(More pictures and a vid on my blog: http://www.chongolio.com/skoolio-the-1990-gmc-vandura-3500-school-bus ) A few weeks ago I spotted a new listing for a short bus on Craigslist that looked promising. After an inquisitive phone call, Skidog and I made plans to drive up to Shady Grove, Oregon...

Thanks Although not my first choice, I cannot help but be intrigued by the possibilities. My original plan was a van and trailer, but now having to use trailer money to replace my wrecked E-150 I have been scouring CL for another van since my wreck in Feb with nothing to show. However, a...

I am going to hopefully test drive the van next week when I get back to the states. My uncle,who knows a thing or two about engines of all types, has looked it over and says this rig is in pretty good shape. It is also priced under my budget of $5000ish I am not afraid to wrench and would...

I’ve decided on using Washington as my home state because of it’s proximity to family in Oregon and the lack of income tax among other things. I did nail down a physical mailing address but don’t want to burden my friends any longer than needed with dealing with my mail after I get my driver’s...

Ok, the last of my videos of last summer’s road trip from California to New Mexico and back is now up on Youtube. This trip, along with the one to Alaska, were the sparks that rekindled my vagabonding fire and got me motivated to hit the road full time. Here is a link to the entire playlist...
