    Four days in Durango, CO (visit #1)–Big Trip #1

    We visited Durango in April 2016, during Big Trip #1. Read here about our second visit in 2020, during Big Trip #3. Durango, like Flagstaff, is a town that we could see ourselves living in. Super outdoorsy, with breweries and restaurants and a neat little downtown area. This was another place where we extended our…

    A day in the Airstream life–Big Trip #1

    We wrote this post during Big Trip #1. I thought it would be interesting to share with you an example of a typical day for us on the road. But what is a typical day? Sometimes we’re coming setting up camp, or going and breaking down camp, or settled in a place and cooking meals and…

  • Hiking in Sedona, AZ–Big Trip #1

    Hiking in Sedona, AZ–Big Trip #1

    We visited Sedona in March 2016 as part of Big Trip #1. The scenery in Sedona is gorgeous, with towering red rocks in every direction you look. The problem with all that beauty so close to a town is that the town is overrun with people shopping, eating, hiking, driving really slowly, causing a dusty racket on…

  • Five Days in Flagstaff, AZ (visit #1)–Big Trip #1

    Five Days in Flagstaff, AZ (visit #1)–Big Trip #1

    We visited Flagstaff in late March 2016, as part of Big Trip #1. Read about our second visit in 2018 here and our third in 2023 here. Flagstaff is winning the “Could you live in this town?” game, tied with Asheville, a town with which it has many similarities. It has fun, funky downtown area…

  • Three days in Santa Fe–Big Trip #1

    Three days in Santa Fe–Big Trip #1

    We visited Santa Fe in March 2016 as part of Big Trip #1. We had a fantastic stay in Santa Fe, but we struggled a bit to get a real feel for the city. There are several distinct neighborhoods, connected by highways and strip mall corridors. Downtown is touristy; the Railyard District has a mix of…

    Three Days in Ft Davis, TX–Big Trip #1

    We visited Ft Davis in March 2016 as part of Big Trip #1. On our big wish-list map of places we want to hit on this trip, we have two dots in far southwest Texas: Big Bend National Park, and the town of Marfa. Marfa is on several “best small towns” lists that we came…

  • A half day in Waco, TX–Big Trip #1

    A half day in Waco, TX–Big Trip #1

    We visited Waco in March 2016 as part of Big Trip #1. No offense to Waco, but we didn’t seek it out as a specific destination, rather as a stopover to break up the drive from Hot Springs to Fredericksburg, TX. We didn’t expect to do much there, but we had a good time! Camping…

    Two days in Hot Springs, AR (visit #1)–Big Trip #1

    We visited Hot Springs in March 2016 as part of Big Trip #1. Read about our second visit in 2018 here. We arrived in Hot Springs, set up camp, zoomed downtown, walked around for about an hour, and then it started raining. It hasn’t really stopped since. I was awoken last night around 3 by the strange…
