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 […]
You Can’t Fix Stubborn
Katie and I can both be extremely stubborn. If we’re on opposite sides of an opinion without Google to help us sort it out with facts, our conversations on the road can devolve into a pig-headed stalemate that cripples our ability to communicate. There have been more than a few times that my obstinacy has […]
Mt. Rushmore: Four Presidents on a Hill in South Dakota
While camped in Wall, South Dakota, we made the two hour drive to visit Mt. Rushmore on a day trip. Not a whole lot to say about Mt. Rushmore. It’s four presidents on a hill in South Dakota. We arrived about nine o’clock and were back on the road by noon, having walked the short […]
