Most of our time is spent camping, hiking and biking in state and national parks, but we regularly stay in or near large cities on our travels. When we do, one of the activities that we, especially the kids, enjoy is spending a day at a children’s museum. Today, I’m writing this post from the […]
Day Hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park
On our last stop in the Rockies before descending into the plains on our way east, we visited Rocky Mountain National Park. We camped just outside the park in Estes Park so that we could have a full utility hookup, letting us run our heater all night. In September, fall is in full swing in […]
Biking the KATY Trail, Jefferson City, Missouri
If you’ve not heard of Rails To Trails, it’s the conversion of old railroad passages into multi-use paths for recreation. The KATY trail is one of these Rails to Trails. Stretching over 200 miles across Missouri along the bank of the Missouri River, it is one of the longer trails out there. As we were […]
Sledding at Great Sand Dunes National Park, Colorado
I underestimated the size of the sand dunes at Great Sand Dunes National Park. Not only are they taller than I expected, but also they are more expansive. Covering 300 square miles at 8,000 feet in elevation among the Rockies, the dunes are really impressive. There are hikes in and around the dunes and overnight […]
Cheap Thrills in Great Basin National Park – Baker, Nevada
When we left San Francisco after Labor Day Weekend, we planned to spend a few days at Lake Tahoe. When we arrived at Lake Tahoe though, we decided to blow it off and blaze another six hours across The Loneliest Highway in America to Great Basin National Park. We’d already seen Tahoe, and we wanted […]
Climbing on Goblins in Goblin Valley
On our way west, we learned of Goblin Valley State Park in Utah. We missed it while touring the National Parks in Utah, so we made a point to camp there on our way back east. The park is quite small, but the kids had an absolute blast there. The park is named for a […]
We Were Totally Robbed, Yall.
I’m of the belief that the overwhelming majority of people in the world are well intentioned and kind. On my various adventures, I’ve been on the receiving end of amazing acts of kindness from strangers. When I’ve been in need, all but a few of the strangers that I’ve met have been willing to help, […]
Monthly Expenses for Full-Time RVing – August 2016
Before our trip, we created a monthly budget for our RV trip, and we planned to share our monthly expenses to see how much it costs to RV around America. We’ve shared our monthly expenses for March and April, May, June, and July. Below are our expenses for August. Let us bring you adventure every […]
Why It’s Important to Take My Kids Hiking
One of my main reasons for bringing my children on our year-long tour of state and national parks is to introduce them to the joys and pains of hiking and backpacking. My family took me on the occasional day hike when I was a child, though I was fourteen when I discovered hiking, more specifically, […]
Our First Roadside Emergency, A Shattered Window
When we were traveling out of South Dakota and into Montana a couple months back, we shattered a window in the Airstream while driving down the highway. Looking in my driver’s side view mirror as I drove, I saw what appeared to be water streaming from the side window of the trailer. In an instant, […]
