my name is kenny. if you wonder about my screen name, just google that song and after listening a few times you'll know where my heart lays.
van life started early for me. camping with mom in a new 77 dodge van with a 318 and 3 on the tree, at age 8. we built a bed in the back packed coolers and camp gear under the bed tossed in a few extra cushions and we were camping. though it was only a get away, it was also the daily driver for mom. she ran a home daycare. lots of day trips to parks and the beach.
mom n i traveled a lot of places in our old van, yosemite, colorado, sedona az, and many places inbetween. as i got old enough to drive i got to solo on occasion. my first big(ish) solo was san diego to fort collins co for a NOAC at age 18. i still have that old van and may be putting her back on the road in the near future.
i have traveled in many riggs over the years. from the van, jeep, sailboat, 4runner, 4door sedan, and lived in geo metros, the van, and for now a minivan. I ave been a full time "van dweller" the last 2years but only moved up from the metro to the minivan about 3 months back. since then ive covered some 14,000 miles living and exploring.
at this moment I am anchored in the san juan islands aboard my sailboat doing a lot of kayaking and just relaxing and living free. though tomorrow I head off into the mountains of washington chasing the elusive morel. then im off to the southern oregon coast fishing, kayaking and foraging.
I look forward to both learning and sharing here and I hope you all will join me along the way, figuratively if not in person.
