Most of you know by now that we travel with two Lectric XP 1.0 (first generation) E-Bikes. Because they are electric bikes, we really wanted a way to carry them that was out of the weather, meaning that we didn’t want to use a bike rack. Sure, we could put them on a rack and […]

We are wrapping up a few days at Mammoth Cave National Park in southern Kentucky. Since it is somewhat close to home, we have been here several times before, and because it is one of our favorite places to visit in Kentucky, it was one of the first places we thought of when we knew

If you have been following the blog for a while, you will know that the biggest disappointment of our trip thus far was having to cancel our Grand Canyon reservations in March due to snow. After this week, though, we are disappointed no more! Returning to Arizona this fall was never in our plans. We

Right up front, let us say this…We had a less than great experience at Great Basin National Park, but it does not mean that it isn’t an amazing place to visit. In fact, a lot of the reasons it wasn’t the best weren’t the fault of the park at all. We both really want to

If you know us at all, you know that we have had a love affair with Glacier National Park since our first visit in 2011. We love this park so much that this marks our ninth visit. We had actually not planned to come here this year, but we were so close that we couldn’t

We are currently in Waterton Lakes National Park, a place we have visited several times before, but things look quite different than the last time we were here. Last time we visited was in May of 2017 and in September of the same year, the park was devastated by the Kenow Fire. Over 38% of

After our stay at Riley Creek Campground near the entrance of the park, we ventured further in the park road to Teklanika Campground. The only way anyone is allowed to drive their personal vehicles past mile 15 at Savage River is by staying in this campground, and there are very strict stipulations for doing so.

We are so excited to be in Denali National Park! We have looked forward to this visit for a very long time, so when planning the trip we decided to book several nights in two different campgrounds in order to get a good feel for the different areas of the park. This post will chronical

First things first, when we left the redwoods on Sunday, we headed north into Oregon to a Harvest Hosts location, Aranaway Farm. It was amazing. It was mostly a horse farm, but there were also a couple of cows and some sheep and a goat. Many of the animals had free reign of the farm,
We are in Yosemite National Park! This is Jeff’s first visit, and while Heather was here as a teenager, she has always wanted to come back to experience it as an adult who can appreciate it a little more. It has been a much anticipated stop on this adventure and we were concerned for a

A few years ago after a visit to Great Sand Dunes National Park, we were telling our friend, Ken, about it and he said that if we liked dunes, we should definitely check out White Sands National Monument. This was before White Sands became a national park in 2019. We filed that away in the

After our adventures in Guadalupe Mountains National Park, we moved just 30 minutes up the road to Chosa Campground, which is a free campground on BLM (Bureau of Land Management) land. BLM land is a great option for travelers because camping on it is often free or very inexpensive. With this type of camping, all

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
