SO MANY VANS! Our first van life gathering & crazy high winds at VanFest USA in Utah

[@michele2017promastertravel]

A beautiful adventure.

[@SteveAudra]

Thank you, Michele! It's so nice to be able to gather with others in the community! ☺️🚐

[@OurRetiredLife]

Looks like so much fun! Alex is warming up to joining in next time lol. It's always fun seeing our sticker when you open your cupboard! (Forgot to mention that in the previous video). Yay for Harvest Host membership!

[@SteveAudra]

It was lots of fun. It would be so nice if we could attend one together!!! I love having your sticker and pics there. We also have two of your painted rocks in the van! ❤️ It will be interesting to see what we think of HH since the expectation is that you spend $30 or more.

Nice video

[@SteveAudra]

Thanks!

[@billnalen]

Hope to meet you at the next one!

[@SteveAudra]

I think there's a very high probability of that!

[@lannyandroxanneadvantures2546]

We missed you guys by about 2 weeks. Maybe in 2024 we can be at the same place at same time!

[@SteveAudra]

It's such a bummer our travels didn't align. Yes, hopefully this year!

Well for the record, seeing the van take a bath is easier on the eyes and brain. No bleach needed. :) Congrats on the harvest host win. I am sure that will come in handy for you guys. Thanks for all the shout outs. I will be sure to check them out.

[@SteveAudra]

🤣🤣🤣 We're glad there was no trauma inflicted by this video! We're looking forward to trying out Harvest Host. The expectation is that you spend $30 or more when you stay at one. You know us... We'll see how that goes.

[@jshenderson]

@@SteveAudra yes, I understand. I might be inclined lean in on the difference between expected and required. :) Remember if you are ever nearby, we are happy to roll out the red extension cord for you with no other expectation.

[@SteveAudra]

@@jshenderson And we love that! ❤️

We can relate to the issues you had with the van shaking in the wind. We rode out a tornado warning at 5 AM last week. It was pretty rocky for a few minutes. We didn’t really have anywhere to go at that time. We were in downtown Columbus. Our son lives in a high rise there on the 14th floor, and that didn’t sound any safer lol

[@SteveAudra]

Wow, that's scary! Storms you can prepare for are one thing, tornados are a monster all to themselves. Glad you guys were okay!

[@popatop75]

is van fest free? and how do you find out when another one is going to happen??? thank you

[@SteveAudra]

No, it's not free. The organizers have a lot of expenses such as location rental, entertainment, etc. I think it's around $15 for general admission or a little over $100 to camp there for the long weekend (which includes admission). Their website (vanfestusa.com) has info on upcoming events. There are lots of other gatherings. I'm trying to find a comprehensive list. I'll post if I find one.
