Birthday Girl
Monday was Kelly’s birthday and the gift she most wanted is to be carefree and happy.
Tonight she is off to a good start and I could not be happier for her.

Full-timing since April 2015 … Dave, Kelly, and our dog living and traveling full-time in our Airstream trailer.

Corporate security compliance training underway in seat 12C.. I suppose there could be worse places to repair a punctured bike tire on a beautiful day winter day. . . . #rodeolabs #wtbtires #traildonkey #goldencolorado. “Let’s go home” ... I said to Kelly before the sun had risen this morning. “Finally” ... she said to me. . Four hotels and countless restaurant meals later, this has been a productive trip for the two of us. But damn, we both are happy to be going home.Ten days into seventeen day, three city trip, something had to give. . . . #tenderloinsf #laundryday #saturdaymorning. When travel plans changed, resulting in our rental car return time eight hours ahead of our flight, it was the conveniently-located airport #hotelintercontinental to the rescue. . Breakfast was yummy and the lobby is proving to be a great place for Kelly and me to spend the day working before heading west to California. . . . #worktravel #officeview. It’s been years since I’ve held a job wherein I regularly commuted into an office. . Now that I’m doing just that and have settled into a routine, I find the 25 minutes spent riding to and from the office is easily one of the most enjoyable aspects of my day. . Riding home in the snow tonight, the air was chilly, but not too cold. The roads were slick, but not overly slippery. . The crunch of snow beneath my wheels was confirmation that commuting to work by bike does my soul good. . . . #commuterbike #biketowork #surlyogre #arkelpanniers #yawpcycleryUrban gravel . . . #rodeolabs #traildonkey #urbangravelUpgrading my office coffee situation. #coffeesnobAIRSTREAM FOR SALE . Kelly and I like to view our life as a series of chapters - one following another, as a prelude to the next. . About a month ago she and I began our current chapter, moving into a rental house here in Denver. This chapter will not be as long as was the previous, but will be an important one as we begin thinking about and planning our next move into a smaller adventure rig. . One aspect of the next chapter involves selling the Airstream, hopefully to an owner who will find as much joy traveling in comfort as we did. . The trailer is currently tucked away safely in our backyard. A detailed listing can be viewed on our blog: https://wanderingwithpurpose.com/2019/10/27/airstream-for-sale/ . If you are looking for a turn-key trailer, or know anyone who might be, please do take a closer look at our rig.Adult behaving like a child and loving it.First ride in Colorado in years ... a bit of groovy, technical flow dirt church on a Sunday morning. . . . #fruitacolorado #ridemtb #kokopellitrailsIn what seems like forever ago, last December Kelly and I applied for, and were accepted as summer volunteers at the #sawtoothnationalrecreationarea visitor center near Ketchum, Idaho. . Somehow, nearly four months have passed since our arrival in May, concluding what will have been our longest pause since launching into full-time travel 4.5yrs ago. . Today was our last day volunteering and tomorrow we say goodbye to this special area (and full hook-ups 😂).First proper bike race in years today - Rebecca’s Private Idaho gravel ride. . So fun. So dirty. . . . #rpi2020 #rpigravel #rodeolabs #gravelbike #ridemoregravel #ketchumidaho. Desperately seeking escape from the Chicago concrete jungle, a few weeks ago my buddy John inquired about flying out to Idaho for a visit. . As one of my long-time besties, bro-code protocol mandates I do all I can to show him a good time. Motivated to ensure his visit would be a good one, I immediately began planning a multi-day backcountry camping trip deep into the Sawtooth Wilderness Area. . It is humbling being deep in nature’s territory. The mountains are magnificent; they are bold and reign supreme. Wandering the trails, John and I felt small and insignificant. . Beautiful as any image may be, pictures simply do not fully capture the beauty of these remote areas. . . . #sawtoothwilderness #Idaho #sawtoothmountains #sawtoothinterperativeandhistoricalassociation #backpackingIt’s no secret I enjoy riding the hillsides of Ketchum, and I especially appreciate riding with others - something I rarely do. . Today I met and rode with fellow full-timer @airstreamarborist. . Love this nomadic community! 🚵🏼♂️⛰Archives
