After Seven Weeks on the Road, Why We Chose Buffalo, Wyoming?
Westward Series - Episode 15 April, 2026 After seven weeks on the road, we had covered a lot of miles and seen some incredible places. But after making decisions every day about where to go, where to stay, and what to see next, we were ready to spend a few days enjoying one place. That place was Buffalo, Wyoming. During our three nights here, we explored downtown, had breakfast at the Busy Bee, checked out local shops, spotted some unexpected visitors, took an incredible drive into the Bighorn Mountains, and enjoyed some of the everyday moments that make van life special. Laundry, coffee outside, baking scones with our Coleman oven, spending time with Tia, and cooking a special dinner became just as memorable as the places we visited. We’ll also be sharing a separate video of our beautiful scenic drive through the Bighorn Mountains with more driving footage and map overlays so you can experience the route with us. We’re JK and Kim. Think van life travel is only for the young and fit? Think again. We share what life on the road is really like after 60. We, along with our senior Golden Doodle Tia, are part-time adventurers who love small town discoveries, inspired vistas and slower-pace road tripping in our self-converted 2019 Ford Transit T-250 high roof, RWD camper van. “It’s not about how many places you see — it’s about noticing the ones you do stop in.” 🚐 Thanks for traveling with us! 🙌 “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:23 (ESV) #VanLifeAfter60 #VanLife #BuffaloWyoming #slowtravel #fordtransitvan #goldendoodle #vanlifecouple #bighornmountains #vanlifeat62 👉Be sure to watch our entire Westward Series playlist on our YouTube channel! • Van Life After 60: Westward Series Chapters: 00:00 Why Buffalo, Wyoming? 00:20 Arriving in Buffalo 00:49 Belated Easter Dinner 01:10 Arriving in Downtown 01:36 The Busy Bee Cafe 01:45 Exploring downtown Buffalo 03:26 Our Bighorn Mountain drive day 06:25 A normal van life day 09:29 A special dinner after seven weeks on the road 11:53 Travel Day - Leaving Buffalo 14:25 Closer
