GOODBYE, WINTER
SNOWBIRDING AS A DIGITAL NOMAD
I didn’t expect to become a snowbird this winter, but here we are— living out of our new TCTeardrops Terrain camper, chasing sunlight, and avoiding the Midwest cold like it’s out to get us. In early November we officially sold our house, wrapped up the last of the loose ends, and lingered in the region just long enough to celebrate Thanksgiving. The timing couldn’t have been tighter. As soon as we pointed the truck south, that Thanksgiving weekend snowstorm barreled across the Midwest like a reminder of everything we were running from. For once, we outran it. Texas greeted us with the kind of cold rain that soaks straight through your jacket and into your bones. We’d imagined sunny skies and warm breezes—classic snowbird dreams—but instead found ourselves hopping between campsites with the heater working overtime. Still, there’s something kind of wonderful about wandering through strange weather in a new place. We chased the promise of better conditions and eventually coasted down to Padre Island, where the air finally remembered it was supposed to feel like winter on vacation.
From there we headed west, trading Gulf winds for desert horizons. Now we’re settled into southern New Mexico, soaking up sunny days, big skies, and enough warmth to thaw out the last memories of Illinois ice. It feels good to slow down a little, breathe a little deeper, and remember that this nomadic stretch was exactly what we’d hoped for. Arizona is next on the itinerary, and after that we’ll aim the rig back toward the cold for our appearance at the Chicago Auto Show in February. It’ll be a jolt, going from desert sun back into winter, but that’s the rhythm we chose this year: roam where it’s warm, return when there’s work to do, and savor the strange, beautiful inbetween. For now, though, we’re leaning all the way into snowbird life—coffee in hand, dogs at our feet, wandering far enough south that frostbite isn’t part of the daily conversation.

Our all-new TC Terrain camper is the culmination of our experience and expertise, combined with feedback from our customers. The Terrain offers a comfortable living space with a table and bench seating for four; convert that to a couch and table for two, or unfold the mattress completely into a queen size bed.

I have a Rhinorack roof rack, and awning.
>WHY ID YOU CHOOSE THIS VEHICLE?
My husband bought a jeep when he retired from 31 years in the fire service, and after I drove his and watched him wheel it for 6 months I wanted one too. I traded in a Ford Fusion for it.
>WHAT IS THE NEXT THING ON THE BUILD LIST?
I really don’t have anything I want to add at this time, not sure what it would be.
>WHAT OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES OR HOBBIES DO YOU ENJOY?
I love off roading, as the saying goes mild to wild. I’ve done the Rebelle Rally 3times, I enjoy tent camping and spending time in the outdoors. I enjoy spending time with my three grandchildren, I have two three yr olds and a one year old. Our first was born while I was on the Rebelle the first time. Hitting the trails and taking pictures of beautiful natural flowers, when I see them, is a favorite of mine, or any odd shaped trees.
>WHAT DOES OVERLANDING OR REMOTE TRAVEL MEAN TO YOU?
Piece and quiet. Time to connect with nature and ground myself, the fresh smell of crisp clean air, the sound of the breeze in the aspens is my favorite.
>WHERE ARE YOU OFF TO NEXT?
Our next adventure is completely different, we are going on an 8 day cruise in the Caribbean in February

leg barely bending. I mentally noted to give him space, planning to pass him politely. But by mile 16, he was a speck in the distance ahead of me, leaving me in his dust. And he wasn’t alone. Dozens of runners I’d pegged as “out of shape” or “incapable of finishing” breezed past me. Some were heavier than me, some older and many didn’t fit my naive mold of a “runner.” Getting passed up by them stung, but it taught me a lesson I carry to every trail: appearances mean nothing. At the finish line that day, I spotted a runner ahead of me wearing a shirt that read, “Today I am 75 years old, and I’m in front of you!” I laughed

DAILY STORIES WITH AVERY DAVIS
“2026 main goal is to get the new project rig on the road. Learned a lot of what works for me over the past several years with the Tracker. There is more to Colorado I would love to explore. But, will hit up Wyoming and South Dakota.” -Shane McManus
2026 is hopefully the year I get out as much as possible. I’m aiming for Midwest Women’s Off-Road Weekend, KOAR, the Superior Circle, an earlysummer Keweenaw trip to meet up with one of my favorite camping friends for our annual campout, and Moore Expo. The wishlist is long—and I’m hoping to bring back some amazing adventures and even better content to share. -Renza Thompson, Ramblin' with Renza
Mojave Desert Trail and Lake Superior Run after KOAR. -Erin Neiers
“2026 will mark 27 years driving my faithful little truck. So far we've logged over 300K miles together. We'll hit the SAVE event down in Florida in Feb. We'll also hit The Appalachia Adventure Expo in West Virginia late April. Then my truck gets a much earned rest break while I fly to Iceland and rent an overland vehicle for a 2 week adventure there! I'm working on a Fall trip to Nevada too!” -Phil Bryant
I’m going to fly by the seat of my pants. Maybe this will be the year I make it east. -Minnesconsin Michelle
-Mark Cocco
2026 is going to be the best year thus far for Dakota Adventures! Between being a board member for a local Jeep club & pairing up with a great overlanding brand (more details to come), this is going to provide such a great opportunity attend more events & gatherings for 2026. The best part I am looking forward to, is getting to meet more of you! This year's travels are going to extend to locations further away from Michigan & into the midwest. I also have hopes of spending a little time out west this year in the mountains. -Dakota Hillman, Dakota-Adventures
“Mitten state tours is headed to leatherwood off-road, badlands in Indiana, the keweenaw, Drummond island, paradise, and wind rock!” -Derek VSpro
“New to me rig or at least figuring out what I want/need in the next one. Maybe trading KOAR for OTR for some fresh scenery. I yearn for a adventure rock crawling out west not sure I'll get there though. Some 2 wheel enduro stuff while the rig isn't in it's best state. Some more time on the water. Miss summer so much.” -Ben Wicklund

A Tradition Continues The Wisconsin Overland Christmas Tree Hunt and Campout wrapped up in true Northwoods fashion this year—cold, quiet, and full of the kind of memories that only come from a handful of hardy souls showing up anyway. The overnight campout drew just a small group willing to brave the temps, but that didn’t stop anyone from settling into the stillness of winter woods and enjoying the kind of camaraderie that only happens around a fire when the air is crisp and the stars feel close enough to touch. Nate kept us entertained with coffee-fueled meetup live streams.
Saturday brought a much livelier scene as more trucks rolled into Wolf River Roots for the drivers meeting, hands wrapped around hot coffee while folks caught up and shook off the chill. Nate from the GoGoGoodwins kept the energy high with some live trail-side broadcasts, capturing the excitement and giving everyone a taste of the adventure as it unfolded. The trail ride itself delivered exactly what a winter outing should: beautiful scenery, a few spontaneous opportunities to practice recovery skills, and even an impromptu trail repair or two that reminded everyone why traveling with good people matters. A special apology goes out to the Griswolds for shamelessly borrowing their iconic station wagon silhouette for the stickers tucked into the goody bags—some traditions are too fun not to continue. And while the official purpose was to harvest Christmas trees, it’s entirely possible that more Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes were consumed than actual evergreens were strapped to roof racks. Maybe that’s just part of the charm of this annual ride: come for the trees, stay for the laughs, and leave with a full heart (and probably too much frosting).
Photos by Chris Carr with the exception of Nate’s mug stolen from facebook.
Thanks to Chris Carr and August Rich for wrangling the group, to Christina Goodwin for putting the goody bags together and to all the fun folks who came up to have fun in the northwoods. Here’s to another year of cold noses, warm fires, and friends who show up no matter what the weather has planned. See you next year!
