    One night in Valley of the Gods, UT (visit #2)–Big Trip #3

    We stayed in Valley of the Gods in October 2020, during Big Trip #3. Read here about our first visit in 2016, during Big Trip #1. I spilled the beans about a super boondocking spot in my last post, so might as well keep rolling with the theme and tell you about another one. Valley…

    Two days in Escalante, UT (visit #3)–Big Trip #3

    We visited Escalante in October 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our first visit in 2016 here, and our second visit in 2018 here. Northern Utah is great, but southern Utah is really special. There’s something about those red/orange/white/swirly deserts that keeps us coming back. This was our third visit to Escalante; read…

    Two days in Ketchum, ID–Big Trip #3

    We visited Ketchum in August 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. This was a (literal) turning point in our trip: Initially we’d planned to scoot farther west, to see Crater Lake and Lassen Volcanic, visit some friends in Oregon and Reno, and return to Great Basin… and then all those forest fires all over the…

    Five days in Wilson, WY–Big Trip #3

    We visited Wilson in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. We had a plan for the Tetons: spend a couple days in Grand Teton National Park and do some hiking in the park, then move to the Jackson Hole area for a couple days to check out Jackson and hike with Bugsy outside the…

  • Four days in West Glacier, MT–Big Trip #3

    Four days in West Glacier, MT–Big Trip #3

    We visited West Glacier in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Theodore Roosevelt National Park put us into hyper-hiking mode, and we were so excited to get to Glacier National Park! Our sincere hope was that we’d arrive late enough in the season that we would miss the crowds but still get great weather…

    Theodore Roosevelt National Park

    We visited TRNP in late summer 2020 as part of Big Trip #3, and again in late summer 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. We’ve now been to Medora, North Dakota and Theodore Roosevelt National Park twice, and both times had an incredible experience because 1) the scenery is gorgeous, and 2) it’s not…

    Trip planning: Asheville, Nashville, Pisgah/Nantahala…

    In my opinion, trip planning is almost as exciting as trip taking! We’re starting to think about our biannual Asheville Airstreaming pilgrimage, and wondering what other explorations we can cram in while we’re out and about. Right now, we’re leaning toward a few days in Nashville in our favorite parking lot campsite, a couple days…

  • Two days in Lexington, KY–Big Bend Loop

    Two days in Lexington, KY–Big Bend Loop

    We visited Lexington in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. I am a horseperson. Not a literal horse-person hybrid (although my mom might disagree with that when remembering the behavior of my 12-year-old self), but someone who since age ten has loved horses almost as much as dogs (come on, nothing…

    One day in Fredericksburg, TX (visit #2)–Big Bend Loop

    We visited Fredericksburg in January 2018 as part of our Big Bend Loop trip. Read about our first visit in 2016 here and our third visit in 2024 here. Fredericksburg is a wee German-rooted town an hour west of Austin, and since we enjoyed our stay when we went through on our two years ago…
