At the end of the Death Valley blog post a few days ago, we said to check back to see where we ended up since we weren’t entirely sure where we were going. Well, we did not have to resort to a parking lot! We came over the mountains into Lone Pine, CA and had […]
Today we spent the afternoon at Manzanar National Historic Site. This is a place we had never heard of until we came to this area, and we really weren’t expecting there to be much to do there. We were thinking we would probably be there for an hour or so and then on to something

Warning: This is a long one, so grab a snack and get comfortable. We had originally intended for this to be broken into two separate posts, but we didn’t have any cell service to upload the first one when it was ready, and in an effort to get caught up, we are making it one

Well. After our Valley of Fire visit, we had a couple of days that we didn’t have to be anywhere in particular, so we were planning to hang out in the camper and get some blog and video work done as well as a few chores around the camper. It is a good thing we

The weather has not cooperated with us the last few days. After our amazing snowshoeing and snow hiking adventures, we settled in for two solid days of rain. We worked on videos and blog posts, watched YouTube videos, read, internet searched, trip planned, etc. since we weren’t able to get out. We did take a

We have been on the road for two months today, so we thought we would reflect a bit and check in with how we feel like it has gone so far. We also asked some of our family and friends what questions they have for us, so we will get to some of those, too.

On Wednesday we said goodbye to Page and headed north to Zion National Park. This is the first time on this adventure that we are visiting somewhere we have been before. In 2020, we did a tour of Utah’s Mighty Five National Parks with some friends (Hi, Matt and Deven! We miss you on this

Our last two and a half days have been full of fun and exploration around Page, AZ. Heather says this has been one of her favorite stops on our trip, but she says that about everywhere we go! We didn’t have any campground reservations in the area, so we were hoping for a first come,
Our day today was spent at Petrified Forest National Park. This is one of those stops that we had planned, had to cancel due to weather, and then were able to reschedule later, so it was much anticipated! Petrified Forest is about an hour away from where we are staying, so we knew that we

Today we spent the afternoon in Winslow, AZ. We have actually been in the area for a couple of days, but the weather has kept us inside for much of it, so when the wind died down and the sun came out, we were happy to get out of the Bigfoot for a while. The
The last few days have been a bit of a roller coaster ride for us. There has been a good bit of fun, including visits to Jerome and Sedona, AZ, and some big disappointments. But let’s talk about the fun stuff first! As mentioned in our last post, we were staying in the Cottonwood, AZ

Yesterday was a good day. It was Heather’s birthday, so we wanted to be close to a decent restaurant for dinner, which led us to Cottonwood, AZ. Before dinner, though, we wanted to find something fun to do, and since the weather was nice we wanted it to be something outdoors. Tuzigoot National Monument was

We spent a couple of days in the Lake Pleasant area just north of Phoenix. We had one day of nice weather to explore the park area, so we will share a few of the photos we captured along the way. Until next time!

The Sonoran Desert is known as “the Green Desert” and if you look at the photo above, I think you will agree with us that the name is appropriate! On one of our hikes while here, we both repeatedly commented that we didn’t realize a desert could be so diverse and, yes, so green! Learning
