I made it home safe and sound to the hills above Santa Cruz after the longest drive of my life: 3200 miles solo over 5 days towing the shantyboat. Nice to see Benzy again. Time for whiskey #shantyboat #roadtrip #longdrive #audiobooks #homeagain

There is something so beautiful and surreal about truck stops, a post-apocalyptic Terminator trainyard aesthetic. I used to really hate this kind of urban desolation, until one early morning while train hopping sitting on a curb stop in a dismal mini-mall parking lot waiting for a coffee shop to open I experienced a profound “flip,” and suddenly saw the built environment’s relationship with the natural world as subtle and nuanced as a desert plain #POV #Truckstop #PreApocalyptic #PostApocalyptic #MadMax #Terminator #Shantyboatweekend #RoadTrip #Oklahoma #Texas #Amarillo

The Back Rhodes Diner (aka Faye’s Diner), where all the old dudes hang out for their morning coffee and breakfast, where the delicious signature breakfast is a biscuit, egg, and sausage sandwich smothered in gravy, is located at the edge of the Ozark mountains in southern Missouri #Shantyboat #Ozarks #Missouri #OpenSpaces #Hillbillies #Okies

People often ask us where we stay while we’re on the road. Answer: wherever we damn we’ll please. Truck stops, parking lots, flat areas alongside the road, wherever. We are like the turtle carries his house on his back. As long as we don’t mind living in the chaos that bumping down the road creates within the shantyboat #shantyboat #roadtrip #CarCamping #Trailers #TinyHomes #Truckstops #TrailerCamping

Going through the Appalachian Mountains in Delaware it is rainy AF. That’s fun and all, until I go to sleep and find that our sleeping loft in the Shantyboat is completely saturated #Appalachian #RainPacalypse #Driving #Delaware

The shantyboat trailer started its life with me as part of the Costco Soulmate Trading Outlet fleet. Even here in 2001, it provided opportunities to stop and see new places that I might have driven through #roadsideservice #ruralnewjersey #trailers #csto

Sweet fucking Jesus H Christ. Driving along the expressway into the Bronx across The Whitestone Bridge when suddenly truck and trailer go squirrley and the shantyboat overtakes the truck and bashes against the tailgate before pitching violently forward. Do an immediate oh shit stop. What the fucking hell just happened? Cars swerving around me I got out and the hitch has failed and released the ball. So I chok the wheels of the shantyboat, pull the truck forward enough to release the chains and the electrical, use the bumper jack to jack the trailer back up, and realign the truck and ball miraculously on the first try under the hitch, cars swerving around me, sweating violently, Lower the trailer back on the hitch, Reconnect emergency chains and electrical, and managed to weave back through traffic and back on my way. Perhaps time for a new hitch? #HighwayTerror #NewYorkHighways #Shantyboat #InSituRepairs

Our time on the Hudson River and in New York City draws to a close. Today we are piloting the Shantyboat up the East River, through Hell Gate, to Flushing Bay where we will trailer the boat at the Worlds Fair Marina. Then begins the next phase of the adventure, a 3000 mile drive towing a 7000 pound boat to California. Photo by Paul Abitabile #Shantyboat #HudsonRiver #Lighthouse #Goodbyes
