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 […]
Day trip to Mt. Rainier National Park, Washington
While camped near Seattle, Washington, we visited Mt. Rainier National Park for a day hike. Mt. Rainier towers over the landscape. We could see it from our campsite, though we were something like eighty miles away. When we arrived at the visitor center at the base of the mountain, we spent some time watching numerous […]
Digging for Sea Creatures at Low Tide in Birch Bay State Park, Washington
After we bolted out of fear from our campsite in the Northern Cascades, we made dozens of calls to find a campground with availability on short notice. We found one, but we had to drive a couple hours farther than anticipated to Ferndale, Washington. Ferndale is in the northwest corner of Washington state, about twenty […]
Tour Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota
Wind Cave National Park in South Dakota has about 150 miles of cave passageways. We visited the park one morning to explore about two miles of the 150 on a guided ranger tour. Wind Cave is different than the other caves we’ve visited. Unlike most other caves, like those at Lewis & Clark State Park […]
Exploring Theodore Roosevelt National Park, North Dakota
After several days in Badlands National Park in South Dakota, we weren’t real keen on visiting Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota, which had its share of badlands, grasslands, and seemed not at all unique. However, as often happens, we were surprised by what we found. Not only did we find an adorable little […]
Search for Fossils in Badlands National Park, South Dakota
In between our reservations at Yellowstone and Glacier National Park, we made a three-week loop through the Dakotas. Our first stop was Wall, SD outside Badlands National Park. We’d already spent a couple months hiking and exploring deserts through the southwestern states, and our kids seemed a little weary of hot sandy trails and blazing […]
Monthly Expenses for Full Time RVing – June 2016
Several months ago, 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, and May. Below are our expenses for June. We were 9% over budget for the month […]
A Weekend in Great Falls, Montana, and Giant Springs State Park
We had a weekend layover in Great Falls, Montana, making our way from North Dakota to Glacier National Park. We didn’t expect much from the stop, and so we were pleased to find a pleasant state park, Giant Springs State Park, stretching several miles along the banks of the Missouri River. Much of the park […]
Spectacular Hiking in Glacier National Park, Montana
I am completely blown away by Glacier National Park. It is my favorite park to date, and the park to which I am most certain I will return for more extensive backpacking. The glaciers are bit underwhelming compared to the ones I’ve seen in Alaska, but the snow capped mountains, glacier blue lakes, countless waterfalls […]
