It’s a travel day! We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Quartzsite, AZ with our vegan tribe. Faith restored! Alas, it is time to move on and continue exploring this beautiful country.

We had intended to spend a night at Skooliepalooza OG but we heard the quiet section is really crowded with lots of loose dogs. We really wanted to see the pirate bus and chill out with great music – maybe we’ll drive back from our next campground.

We are staying near Palm Springs, CA for a week and a half where we will get to spend time with friends. Our campground is right next to the freeway and train tracts so it’s pretty noisy but we saw roadrunners in the campground so that makes up for the noise.

We took the boys for a walk around the campground and relaxed. Later, we hung out with Jen and Cindy. They are so much fun to talk to and we really enjoy their company.

Our friend family – Taylor, Charlotte, Jen and Cindy – came over to our campsite tonight. So good to hang out with the whole crew again. The boys love Jen and Cindy and appreciate their big chair.

We hiked the East Indio Badlands Trail with Jen and Peter. Marcel stayed with Cindy. Taylor met us and hiked for a little bit with his dog, Dexter. It was a great hike along the San Andreas Fault Line. We enjoyed the areas where you had to climb up rock crevasses.

Just enjoying the view from our campsite. The sky is so blue and the temperature is just right.

We went to Palm Springs for the Village Fest with Cindy, Jen, Charlotte, and Taylor. The Main Street was closed to vehicles and lined with vendors. It was a lot of fun especially with this awesome group of some of our favorite people.

Our friend family came over to hang out. After this campground, we won’t see them all again until the summer. We are just so thankful to have met each of these lovely people. It’s rare to meet people and feel perfectly at ease without any judgement.

Two vegans and two vegan dogs traveling the country in a camper pulled by a Tesla. We love being frugal, cooking from scratch, exploring, hiking, and meeting fellow vegans.
