Mosey Home

When nowhere feels like home we’re left with nothing but the traveling. It’s an abiding want, sometimes an urgent need, and for us, it’s an always present reality.

The Short Shtick

Nathan lived most of his 30 years in Western Pennsylvania, in towns with names like Nanty Glo, Pittsburgh and Lake Erie. While attending the Art Institute of Pittsburgh he met a girl, they had a baby together, and thusly Tristan was born into this world. Time and people separated Nathan and Tristan’s mother, and tragically young she was taken from this world. Tristan was forced, again at an all too young age, to realize that life, somehow, goes on.

Before this particular adventure, Tristan and Nathan traveled the country with Olivia for a little over a year in a 29′ RV known as the Dutchess, the chronicles of which can always be read up on at Tumblewagon.com. Again, time and people found their way into dividing Nathan and Olivia and once more Tristan and his father are on their own.

At the beginning of this chapter of their life they purchased a 1978 VW Bus with a Riviera campwagen conversion. The bus, part of only a few produced by VW in a 6 month period known as the Champagne Editions, goes by the name Champ. Before coming into the boys’ life, Champ lived in Fort Collins, CO and this story begins just south of there in Loveland, CO.
