    I thought the purpose of Van life is leisure travel. You seem to be in somewhat of rush. You have missed some great spots. Slow down and enjoy the sights of this beautiful country.😊 Stay safe.

    Indian cooking always starts with the spices in the oil. It blooms the spice, cooks out any inpurities, and as it mixes with the oil it infuses with the food so much better!

    It’s definitely not dangerous to pull over in heavy rain, matter fact it’s actually the safest thing to do. As long as your hazard lights are on.

      @@earlinebeaman684 I’d love to leave Florida. Been here since 1984 - almost 40 years - Yikes! It’s the season for Rain, Major Heat, and Awful Humidity which leads to chronic migraines for me. I’ve been planning to leave Florida with my service-dog-in-training, but realized my Chevy Equinox is too small for both of us.🙁 So I’m now looking for a van. Wish me luck!

    We want our Gurl safe. Keep looking on the WEATHER AIR QUALITY! The smoke from Canada is hitting all over the further North you go. They say to use the a/c sparingly because the filters clog and put the nasty air through. As an asthmatic I keep track. Be safe. Blessings.

    I believe I would see about getting a comparable generator at a Colorado location! You should be able to use EVERYTHING in your van!
    I hope you used a new fork to eat with and hopefully not the one you used on the raw chicken! Too risky in getting sick!!
    We are definitely having some summer temperatures here in Texas! This week high 80’s and next week even 90’s and a couple of 100 degree days ahead! Welcome to the heat!

    What you are doing is called blooming the spices in the oil. Dry spices are fat soluble.. they don’t flavor well without it. I can’t believe you drove that far and then cooked. Lord! Why such a rush? So many cool places you flew past on that epic drive. 😂❤
