we last left you in Flagstaff Arizona after a full day of exploring the iconic
landforms in the area we were in awe of Horseshoe Bend inspired by Antelope
Canyon and overwhelmed by the sight at the Grand Canyon
since then we have driven 300 miles south to Quartzsite Arizona for an epic
van life Meetup RTR is organized by the legendary Bob Wells and began back in
2010 with only 45 people it was estimated that over three thousand rigs
showed up this year today's journey begins here amongst the thousands of
others who choose to live the nomadic life good morning to you friends we're
headed out for our morning let's call it a DATE... or constitutional?
we're here at RTR and we've been actually posted up for a few days it's
been very cool a lot of like-minded people we're actually not at RTR let's
be real all right so we're the minorities here yeah it's kind of like a
few miles from RTR and the friends we were planning on meeting up with left
RTR and came here and we've kind of just really hustled our way into the
community the biggest reason we're the minority is everyone has a toilet and a
shower yeah so we're the only ones who do this walk of shame each and every
morning walk of shame I love going to the woods
last night we had a very intense game of mafia if you don't guess don't know
mafia is it's a card game where you basically just go around in a circle
accusing people of lying very very fun got a little out of hand as you can
maybe see from our band it's a little bit destroyed also we're vlogging on the
GoPro Hero seven can I get a whoa whoo I hope you guys like that I think the
just the easy bility of just firing this little girl on let me know you think
with the GoPro yes No como estas bien heh - it's being actually I'm feeling
like the most guilty Mafia member cuz I what she's the biggest promise okay
alright I trust you exactly this was our main squad here at Schooley Palooza I'm
going to quickly go around everyone's going to tell you where you can follow
them because they're all amazing people that's a huge compliment guys hey I'm
chase to you i Ventura bus Rosa is my fiance also to you I venture of us we
are Elizabeth and Adam Tasha's with the deliberate life bus I'm not under Sun
Venus with the school I'm Elizabeth little house in the highway and my
partner Richard private rude and I'm Aubrey I'm with adventures in
Huck Finn but it's Phin before we leave I just
want to show you chase and Maria first of all when I walked into their bus I
like have such a good energy about it but number two this is like a really fun
thing to kind of aspire to or see what you can do if you want to move into
something a little bit bigger because it's freaking unreal come on in you
gotta brush up though cuz the dogs hi Pablo hi Jake
you sleep here you eat here also probably sleep here you get warm here
and then this doubles as a seat when you're hosting all your best friends so
this is where they sleep the master this was cool yeah doubled this as steps to
the rooftop patio welcome to the shower okay you could
literally fit 12 people in here we invited everyone to use the loo but no
one did so if someone invites you to use their sir in a bus or a van it's a
cardinal sin you just don't do it all right you go get a shovel and you go
outside Jessie we're heading out brother yeah I actually haven't even picked your
van your buck yoo-hoo hi John uh do you want to be in my video it was absolutely
great meeting you Jessie where can people find you uh

episode we'll have to expose you okay bye Jonah
all right we'll catch on the road guys guys take care RTR takes place on BLM
land for two weeks every January and costs nothing to attend it is a unique
opportunity for kindred spirits to find community on the road for many of us van
life can bring a sense of isolation but as soon as you arrive here that all
melts away we got to tour converted delivery trucks schoolies vintage bands
and so much more we can't wait to come again next year
we've had a very productive morning both for the van and ourselves we went to a
cafe in Phoenix Arizona and did lots of business work catching up on computer
stuff lots of screen time happening and while we're doing that Trinity was at
the doctor so she had a full service we had driven across the country so it was
kind of overdue and now we're gonna fill up some water we're here at Sun Valley
