Description

Welcome to episode 49 of LFTR where we’re talking about what it means to be stationary, our new home base, why we chose to have a home base again, why we chose this home base, and how it enables our continued adventures. Our travel recap this week continues with our time in Alamogordo, New Mexico and White Sands National Park. Highlights include:

* Waking up to roosters

* Everything is better with hatch chili

* Closing down White Sands National Park

* We’re not getting off the road, we can’t. The road is part of us

* But we like having a home town again

* If you have a window to do a thing you want to do, just do it!

* It’s surprisingly hard to stay active while traveling full time

* Road fatigue is real, especially when your travel is indefinite

* Is it easier to deep clean your RV, or just get a new RV?

* The PNW especially in the mountains is where all of us road/van lifers end up staying for a reason

* We think we actually need cold winters for our family

* Is the rat race over post-COVID?
