Living and working off the grid in the Mojave Desert has its inherent challenges but the COVID-19 pandemic has become our main hurdle.

To date, I have written over a thousand pages in my travel journal. Although some days are slower than others, each day is an adventure! We are in our seventh year of being nomadic volunteers and plan to be for the foreseeable future.

When it comes to exploring the world, some choose to take the road less traveled – and two of the more popular options for road warriors include either an motorized RV or a pull-behind trailer.

Our guide on winterizing your RV will help get you ready to put your trailer into storage over the winter or head out for a cold-weather camping adventure.

For the past 6 years, Kurt and I have spent our winters volunteering for National Parks in and around the Mojave Desert.
