I built out a tiny home on wheels, and after almost 4 years of touring the country (with a year break to fight and beat triple negative breast cancer) it’s still a great place to live and see the national parks!

This holiday season I vow to decrease my spending by half by making presents, and cutting costs. I will not shop Thanksgiving weekend, or the Monday after. I will not buy anything online on whatever that day is. Hit them where it hurts.

I’m traveling the country post cancer treatment, making memories, and taking pics. I will have to work somewhere this winter to fund my travels, but I’m out here living life to the fullest!

50-75% is roughly 3 million acres of YOUR hunting, fishing, ORV, hiking, biking, grazing, and camping lands! Call your senators before the vote on this!

Pages of the big beautiful bill about selling off BLM and National Forest land. Not less than 50% and not more than 75% of each

Enjoyed some time in Saguaro National Park

A bright blue sky and desert sand are the backdrop for 3 saguaro cactus, a large prickly pear cactus, and several desert bushes

I took a beautiful drive in New Mexico and found this pretty spot to spend the night

I live in SD and wrote to mine twice, just form letters back saying they were doing their jobs 😡 I never did hear anything back from Rounds, he can’t be bothered to respond to constituents, but I sure get calls and emails from his fundraising department now

Letter from Thune-Thank you for contacting me. I appreciate hearing from you.
On his first day in office, President Trump issued an executive order establishing the U.S.
Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Service to eliminate waste, identify fraud, modernize federal technology and software, and maximize government efficiency and productivity.
He appointed Elon Musk to head this new agency, which did not require confirmation by the U.S.
Senate.
As you know, certain representatives of the DOGE Service were recently granted access to federal payment system records within the U.S. Department of the Treasury's Bureau of the Fiscal Service in an effort to identify waste, fraud, and abuse within certain federal government programs.
However, due to ongoing litigation, these records are currently only accessible to Senate-confirmed appointees.
I understand the importance of ensuring federal dollars are spent as responsibly and efficiently as possible. At the same time, I recognize that there are differing views on allowing employees of the DOGE Service to access Americans' sensitive information.
As Congress continues to exercise its oversight role, I will be sure to keep your concerns in mind.
If you would like additional information on my activities in the Senate, please feel free to visit my website, https://www.thune.senate.gov. You can also follow me on X, formerly known as Twitter;
Facebook; and Instagram (@LeaderJohnThune). Thanks again for contacting me. Please keep in touch.
Kindest regards,

United States Senator

Letter from Johnson- Thank you for contacting me to share your concerns with Elon Musk.
As you know, Mr. Musk has been appointed as a special government employee by the White House. This designation allows him to work in an official capacity for up to 130 days per year. Additionally, Mr. Musk has been appointed to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an advisory body that aims to identify waste within federal agencies.
Obviously, we want to make sure that these efforts are conducted consistent with federal law and privacy protections.
I know a number of court cases have been filed, and I will be monitoring their progress.
Washington's reckless spending has led to an indefensible $36 trillion debt. Every year, government spending outpaces government revenue by about $2 trillion. There's plenty of blame to go around, but I'm more interested in finding solutions. Congress and the White House must focus on ideas to streamline the government to make the best use of taxpayer dollars.
Thanks again for reaching out.
Sincerely,

Dusty Johnson
Member of Congress

Spineless John Thune’s non response to my emails. He visited Russia on July 4th during #FOTUS ‘s 1st attempt at destroying our country, wonder what Putin has on him? He’s got something he gave to the felon in chief

Finally received a response from our Rep. in regards to Elon’s crew accessing our info. About what I’d expect from someone who’s lost all credibility.

Unelected Musk moves with lightning speed to take over the US Government in a coup There, fixed it for you

Another one of my favorite pictures from the beginning of our trip in Sept. A random stream we ate lunch at probably in New York

Water flows and falls over large boulders in a stream, the picture is taken with trees on each side near the photographer so that the creek is framed by the leaves

Good time of year to visit Everglades National Park! It’s the dry season, so the alligator are gathering in the remaining water, and coming out of the water to soak up the sun. Crocodiles were out basking too. #vanlife #nationalpark

Our first 4 months of #vanlife September-January 2022 before we headed back to SD for my #TNBC treatment. I found the lump on the road, and it took a while to get the testing done in AZ. We booked it back at the end of January, and started treatment at the beginning of March 2023

Honestly? I hate starting over on another app, so I hope this is the last time! I’m currently traveling down the East Coast as I recover from 17 months of chemo. Love is love, be your true self, stand up to inequality when you see it, and go feral if you need to.
