Day five of van life 3.0, October 3rd, 2025





What a better way to start the day with a balloon in your van window.

Up at 5:30am, we brush our teeth and head to the balloon fields to check I too our camp sight.  I get a bit lost, but eventually find someone to point us in the right direction.  We find our way and wait behind one other camper van.  

Campers come in many different flavors, from the small...

To the fleet of airstreams...


Field of dreams.. or Field of soon to be balloons.
Balloons fit in a truck...  Hmm they might fit into her truck, we need to get a Balloon 🎈 
Up in a balloon, well a grounded art of a balloon..


Tomorrow's view of checkin, I suspect it will be much busier over the next few days.

But we find exploring the area is a blast. Weather is perfect.

Hawaii and other parts, roam the area.



And the. Some silly people as well..

PDA...  

A fun afternoon, we stop off at the Balloon museum store and then back to Diane's home for lunch...  6:30pm dinner is looking to be at Sadie's, then home to van tonight for an early night.  Tomorrow starts at 4:30am..

Sooo, why buy a van.  The current concept is to fix and build it out into a sleeper van to include a bed, toilet, sink, fridge and other amenities and ship it to the mainland in a few years when done. June 22, 2024 Progress happens, finally got a weekend of sunny weather to work on solar.  Cut three holes, added grommets to protect the wires, and cleaned up the solar wiring.  Now bringing 8awg line into ...
