Chevy Chase, Maryland

November 20–22, 2021

After being completely solitary for nearly a full week in Powhatan, VA, it felt strange to drive back up to the bustling DC suburbs. Towing a camper on the beltway wasn’t as bad as I’d expected, but I’m not looking to do it again any time soon. I backtracked and braved city life to see my friends Dave and Tera and their nearly two-year-old twin boys, Jesse and Levi. We ate lots of delicious takeout (a treat for me after subsisting on camper cookery), went for a walk with dogs and babies, and played some cutthroat games of Super Big Boggle and Art Memo. 

On Sunday night, I drove up to Baltimore (sans camper) to see the Last Podcast on the Left live show at the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall. It felt a bit risky, but the venue required proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test to enter, and everyone but the performers had to wear masks the entire time. After having tickets to the Boston show of their ill-fated book tour (originally scheduled for April 2020, rescheduled to August 2020, rescheduled to March 2021, then finally canceled), it was very exciting to catch them, at last. (The room filled up a lot more after the photo I took. I just was an early bird getting to my seat!)

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.
