Last week Katie shared her thoughts on the halfway point. Her post caused me to spend a little time in San Francisco this last weekend reflecting on our first six months of adventure. I realized that this family trip now marks my longest adventure in duration. Thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail took 165 days, or about […]
A Morning Hike to Bumpass Hell, Lassen Volcanic NP
On our last day in Lassen Volcanic National Park, we decided to hike the 3-mile round trip hike to Bumpass Hell, probably the most popular hike in the whole park. The trail follows an easy grade up and over a pass to Bumpass Hell, a large area of geothermal activity, including bubbling mud pots, hissing […]
Hike around Manzanita Lake at Lassen Volcanic National Park, California
While I like to hike up and down mountains with a kid strapped to my back, I also like those hikes where Jane and Wilson can walk most or all of the trail on their own. Our pace with the kids walking is much slower than when we carry them, but slowing down to enjoy […]
Camping and Hiking at Crater Lake National Park, Oregon
Crater Lake was high on my list of the places I most wanted to see on our trip because of its uniqueness. The lake formed when a volcano erupted 7,500 years ago. The volcano walls collapsed inward, leaving a several thousand feet deep crater that slowly filled with rainwater and snowmelt over the millennia. The […]
Exploring Tide Pools, Coves, and Caves along the Oregon Coast
While staying in Coos Bay, Oregon, most of our explorations along the coast were around Shore Acres State Park and Sunset Bay State Park, which are right next to each other. We biked along the top of the cliffs, looking down on crashing waves and feeding Pacific Gray Whales, and we ventured down steep trails […]
Welcome Cool on the Oregon Coast
The two weeks we spent in Portland were some of the hottest we’ve had on our travels, especially since the AirBnB that we rented didn’t have air conditioning. Apparently many older houses in Portland don’t have central AC because temperatures are typically mild. During our two weeks, Portland saw several 100F days, a rarity. We […]
Jane Learns to Ride a Bike
While hanging out in Portland for a couple weeks, we’ve passed a few major milestones. Wilson turned 2, and Jane learned to ride a big girl bike. When we left on our trip, we brought along a strider bike, also called a balance bike. It’s a small bike without pedals, and the idea is that […]
Monthly Expenses for Full Time RVing – July 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, and June. Below are our expenses for July. Let us bring you adventure every day. […]
Exploring the Diverse Olympic National Park, Washington
Before heading into Portland, Oregon for a break, we spent a week about five hours north in the Olympic National Park on the Olympic Peninsula. We had high expectations for Olympic. Since we moved into Montana and further west into the Pacific Northwest, various travelers kept telling us about the awesomeness of Olympic. The park […]
A Break from the Road in Portland, Oregon
We mentioned in our weekly email newsletter a few weeks back that we rented a house for two weeks in Portland, OR. We arrived on Sunday (two days ago), and we’re settling back into house life. Well, guest house life. We’re staying in a 3 bed guest house behind the main house, and the Airstream […]
