley and give our new modifications a shake-down test.
Day Two of our 2018 Death Valley Herd of Turtles expedition continues with a trip to the Ubehebe Crater, Tea Kettle Junction, The Racetrack, and a descent of Lippincott Pass Trail!
We wrap up our visit to Death Valley some some relaxation in the hot springs as the enormity of our full-time travel decision begins to sink in...
We wrap up our Death Valley trip and return to Phoenix for some further preparations for our new lifestyle before heading east...
Hard choices, unexpected health issues, compromises, and sacrifices take their toll on our journey to the great white north... We truly didn't want to do this.
Relax, kick your shoes off, have a glass sweet tea and enjoy a bit of life on the farm as we visit with family and give Caroline a taste of East Tennessee before striking out on our biggest adventure yet!
This is it! This is our beginning, our southernmost point in a journey that will take us north to the Arctic Ocean and beyond... but trouble is brewing.
We team up with the Get Lost Box family and make our way west to Overland Expo West... BUT FIRST we need a side-adventure into the Gila National Forest to explore the Cliff Dwellings and more!
We wrap up our side trip into the Gila of New Mexico and make our way towards Expo West... and one of the greatest shows we've ever been a part of!
We hit some Arizona trails with a good friend in search of EPIC CAMP! (Exceptionally Picturesque Inspirational Campsites... or something like that...) just wait til you see what we found!
We make a mad dash to Phoenix for some game-changing modifications before striking out north... to the Arctic Ocean!
Our trek north continues with a tour of the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, crowded parking lots, a lookout tower, and the world's largest horseshoe...
We head deeper into the Arizona wilderness in hopes of finding solitude and a moment alone with the wonder known as the Grand Canyon.
