We are out here at Nomads in the Desert in Scadden Wash. Paul Chapman is out here doing what he does best- spreading love, kindness, and full bellies with his Traveling Samaritan kitchen. He is serving up sausage sandwiches, pulled pork sandwiches, and 1/2 and full rack of baby back pork ribs. We were fortunate enough to snag some ribs, sausage, and baked beans! Our tummies and souls are blessed. Please save yourself from cooking a meal and help support this amazing man with such an amazing mission. Your tummies and hearts will be grateful!

Skooliepalooza 2026 is a wrap! We had so much fun, as always. Sebastian was up with the sunrise, and down before campfires lit the night sky. We played trucks in the dirt, made new friends, and finally got to play with ones we’d looked up from last year! Thank you to everyone that loved on us! Our true desert fam!

As Buses by the Bridge is coming to a close, we wanted to share something special. We noticed yesterday that our spare tire cover was missing. Saddened that someone in our community would not only steal from someone else, but physically remove it from the actual bus, we shared a post about it, alerting others to be mindful. of gifted us a new tire cover. There are bad apples in every bunch, but we were reminded yet again why the VW family is so awesome. Thanks Zac! We will put it on AFTER buses 🤣❤️
