What These Little Yellow Flowers Teach us About Living

Written by Steve Johnson
After four weeks of living here at Joshua Tree South BLM, our fresh water tank has run dry. It’s time to pack up the toy hauler, and find another place to continue living our lives. Sash and I are still putting focus on remaining present. That is, staying in the now, and being more...

Casino Boondocking – Don’t Ask for Permission

Written by Steve Johnson
The bottom line is this: don’t ask for permission to park your RV overnight at a casino parking lot. Because once you announce your arrival, they’ll check up on you. This became apparent to us after a week into our stay at Morongo Casino in Cabazon, CA. We had arrived at their RV parking...

What Most People Don’t Understand About RVing

Written by Steve Johnson
So there we were, Sash and I, spending the night in our RV, at a rest area off Interstate 5 in Central California, with semi-trucks next to us, and the sound of cars speeding by along the super-slab. For most RVers, this isn’t camping. And that would be correct, it’s not camping. It’s just...

Getting the Winter Blues in Southern California

Written by Steve Johnson
A week ago we left 99 West Trailers in Sherwood, OR, and headed south towards Southern California for winter. The folks at 99 West had done some upgrades and fixes that we had been wanting, including new vent fans, new awning, a second air conditioning unit, new water pump, and replaced a broken window...

Spending the Next Three Weeks Alone

Written by Steve Johnson
I dropped Sash off at O’Hare International Airport last Friday (today’s Sunday). She’s in Anchorage, AK by now, visiting clients there. I’ll be on my own for three weeks. By then, I will pick up her at the airport in Portland, OR. I’ll be towing the trailer through Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana,...

Written by Steve Johnson
The 1st Annual ATC Toy Hauler Rally was held in Bremen, Indiana, from August 9-11, 2018. Turns out, it was a huge success, on many levels.

Boondocking on Private Property for Introverts

Written by Steve Johnson
Late afternoon winds finally picked up, bringing with it a 15-degree (F) temperature drop from the low-90s that had lingered for much of the day. A dark grey loomed to the west. The smell of rain could just barely be detected following behind the flocks of ducks pushing east towards Nebraska. Our trailer sat...

The Problem With RV Parks Today

Written by Steve Johnson
As of this writing it’s been 93 days since Sash and I last spent an evening in an RV Park. As full time RVers, we’ve made a commitment to not stay in them, and instead stay for free on BLM lands, National Forest lands, or other free, public areas. That is, if we can...

Why is it So Difficult to Find RV Parking in Denver?

Written by Steve Johnson
The last few reviews of Cabela’s in Lone Tree, Colorado posted on FreeCampSites.net seemed to reflect the same sentiment across the greater Denver metro area, that RVing in the Mile High City is not welcome… Though they have no problem with overnight parking, the city council of money grubbing politicians do not allow overnight...

Running Away From it All

Written by Steve Johnson
At one point, Sash asked me why I wanted to move out of a building and live on the road. I answered that I liked the feeling of running away. Her response suggested she was puzzled, and went on to say that she wanted to do this to see America. I guess, I was...

I'm a "Man in Black", one of those guys who goes around dressed in black suits, looking for people who were abducted by UFOs so that we can keep them quiet. Sash and I travel around in this trailer awaiting orders from headquarters for my next assignment. I can't show you the details of my work, but I can show you how I live.
