Three days in Grand Junction, CO–Big Trip #1
We visited Grand Junction in April 2016, during Big Trip #1. So this is the point in our story where the random day in Moab slots in: the morning we were to leave Cortez, with the sketchy weather forecast in mind, we checked the highway conditions on the way to Ridgway, where we had planned

Two days in Cortez, CO–Big Trip #1
We visited Cortez in April 2016 during Big Trip #1. After stopping for lunch at Farm Bistro in Cortez on our way to Durango, we knew it was a neat little town and would make a great base from which to visit Mesa Verde National Park, and from Cortez we would pick up the highway to

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
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
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
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

Four days in Fredericksburg, TX (visit #1)–Big Trip #1
We visited Fredericksburg in March 2016 as part of Big Trip #1. Read about our second visit in 2018 here and our third visit in 2024 here. Greetings from charming Fredericksburg! You may have noticed a glaring omission in our route through Central Texas… We very much looked forward to spending time in Austin on
