Zion National Park is a pretty spectacular national park in Utah, with towering sheer cliff faces, narrow slot canyons, and a beautiful river. It’s so spectacular that a few million people visit each year, which means after May and through the summer, the park can be pretty crowded. By midmorning, many of the pull offs […]
Off-Road Driving Through Canyonlands National Park, Utah
We visited Canyonlands last in our travels through the Big 5 national parks in Utah (Bryce Canyon, Zion, Capitol Reef, Arches, and Canyonlands). By the time we reached Canyonlands, we’d had our fill of red desert landscape and canyons. We’d already experienced the impressive long range views of Canyonlands and the snaking Colorado River from […]
Bike around Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado
As I’ve said many times now, bicycles are a great way to escape the crowds at national parks, and this proved true yet again at Mesa Verde National Park. We visited Mesa Verde on the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. The park was slammed with visitors. We waited half an hour in a long line […]
Hiking Cathedral Rock in Sedona
Hiking to the top of Cathedral Rock in Sedona, AZ should be on everyone’s bucket list. The hike can be done in a day, but it will leave a lasting impression. The red rocks, green trees, and blue and white sky along the hike make for spectacular long-range views, rewarding hikers for the switchbacks and […]
The Cards We Carry for Discounts While We Travel
Each month we’re sharing how much it costs to RV around America, breaking down expenses across categories as we try to spend within our projected budget. There are a few ways that we try to save money while we travel and manage risk. We have all sorts of insurance, of course, but we also opted […]
Dealing with Diapers
Diapers probably aren’t something you think about when you think about our travels, but we have to think about them all the time. Diapers are a big part of our little Airstream and adventure life. Buying Diapers and Wipes We have to stock a lot of diapers and wipes while we travel, as many of […]
I Got a Speeding Ticket
I once wrote that I lived in the slow lane when driving the Airstream. That’s still true. But it turns out that without the trailer, I’m still the aggressive driver I always was. After a little over 11,000 miles driving America’s highways, I got a speeding ticket. I got nabbed crossing the border in Colorado […]
Hike Willis Creek Slot Canyon in Grand Staircase – Escalante National Monument
Thanks to my brother-in-law, we left Bryce Canyon National Park for a quick excursion to Grand Staircase – Escalante National Monument to hike through a slot canyon. The hike is called Willis Creek, and the trail is six miles down a dirt road just outside of Cannonville, UT. The canyon floor is relatively flat, and […]
How I left my job and got a part-time job for the adventure (Part I)
While we’re traveling around the country by RV, I’m working remotely, about ten hours a week, for the company for which I worked full-time before I left. The ability to work remotely part-time has been a real privilege. Not only does the work bring in some money to cover the burn, but also it helps […]
Airstream Belly Skin Repairs on the Road
RVs are rolling earthquakes. We drag our Airstream hundreds of miles each week on the highways and inevitably a few miles on dirt roads. It bounces, bangs, and shutters behind our Tahoe. Screws are often rattling loose and falling to the floor. We find one or two scattered around about each time we move to […]
