Returning to the blog, 10 month overview

I'd like to start off by apologizing for our absence. We have been very busy traveling, working, exploring and meeting all kinds of new folks along the way. The blog will now be morphing into just that, more of a blog, rather than a chronological timeline of our adventures day to day. 

(southernmost point; Key West, FL)

I'll begin with a general overview of our travels over the past 10 months, then go into much more detail about the individual trips and lessons learned along the road in other entries as we go. There will be blog entries about ways to travel, food, entertainment and tips and tricks for traveling as well.

Being I already have your attention, I'll begin the 10 month overview now. We left off headed to the Florida keys to vend the big pine key flea market. We did exactly that and met some amazing folks there, that welcomed us to stay on property with Alice in the future. I'm looking forward to writing the Florida keys food and entertainment blog entries to come.

We then ventured north through mainland Florida, stopping for a few festivals and skoolie meetups along the way.

We delivered a customized djembe drum to a dear friend in Kentucky, drank some Bourbons and explored the parks before continuing through Ohio and into Michigan for festivals along the way.

We toured Michigan's upper peninsula for a few weeks hunting for rocks and whitefish sandwiches along the coast of lake superior. Meeting up with 136 other rigs at a skoolie gathering up there.

After the upper peninsula we traveled the coast of the great lakes back toward New York and as far east as Massachusetts and Connecticut for the fall festival season.

We plan to be making regular blog entries going into all kinds of details and stories we have discovered on the road full time for more than one year now. Follow Alice_the_skoolie on all social medias for more. Thanks for tuning back in.

Mid March

As we cross over the ides of March the weather stays warm and we hammer down on creating more inventory and finishing up a few more custom orders. Carmen has been receiving packages almost daily for the bus build. We have many parts and tools lined up for the 5 hour trip south to go fetch the bus. That being said we officially have confirmation from the Vermont DMV that our paperwork was all approved and our plates are in the mail. This is a massive step in the beginning of the bus conversion. The registration is a massive step because it solidifies our bus being recognized by government as a motorhome. Now that our bus is recognized as a motorhome there are no restrictions on licensing or weight requirements. Meaning that if you have a regular driver's license it is legal for you to operate our bus without a commercial drivers license (CDL).  #VTAF Red shouldered hawk eyeing the chickens We have a few things we have to do before the journey from homestead fl back h...

Upper Peninsula, Michigan

We crossed the Mackinac Bridge (pronounced Mackinaw) from the lower to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan in late July 2021. This bridge is much larger than most suspension bridges beating the famous San Francisco suspension bridge in length. Making it the largest suspension bridge in the western hemisphere.  (Mackinac Bridge, between the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan) The U.P. is rustic backwoods living. Many of the roads being unpaved and populated with side by side off road vehicles. Alice was a bit out of place on the hours long dirt road trips north to whitefish point and the mouth of the two hearted river, but out of place or not she got many "thumbs ups" from passing drivers and made the trip without issue.  (dirt roads of the U.P.) Whitefish point is at the top of whitefish bay, about 15 miles from the Edmund Fitzgerald wreck. We found an amazing little eatery that serves the days fresh caught bounty of Pike breaded and fried to perfectio...
