Tumblewagon



I just exchanged emails with Nathan from the Tumlewagon family. Their web site explains:




Welcome to the website of our life on the road. We’re a family of three, living in an RV and making our way around the country for a year or so.


It looks like their taking a grand tour of the country, all while taking on freelance web development projects. Love it!

Dick Proenneke

A few years ago I read the account of Dick Proenneke with great fascination and admiration. At age 51, he built a cabin by hand in a remote part of Alaska, then spent the next 35 years meticulously documenting his solitude with photography, video footage and writings.

His narrated video is available on DVD, and this clip is well worth a look if you have 10 minutes.
