Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

May 18–19, 2022

I only spent a short time in Oklahoma City, just enough to meet another grad school friend who I’d only ever known via Zoom, Monique Ortman. We ate barbecue sandwiches and took my boys to the dog park at Joe B. Barnes Regional Park, near enough to the military base to hear the famed Oklahoma City “thunder” many times. I spent the night stealth parked in a very fancy neighborhood, but because the night was sandwiched between two 90º-plus days and I wasn’t able to plug in, the dogs and I did not sleep much. The next morning, I stopped in the Paseo arts district for lunch at Picasso Café (which has a special menu just for dogs!) and strolled for as long as I could take the heat before hitting the road again. I was sad to miss the Museum of Osteology, the American Banjo Museum, and other interesting spots, but my plans have to change when it’s too hot to leave the dogs in the van. Oh well—next time!

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.
