HELLOOOOOOOO
My name is Madie, trail name Lady, and I am relatively new to van/RV life!
My partner, Dylan (trail name The Tramp), and I bought and did a quick rebuild on a 1989 Ford E150 conversion van in early 2018. We lived out of that with our two dogs for 6 months while we attempted another LASH* of the AT** in the fall of 2018 I came into ownership of a 1990 Dodge Chinook.
Currently Dylan works at an AT hostel in Virginia and both vans are parked there (effectively creating a 2 bedroom apartment, haha!) and I have spent the last year working as a rotational pastry chef for a small, expedition cruiseline (on for ~8wks, off for ~4wks). we love and poured our hearts into Bonnie (Ford) and so are not looking to get rid of her anytime soon, but are discussing finishing some small (but likely time consuming and expensive) things in Dream (Dodge) and living in that full time.
Dylan is a locksmith/jack-of-all-trades
I am a banquets cook/restaurant manager/pastry chef/basically anything hospitality
Bandit is a 9 year old, intact catahoula cur/black lab mix
Charlie is a 4 1/2 year old, neutered beagle
sooooo uhhhh we're happy to be here and trying to figure it all out while we go! Thanks in advance to everyone for your kindness, help, and information! I'm certain we will be needing quite a bit of it as we go along! ;D
*Lash: Long Ass Section Hike (we did 850 miles in 2017, 350 miles in 2018)
**AT: Appalachian Trail (2200 mile trail from GA to ME)
(also turns out I have no real pictures of Bonnie on my laptop but she cute, I swear)
