Last Friday, we moved on from the California coast to Tule Campground on Success Lake near Porterville, CA. This location was not selected because it is a particularly beautiful area or because there is a ton to do or see here. To be quite honest, we had an extra week between the coast and Yosemite, […]
We knew when we left Lone Pine that we wanted to head for the coast. Staying on the coast was proving to be difficult because a lot of the campgrounds are closed due to damage from recent storms and the ones that are open were already booked. Somehow, though, we managed to get a spot

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
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

Yesterday didn’t exactly go as planned, but we were able to recover and it turned out to be a good day! Our plan was to get up and head to Valley of Fire State Park in hopes of getting one of their first come, first served campsites and then spend the next couple of days

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.

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,
We mentioned in our Alamogordo post that life isn’t always fun and games, even when you are traveling full-time. Sometimes there are chores to do, work to get done, and then sometimes, you just need some down time! That has been the last couple of days for us. After staying at Dog Canyon Dispersed Camping

When we left Chosa Campground in the ice and cold, we moved to Brantley Lake State Park. In the two nights we stayed there, we pretty much just hunkered down to avoid the cold, so there isn’t much to say about that. We will admit, though, that it was nice to have a couple of
Our next adventure was Guadalupe Mountains National Park. We had managed to snag a couple of nights in the Pine Springs Campground right inside the park, so off we went! As I mentioned before, we always prefer to stay inside the parks when we can. This campground was unlike any other we have ever stayed

Big Bend National Park has been on our list of places to go for years, but because of its remote location in south-western Texas, we never made it until now. Once we knew that we were going to be on the road for an extended period of time and wanted to be in the southwest
