This entry is part of a deeply personal series, called Wish You Were There, that’s unrelated to travel. Today’s photo essay was created by Shana.
Author: Shana And Marcus
We are a post-pandemic retired duo who decided society was too much of a crazy breed. We bought an RV, then a tent, and took off on the road so we could get back to nature, reflect on the beauty that goes unnoticed and focus on recreation.

Going Indoors, B Side
The Inside Out By Marcus Every good story or album has a solid B side, or at least a shaky one, right? Well, here’s my side of the record. The Study If you read the A side, then you know why we’re here in Old Town San Diego, and you know there’s isn’t much I […]
Going Indoors
By Shana Oh, the challenges we face in this life are grand. The plans we make, and the things that seem to continuously get in the way of those plans. It’s been two years now since Marcus and I started up the coast of California, and we’ve yet to make it out of SoCal. We […]
It Keeps Happening, for a Reason
Shana and Marcus are regular contributors to GDTRFG; this is the first time I’ve put their writing here in my personal series, Wish You Were There. In truth, this post connects to several themes throughout this blog. It was written by Shana. At this point, you might suspect that I was referring to the rain […]
Living Intently
The last time Shana and Marcus wrote for us was back in July, when they were outfitting their van, Black Betty, to live in full-time. Since then they’ve experimented with other living situations, and now they’re back in Black Betty, plus a huge, kick-ass tent, traveling the southern coast of California. An undercurrent to all […]
Marcus & Shana Tackle, “Go Big or Go Tiny Home?”
Hello, everyone! If you are like us, then you know the summer months can be a serious pain in the traveling world. We have a 45-foot fifth wheel trailer, and parking it anywhere is a difficult task even for the most experienced of us all. When the pandemic hit, families everywhere ran out and purchased […]
Shana & Marcus Take on Foodie Land
At our camping spot here on the Del Mar Fairgrounds in California, we can see the ocean to our west, and directly south there’s a lagoon that rises and falls with the tide. We’ve fished off the banks with hopes of casting in just the right spot to pull a halibut off the lagoon bed. […]
Shana & Marcus’ Rich Strike
We found ourselves back at the Del Mar Fairgrounds during the Kentucky Derby, so this edition is all about a Rich Strike (both the horse and our own Rich Strike). The Fast Horse Here at the fairgrounds the Derby was broadcast on the track, so we had to take full advantage. In keeping with the day, […]
Shana & Marcus Make a Day into a Gift at Del Mar Fairgrounds
We are steadfast boondocking enthusiasts, but on occasion we find ourselves enjoying time in oddly amazing (campground) situations. We decided to give the fairgrounds in Del Mar, CA, a try. Known as the place where the surf meets the turf, it played host to the world-famous Sea Biscuit back when he began his historic run […]
Shana & Marcus at Pacific Beach
Note from Shelly: Here’s the second in a series of guest posts written by friends we’ve met on the road. We’ve had the pleasure of hanging out with Shana and Marcus several places in Southern California; I wrote previously about our afternoon on Pacific Beach with them, and here’s their fun review of their longer […]
