adventures with a dog and an airstream
We spent three days in Kings Canyon in early October 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. From Yosemite, we continued south to the next Northern California national park, Kings Canyon. Do you know anything about Kings Canyon? Because we...
We spent three nights just outside Yosemite in early October 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. From Reno, it was a long (and expensive! gas prices in California!) 4.5-hour drive to our next campground near Yosemite National Park. Our...

We visited Ellensburg in mid-September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Looking to break up the seven-hour drive between Sandpoint and Mount Rainier, we stopped for a couple nights in Ellensburg, Washington. It’s a cute college town, home to...
