Unfortunately, our time there was quite smoky from the wildfires in CA and OR, and some local trails were closed from…

    Two days in Kalispell/Whitefish, MT–Big Trip #3

    We visited Kalispell and Whitefish in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Glacier National Park was incredible, but we were ready for fewer people and more hiking with Bugsy, so we relocated a bit to the west to hit a different section of Flathead National Forest. Two neighboring towns appealed to us as potential…

    One night in New Ulm, MN–Big Trip #3

    We visited New Ulm in August 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Where? Yes. We were heading to Fargo from Charles City, and didn’t want to drive a million hours, so looked for a small town with character in Minnesota to stop at for the night. Our first choice was Red Wing (no offense, New…

    We visited Indianapolis in August 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. And we’re off!
