Teepee House & Road Trips
If Linette from Mother Earth’s Garden, is trying to get me to waste all my time, she’s a pro. She recently sent me a cool photo of this awesome teepee house.
So of course I get all obsessive (this is a slick home) and proceed to surf through tons and tons of this guy’s flickr pages - he has a lot. Why, well, I’ll get to that in a minute. In any case, I spent far too long surfing through his pictures; which are all so great. Real slices of life - not stodgy photos at all. I like reality and his photos are exactly that.
Here’s a couple more of this amazing house:
How great is this house? It’s in Michigan, which is odd because it reminds me of a house I saw in Minnesota, on one of my road trips which isn’t far off.
The fellow I mentioned above (the one with all the cool flickr pages) shot it as part of his Hometown Invasion Tour - which is pretty neat in itself. This guy, Justin (aka Bugsy) has a website called The Hometown Invasion; I think Justin sums it up better, and faster, then I would so here you go; from his homepage:
“From Sep 8, 2006 to Sep 17, 2007 my friend Rice (the first squirrel to go to all 50 states) and I (Bugsy) have traveled 29,403 miles as we made our way to all 50 states in the nation staying in over 100 U.S. households. These are the photos and stories that made an incredible year.”
Neat… I want to go on a road trip like this! Justin blogs about his adventures too. ONLY visit the blog if you have lots and lots of free time. I stayed a long time. It was really interesting. According to his blog he’s either on the road again or considering it; it was sort of hard to tell. Still, it’s a fun site, and a great read with amazing photos. Very much worth a look.
[Many hugs to Linette for the send. Jennifer of course was joking about her time being wasted - she’s always got plenty of time to waste on cool houses, and adores people who send them to her]

I was lost in his photos for quite a while, and I didn’t even find the blog, LOL. The house is awesome, the interior is pretty cool too. I agree, a road trip like that would be awesome.

Thanks for the post! I appreciate it, great post! Sorry for the confusion, I’m not on the road, starting a business venture at the time and hoping to write a book in 2008.
Feel free to send an e-mail and keep in touch.
All the best,
Bugsy

Bugsy himself, huh. Thanks for stopping by! Great site you have, I’m a huge road trip fan, both of taking them or reading about them so your site was a hoot. Hopefully you get out there again, double hopefully in that awesome travel machine you’ve got posted. Plus, of course, beautiful house shots.
