Our desire to explore won out. After a morning in the campground we headed out. This afternoon Docent Lisa greeted us in the living room of the Mardy & Olaus Murie House, part of The Murie Ranch, an enclave within Grand Teton National Park. Although we had not...
When it became evident to us that a visit to Grand Tetons could in fact fit into our eastbound itinerary, we focused on Gros Ventre Campground. One of its charms is that all 300 campsites are first come first served. There's no one here who made their reservation...
Ranger Shanna was our guide today as we and Burlington Camp Host Karen trekked through the Drury-Chaney Grove just south of the town of Pepperwood, California. This grove is awesome. Since her three visitors all have a basic knowledge of Redwood biology, Shanna...
The Redwoods called and we listened. We came home to Burlington. It's our fourth stay in this magical grove and in fact our second stay on Site 53. Ever since we pitched a tiny tent under these glorious trees in 2008, Burlington has had a special place in our hearts....
One of the delights of Burlington Campground is that it is immediately adjacent to the Humboldt Redwoods State Park Visitors Center. We took advantage of the proximity this afternoon to be the only two visitors on Ranger Codi's interpretive talk along the Gould Grove...
It was a great day to just poke around on The Avenue of the Giants between Richardson Grove south of Benbow north to Myers Flat. It's a trip down memory lane. We first traveled this stretching 2008 but it was in 2014 that we lingered here and first started geocaching....
See Park Video See Time Laps Video Getting up early this morning truly paid off. We'd made the short drive from the campground to Bear Gulch last evening to get our bearings so we knew where we were going this morning shortly after dawn. We were the first to hit the...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-3FY5ijhVI&app=desktop Although it was a national monument beginning in 1908 and officially a national park beginning in 2013, Pinnacles National Park wasn't even on our radar until about a week ago when we were searching the...
Anyone who has followed our blog for any length of time will know that we are fascinated with the stories of the 19th Century emigrant trails. The Oregon Trail, the Mormon Trail, the California Trail all hold a fascination for us. Sometimes it's prominent...
See Park Video After the dam tour we briefly checked out the marina but didn't stay long since the restaurant wasn't open so we headed east to the Dutch John Resort for a nice sit down lunch before heading west to the Red Canyon Overlook. Wow! What incredible views....
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

It was a fabulous opportunity to not only view the 2024 Solar Eclipse from within the path of totality but also to enjoy a five day weekend with friends from the T@B trailer community at Ohio’s East Harbor State Park on the shore of Lake Erie.
Spent a most enjoyable March sunny day watching alligators and hiking in St Mark’s National Wildlife Refuge south of Tallahassee, Florida.
Eight nights at sea aboard Carnival Pride gave us visits to Costa Rica, Cayman Islands, and a Panama Canal Partial Passage as well as lots of fun, camaraderie, and of course dancing.
