First RV Park is a Disaster | Rover Log 14

chris — Tue, 20 Oct 2015 21:30:03 +0000

After running down the latest state of the Rover leak project, Chris reflects on some of the things he enjoys most about where they’ve been camping recently.

Then join us as we move the Rover to a new location, that frankly, was a compromise too far. We picked a location for its convinces to work the kids. And for a few major reasons which become obvious in this video, we learn the hardware this type of RV Park is not our style of camping.

We finally made it to North Dakota! After blasting through Eastern Montana yesterday (10 hours of driving) and another 4 hours of driving across North Dakota today, we have finally reached Noah’s! Great burger and beer ensued, and a soak in the hot tub.

Now off to prep a few much needed shows that we will be recording this weekend from Noah’s!

Recording on the Road and Meet Hadea | Rover Log 8

chris — Wed, 23 Sep 2015 18:41:38 +0000

Our first full day in Montana was filled to the brim. Breakfast at Cracker Barrel in Missoula, boon docking for the day in Butte where Antrit found us via the Rover Tracker and joined in as we came up with some creative solutions to limited power and iffy connections.

Hadea takes a minute to introduce herself to the community while roaming around Butte, and then we are off to Bozeman, where we score a beautiful RV spot at a KOA camp and get free passes to the Bozeman Hot Springs.

Today started with a big challenge, perform the finally assembly of the mobile recording setup, in the Rover. The RV Park we stayed in overnight was selected for its good LTE coverage, power, water, and other nice things.

Microsoft had other plans for our mobile production today, I share those challenges and a bit of our trip into Montana, where we end up boondocking in a parking lot for the evening.

Be sure to read the Rover Rambler #2 (Patreon Exclusive) to get even more behind the scenes info out of this Rover Log!

Break Down Before Leaving Town | Rover Log 5

chris — Sat, 19 Sep 2015 18:16:49 +0000

I was completely blindsided by this one. I was worried about pulling the trailer over the pass, but breaking down on the way out of our camp site? Devastating.

Our first day on the road starts with a disaster, and ends with a bold solution.

Today fully tested my commitment to this new mobile studio, the Finding Linux road trip, and future trips.
