Iguazu Falls- one of the wonders of the world!

March 13, 2023

  We arrived to the city of Foz do Iguacu, Brazil in the middle of a heat wave. I think I mentioned the heat and humidity that we were experiencing in the last post. But it was stifling in this town! We looked at several campsites around town, and settled on a grassy, treed camping … More Iguazu Falls- one of the wonders of the world!

The Journey Begins Again

February 11, 2023

We finally got everything cleaned up and packed up in the camper and truck. But the truly hard part was saying goodbye to our farm-family. These folks mean so much to us and took such great care of us.  But we have a journey to complete here in South America. Leaving Dois Irmaos meant that … More The Journey Begins Again

Returning to South America

February 2, 2023

  The changes in the world and the limits of tourist visa renewal in Brazil had sent us back to the USA.  We arrived in the USA in March of 2021 and traveled, visited friends, loved on precious grandbabies, bought land, bought and sold rigs and longed for our life on the road. But now … More Returning to South America

What is a Pie Town Playground?

January 14, 2023

Remember when we were house sitting in New Mexico? We shared a photo of a huge radio dish that appeared to be on top of our camper. That photo was taken near a geocache in Pie Town, New Mexico. Pie Town, New Mexico has been on Geneva’s mind for many, many years. She used to … More What is a Pie Town Playground?

Fat Amy goes to the beach

January 11, 2023

With an awesome rig completed, we were ready to grab some friends and head to a beach in Mexico with Fat Amy. This gave us an opportunity to return to our favorite little Mexican town, Kino Bay. We made an overnight stop in Magdalena. While there we visited the iconic church in the plaza. This … More Fat Amy goes to the beach

Slowcarfasthouse V. 3.0 (Fat Amy)

January 7, 2023

Are you familiar with the movie “Pitch Perfect“? If not, spend a little time and watch it. But beware, it is a musical, it is in a college setting and it is filled with silly double entendres, innuendos and goofy characters. One of those characters is Fat Amy. Fat Amy (the character) is a big … More Slowcarfasthouse V. 3.0 (Fat Amy)

Question – What to do now?

January 3, 2023

Answer – Housesitting and build another rig, of course! It’s 2021 and there we are, back in the USA with nowhere to go and nothing to do.  We took a housesitting gig in Prescott, Arizona and enjoyed it. So we applied, and were accepted for, another!  This time we were off to a small town … More Question – What to do now?

LANCE CAMPER- USA RIG 2.0 & 2.1

December 17, 2022

A little time in the USA reminded us that not everything needs to be supersized! We sold Big Bertha the Safari Trek and combined a Chevrolet truck with a Lance camper. Then the Chevrolet truck started giving us trouble.  So we sold the truck and transferred the Lance to a Dodge truck. This smaller package … More LANCE CAMPER- USA RIG 2.0 & 2.1

ARIZONA TIME- USA RIG 2.1

December 14, 2022

  We limped back to Prescott and got the truck fixed up enough to sell. Red Rover was just not up to the task. We started shopping for a new truck to put under the Lance camper. It didn’t take long to find the one we wanted. Meet HiHo Silver. Transferring the Lance camper to … More ARIZONA TIME- USA RIG 2.1

ARIZONA TIME- USA RIG 1.0 AND 2.0

December 10, 2022

  After cruising across the USA in Big Bertha, we faced a tough decision. Our friends in Prescott provided us just the space and opportunity to make that decision. They needed a house/dog sitter and we needed a place to stay! So we moved back to Prescott, Arizona! The view from my favorite sofa was … More ARIZONA TIME- USA RIG 1.0 AND 2.0
