Centreville, Virginia

November 22–24, 2021

I camped at Bull Run Regional Park for two nights, since I knew I would be heading back to Oakton for Thanksgiving and wanted to stay in northern Virginia to avoid a hairy commute on Wednesday. The park was just so-so, with leaf blowers running nearly constantly (why are leaves the enemy at a campground?!) and lots of traffic noise. I intended to take the dogs on a good stroll around the park’s trails, but I got my COVID booster on Monday afternoon (the day I arrived), and then, in a freak coincidence, threw my back out while casually leaning over to toss a tissue in the trash. Who knew I was so fragile? As a result, I spent the remainder of my time in Centreville laid up in bed. It did give me time to knit myself a new hat with yarn I bought on a visit to my old favorite Looped yarn shop in Dupont Circle while I was visiting Tera and Dave.

About Me

I’m a graphic designer, musician, and editor whose job went remote in March 2020. In mid-2021, I sold my house, bought a camper, and decided to hit the road with my two dogs. My homebase is Vermont, and I’ll return eventually, but for now I’m going mobile.
About My Camper

For the first few months of my trip, I was driving Pierogi, a 2014 Toyota Tacoma, and pulling Donna, a 2021 Sun-Lite Classic 16BH camper. Partway through the trip, though, I realized I love this life and wanted to up my game, so I traded in my sweet little setup for a 2022 Thor Sequence camper van, Vincent Van Go(gh). Less in the way of vintage charm, but he rides sooooo fine.
