We visited Capitol Reef in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our first visit to Capitol Reef here in 2016. After fueling up with a delicious breakfast outside Escalante, we zipped down the road to Capitol Reef National Park. We’d been to Capitol Reef before, and based ourselves in the little town…

One night in Stanley, ID–Big Trip #3
We visited Stanley in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Tiny Stanley is an outdoor adventurer’s town. It’s in the middle of nowhere, has a grocery, a couple cool-looking restaurants, and that’s about it… except for the scenic Salmon River and towering Sawtooth Mountains sprinkled with gorgeous alpine lakes. We were there for the…

We visited Big Bend in December 2018 during Big Trip #2. Read about our other visits here: 2021, early 2018, and 2016. Early December must be one of the best times to visit Big Bend National Park. The campground and trails were quiet and sparsely populated, the weather was pleasant, and look at that color in the…

Those concepts are especially important when you live in a tiny house, and even more so when you share your tiny house with another…

The Other Co-Most Valuable Winter Airstream Gadget: a space heater
A while ago I wrote about the fabulous job our excellent new dehumidifier has been doing to keep our tin can home dry all winter while we three creatures are doing a lot of indoor exhalation. Its co-MVP for Airstream winter comfort is… drumroll… a Vornado space heater! [Update: our Vornado has since conked out and been…

Co-Most Valuable Winter Airstream Gadget: our new dehumidifier
In December, I put together a list of our favorite gadgets and gizmos that make our RV life happier. One of those gadgets was our cute little dehumidifier that would sit on the kitchen counter or bedside table and merrily chug away, pulling moisture from the air. Occasionally we’d see some water on the wall or…
