We get a lot of questions—ranging from specifics about gear and rigs, to logistics and finances. But there are definitely some that come up more than others:

1. Have we slept in a Walmart parking lot? No. Mostly because we’re not Walmart shoppers. We are, however, Sierra Trading Post customers and did overnight at their headquarters/distribution center/outlet store. Walmart could not compare.

2. What’s the best place we’ve been? I used to equivocate quite a bit on this one. “Hmmm… do you mean the prettiest place? Or the most fun place? Or the place I could imagine myself living…?” I would ask. Then we went to Grand Teton National Park.

3. Where are we now? Lake McConaughy State Recreation Area near Ogallala, Nebraska.

4. Where are we headed next? With just a few weeks remaining to our time on the road—I’m due back at my desk on November 1—this question has gotten harder to answer. We’re talking about things we want to do and places we want to see before it’s over. As the name of this blog suggests, every day is Anything Can Happen Day. But it is near certain that the next few stops will be in Missouri.

5. Is it hard to get along when living in a small space? Yes and no. Speaking strictly for myself, I’ll say that some things require more attention (communication) while others are actually easier (coordinating schedules). I think it helps that I work several hours a day. It gives us some time apart mentally, if not physically. What probably helps the most, however, is that I really like my co-pilot. He’s fun to hang with, brings awesome skills to the team and we complement each other fairly well. On balance, I’d say it’s no more work than nurturing a relationship under “normal” circumstances.

6. How many miles have we driven? Just over 20,000 to date.

Thanks to everyone who has taken an interest in our adventure! We look forward to hearing about yours.

Stay: After more than a month in the mountains and a couple of days in urban campsites, our waterfront site at Lake Mac feels incredibly exotic. And it was so hard to choose! There are more than a dozen “access” points around the reservoir—some offering camping on the sand, others with traditional hook ups. We watched a large tractor pulling a trailer out from a sandy point, along the beach and up a small dune. I’m still not sure what to make of it, but it looked pretty sweet.

Eat: We discovered Juanita’s Tortilla Chips several weeks ago in Montana and have been hooked ever since. So much so, in fact, that we had hatched a plan to stock our cabinets before leaving the west. Unfortunately we waited too long and found ourselves outside Juanita’s range. Fortunately for us (and you) it looks as though Juanita’s can be purchased online. Sometimes it’s the little things.
