Big Trip #3 Catch-up #2
I’m not doing a very good job keeping you all (Uncle Jim, I think it’s only you at this point) updated on our travels, am I? We’re packing so much into our days that I’m not super motivated to write posts at night, but don’t worry, I’m taking notes about our adventures and slowly working…

Two days in Hamilton, MT–Big Trip #3
We visited Hamilton in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Hamilton was great… until Hamilton was covered in smoke from the fires in CA and OR. We managed to get in a cuckoo amazing hike, eat some surprisingly good sushi, and hang out at a cool brewery, before the smoke drove us away. And…

Three days in Sandpoint, ID–Big Trip #3
We visited Sandpoint in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3. Read about our second visit in 2022 here. This was the point in the trip where we were supposed to turn north and head for Banff, long on my travel wish list! But alas, due to stupid Covid and the US’s inept handling…

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…

Glacier National Park
We visited the west side of Glacier National Park in September 2020, as part of Big Trip #3, and the east side in September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Glacier National Park is popular! All this popularity means crowds in the campgrounds, crowds in the parking lots, crowds on the scenic drives, and…

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…

Big Trip #3 Catch-up #1
Yes, I’m behind posting about Big Trip #3, and I’m just going to get slower because we’re into the good hiking territory now and that’s pretty much all we’re doing. And drinking beer. So in an attempt to keep you caught up if you’re following along in real time, here’s where we’ve been so far,…

Trip planning: the Smokies in the Spring
Expecting to travel this Spring with the current COVID-19 situation may be wishful thinking, but what better way to distract myself from the news than by dreaming about adventures? Before all this pandemic crap we were going to go to Great Smoky Mountains National Park in April. Hopefully even though we can’t go this Spring,…

Three days in Eastpoint, FL (visit #1)–Southeast Lollipop trip
We were in Eastpoint in early January 2020 as part of our Southeast Lollipop trip. Read about our second visit in February 2021 here. From St Augustine, it was an uneventful 4.5-hour drive across the top of Florida to Eastpoint, on the so-called Forgotten Coast of Florida’s panhandle. This area feels completely different to other parts…
