We are Mike and Tanja. We are retired and currently traveling in our 2018 Ram Promaster with our mixed breed puppy. We enjoy visiting the National Parks and camping in the National Forests as well as staying with Boondockers Welcome hosts. We have solar power, running water with a gray tank, a portapotty, a microwave, and an induction cooktop so that we can be totally self contained when needed.

Such nice people!

Mike and Tanja were so nice! I wish we could’ve gotten to know them better, but we all tried to remain socially distant. But we’d love to have them back any time!

A Lovely Couple

They only stayed one night, so we didn't get to visit much, but we really enjoyed the time we did spend together. We hope to see them again when they can stay longer.

My Favorite Guests (shhhh don't tell the others)

Mike and his wife actually stayed with me in April, I just somehow forgot to leave a reference then--SORRY GUYS!! I must say, having this couple boondock at my place was such a treat!! They are some of the friendliest and warmest folks I have ever met and they immediately felt like family. We had a very lovely chat the two(?) evenings they stayed with me and I appreciated the "tour" of their rig plus tons of super helpful advice for converting my own tiny home on wheels. I hope their travels send them back my way in the future as I would be thrilled to host them again! Lucky you if you get the chance to meet them!!! ;)

Hosting Mike & Tonya

Mike was cool and Tonya was very sweet. I loved hearing about the places they've been and how they set up their van for camping. I would enjoy hosting them again!

Fantastic, Friendly and Fun!

Mike happily and quickly repaired Blind Jeff's beloved custom made wooden walking cane that's been broken for a year! Tanja's stories are wonderful and entertaining. Their travel tips were great as we are getting ready for a month-long southwest book tour. Their stay was toooo short. Hope to stay in touch with this great couple.

Welcome back anytime

They came through to spend a night and got sucked into our music festival maelstrom, aka Old Settlers Music fest, plus the beauty of TEXAS in the Spring.
A pair of kindred spirits, living the dream.

Great Couple

Glad to have met this couple, very nice and friendly. Had good conversations and left me with a lot of information to think about for our future travels. They are welcome back anytime they may be traveling through this area.
