  • Great Basin National Park

    Great Basin National Park

    We visited Great Basin in October 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. Great Basin National Park is one of the least visited National Parks in the entire system. Sure, it’s a million miles from nowhere (but really, not far from Las Vegas or Salt Lake City), but the remoteness means no crowds. Seriously, the road…

    One day in St Francis, KS–Big Trip #2

    We were in St Francis in October 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. Omaha to Denver is a long haul, and we wanted to get to Denver early in the day to avoid Friday afternoon traffic, so we needed an overnight stop. In the interest of getting Bugsy a new state (me too, actually!),…

    One day in Omaha, NE–Big Trip #2

    We were in Omaha in October 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. We were in Kansas City, headed for Denver, so it seemed the logical next stop was Omaha. Neither of us knew much about the city, other than the College World Series is held there (because we come from a school that won…

    One day in Kansas City, MO–Big Trip #2

    We were in Kansas City in October 2018 as part of Big Trip #2. Technically, we were here two nights and one day, if you’re wondering how we managed to cram in so much alcohol consumption. Overall, we found Kansas City to be interesting aesthetically, but we were turned off by all the closed storefronts…

    Airstream servicing in Greensboro and urban camping in Burlington, NC–Big Trip #2

    We were in Burlington in October 2018 at the beginning of Big Trip #2. We have parked the Airstream in my sister’s driveway in Burlington, NC, a couple times. It’s a wonderful campground! One especially exciting activity this visit: Bugsy got to meet her new cousin, Sabine the Dachshund! They ignored each other really well.…
