Elverson, Pennsylvania

June 5–8, 2022

I picked French Creek State Park, south of Reading and west of Philadelphia as my home base for what I thought would be plenty of adventuring. Unfortunately, between a stultifying two-day work training session, rain, and gnarly traffic, I ended up doing almost no adventuring. I had plans to go to the Mütter Museum, the Eastern State Penitentiary, the Magic Gardens, and more, but those will have to happen another time.

I did, however, buy a used violin on OfferUp from a sweet college freshman named Kenny Yip who no longer needed his student instrument, and I’ve started sawing away and trying to learn. I also nearly finished the vest I’ve been knitting, saw a very old and cool car in the parking lot of the campground bathroom, and was able to document the absurd way my dogs sleep with/on me every night, so it wasn’t a total loss.

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.
