March flew by and April's flying by faster! Some days past by so quickly, while others feel like they stretch on and on. 

It's Chiko here and I now understand what it means to have writer's block. Although, it was more like dreading having to put my thoughts and emotions into words about COVID, but maybe this will be a healing exercise in itself. I'll keep my thoughts-and-feelies until the end of the post, but head on down there if that's what you're here for.

First, truck stuff!

With social distancing and mandatory isolation in full force, we still haven't returned to the office. The added benefit is the hour+ that we save each day from not having to commute. Chiko chooses to spend those extra hours working, but I've been able to put in some time on the truck. In this post, we'll cover:

• Getting power into the box from the alternator
• Testing, removing, and cleaning the heater
• Patching the insulation
• Laying down the subfloor

The first warm-ish weekends arrived and we got started on building out Cubert. In this post, I'll talk about installing:

• backup cameras,
• solar panels, and
• a Fan-tastic roof vent

This marks the end of removing pieces from the truck, now we're actually adding to it!

We were going to announce this later with our reveal video, but we JUST COULDN'T WAIT!

Everyone, please meet the newest member of our family...Cubert.

Hi friends! We thought we’d catch you up on our travels before we get back into vanlife things. I’m covering two topics in this blog:

1. El Potrero Chico ("EPC") - This section is heavily focused on travel tips and climbing and may not be relevant to you if you’re not looking for information on EPC. I included a brief section at the beginning explaining the different types of climbing, so this part is worth a read if you're curious about climbing.
2. Flight Delays - A new regulation was implemented in Canada on December 15, 2019 which affects how airlines handle flight delays and cancellations, particularly with how passengers are to be compensated. READ THIS as I’m sure you’ll be flying at some point in the future.
