Travel with our family

Join us as we explore the world in our carbon-neutral, 4x4 expedition vehicle called The EcoRoamer. We are happy to share our travel adventures, family memories and homeschooling experiences as we journey down the road less traveled.

Anyone been overland through Sabah?

Hi guys, We are off to Sabah in a couple of weeks for a brief trip with the kids from Kota Kinabalu to Sandakan. We love it there and have been several times before. However, this time is a little different. Since our last visit there, we have started The Muskoka Foundation (www.themuskokafoundation.org) – our […]

hi Guys, Didn’t want you to think I’d forgotten about you… The truck is current at Ross Equipment Repair in San Jose. Doug Ross, and his crew there have actually been amazingly helpful in trying to figure out what went wrong and how we keep it from happening ever again.

It was on the Howland Hill Road in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park – easily one of my favorite drives we’ve found on the entire North American Continent. I highly recommend it to anyone going through Northern California. You enter it at South […]

…and a crappy new year!

…and a crappy New Year! A word of warning to all of you writing threads on ExPo. This is what happens when you post bold statements about how great things are going, and what your plans are for the next 4 months: Christmas Eve in San Jose, CA. We were (luckily!) traveling at about 5 […]

Happy Holidays!

Hi all, Merry Christmas from the EcoRoamer crew! Thank you all for a wonderful year on this thread. I can’t believe we’ve been on the road for 12 months now, and have come full circle (sort of) back to California. Here’s a Christmas treat for all of you, created by Scott Featherstone, who we just […]

farny!

Hi Guys, There is a hilarious thread going on over at rv.net in which somebody accused me of being a “Maoist Commie”, based on a photo someone posted – THAT’S NOT EVEN OF ME! Anyhow, check it out here if you want to have a laugh, and then repeat: “I love Expedition Portal” 10 times before logging […]

What’s in your wallet?
