Roadside Attractions, Tiny Towns & Weird Little Detours

We’re Nancy and Zach. We live full-time in a converted school bus and have a habit of pulling over for the oversized, offbeat, strange, and completely unnecessary things scattered across America.

Ready to Get Sidetracked?

Pick the kind of trouble you want, let us pull something from the giant pile, and see where the road sends you. We’ve been to some of them. The rest are still sitting on our list daring us to catch up.

We live tiny. We stop big.

Right At The Light is what happens when two people live full-time in a converted school bus, travel with a small furry circus, and keep deciding the giant chair, weird sculpture, mystery coordinate, or questionable roadside sign is worth turning around for.

The bus gets us there. Curiosity is usually the thing causing the delay.
