These are posts from my trip to Missoula, MT and back. I haven’t added everything yet but continually add new posts. I really enjoy writing about this trip after the fact because I get to relive it as I write, dig up old pictures and research some of the facts of the locations I visited.

This was my first roadtrip that lasted more than two weeks and it went very smoothly. I saw so many new places and had so many new experiences as well as meeting people from all over. I enjoyed working and living in new places making me feel happier, healthier and even more engaged with our home office.


(Note: Some of these posts were migrated from my old blog platform. I’m going through all of my posts and updating the formatting, however, I have not gotten to some of the older ones yet. So formatting might not look so great.)

To “I Can See Canada” and Back – Jul/Aug 2021

July 29 to Aug 2, 2021

I had been promising a trip to see my friend from college for a few years, but the timing never lined up. So a took the opportunity to continue testing out the vehicle and I headed north to Vermont for that long awaited visit. Although it was only five days, it was a great trip with lots of experiences and I made an adventure out of it. My campsite at the northern most point of the trip looked out across a lake at Canada.

Here is a continually growing list of blog posts from my this trip to Vermont…. and some pictures until I actually put up a few posts.


    To Indianapolis and Back – June 2021

    Leave Boston, MA – June 9, 2021
    Arrive in Indianapolis, IN – June 14, 2021
    Arrive in Boston, MA – June 19, 2021

    I knew I had a week coming up where my girlfriend and kids were all out of town so I decided I’d get some more practice in with the van. I did some research and planned a trip up the Hudson River Valley. I was going to drive and camp from New York City all the way up to the edge of Canada, following the Hudson River Valley for most of it. Then, just a few days before leaving, I realized that this was the week my niece was diving in the Olympic trials in Indianapolis, IN. I had never had the opportunity to see her dive before so I pivoted and went to Indianapolis instead.

      Leaving Wilmington, MA on Dec 24, 2020

      Arriving in Charlotte, NC on December 30, 2020
      Arriving in Burlington, MA on January 8, 2021

      I was sitting home just before Christmas and decided to get out of town. My kids and my girlfriend were both away so I thought I’d head south and find somewhere warmer to spend the holidays. I reached out to my brother in Charlotte and after some discussion, I decided to head to Myrtle Beach where he would meet me for New Years Eve.
