From $400 mold monster to rolling masterpiece January 4th 2026 ~ Midnight Mural Magic: Vardo Art Restoration Sleep schedules? Never heard of 'em! We spent the winter holiday break fueled by floodlights and creative vibes, doodling on the Vardo until 3:00am. Ma and I gave our original artwork a vibrant face-lift with brighter colors and a fresh clear sealant. From TMNT heroes to warding off the legendary "Mexiquitos," the Vardo is lookin' sharper than ever. Its amazing what you can accomplish when the rest of the world is dreaming!

Adventures Powered by Grok-LEE ~ celebrating our AI travel buddies 
Pac-Man, Star Trek, and the dreaded "Mexiquito" ~ Gulf Coast humor at its best January 1st 2026 ~ New Year's Beach Campout: Fireworks & Firepits We parked the vardo on Crystal Beach, Texas for a New Year's blowout ~ fireworks exploded like every redneck on Bolivar Peninsula dropped their life savings on pyrotechnics. Calm waters, roaring fire, and zero mosquito swarms ~ miracle for this buggy peninsula. Blasted around on the 4~wheeler tearin' up sand. This tradition's locked in ~ might even hit it again on the 4th. Happy New Year, y'all!

 Doodles as of today ~ send us your ideas! December 2025 ~ Current State: The Masterpiece PacMan. Idiocracy. Strong Bad. Glowing pineapples. Butterfly. Peace signs. Mushrooms.   Yes, it glows like a spaceship under black light. Yes, it's the coolest thing ever. August 7, 2025 ~ Freight Train Mode Activated Discovered the back step was actually a trailer hitch. Immediately bought a utility trailer, loaded the CFMOTO, and created the ultimate convoy: Jeep + Vardo + Trailer + 4 wheeler.  Beach & ATV parks here we come! July 13, 2025 ~ Dinosaur Valley State Park First long distance trip in the Vardo. Gas can and generator on the tongue because we were still figuring logistics out. Still pre~graffiti explosion, but already turning heads. 
Pictured Ma preparing the rugged tablet for Geocaching in the bush Summer 2024 ~ Bedliner Armor & The Birth of Chaos Stripped it, sanded it, flex~sealed every seam, then rolled on multiple coats of truck bed liner for texture and immortality. That's when Jackie went in and redid the bed on a hinged system, so we can use the underneath as storage space. 
What we started with July 2, 2024 ~ Purchase Day: The $400 Mold Monster Bought this thing for $400 from a guy whose dad built it in the 80s and let it rot on a hunting lease for 30 years. It was straight nasty — mold, rot, squirrel nests, the works. But we saw potential. 
Before: pure nightmare fuel. After: our masterpiece. This is our rolling declaration of freedom. |
