A Field Guide To Waco, Texas / Silobration 2017

I've been back for a few days, and I am heading back out on the road later this afternoon. Its been a whirlwind as of late. Candle sales don't always just come to you, so I've been traveling the states peddling my candles. Its provided an opportunity to shake hands and hug necks, to taste foods and coffees, and to share what I do. My most recent outing was to attend the Silobration at the Magnolia Silos. My Buddy, Craig, had recently finished building out his travel van so I called him up and rented it for the week. I have slept in my truck before and am pretty comfortable with “van life” (or 4runner life, we can put that under the van life umbrella for this blog post cant we?) but Craig’s van was far better than any travel/sleep set up I have ever used. Ill start by saying that he thought of everything, I mean everything, that one could desire while on their latest adventure.
