Four nights in Tucson, AZ (visit #2)
We were in Tucson from February 4 to February 8, 2021. Read about our first visit in 2019 here. It’s a long drive from Marfa to Tucson! We don’t normally like to pull eight-hour driving days, but we were so...

We were in Big Bend from February 1 to February 3, 2021. Read about our past visits here: 2019, 2018, and 2016. We love Big Bend! Is it our favorite National Park? Maybe! It’s too hard to choose, but Big...
Mostly, anyways. We also ended up in Texas during the end-times freezing temperatures and power and water outages. Other than that, it was a wonderful trip! Here’s your teaser while I start to work on the trip posts. We had...
Cold weather is for the birds. Especially during the pandemic when all our activities are outdoors. So why not go to a place where the outdoors is more pleasant? Here’s the plan (and here’s what we actually ended up doing):...
This trip was a little weird. Wildfires altered our route: our initial trip plans included Oregon and California, but after experiencing the smoke in Montana, we rerouted. And Covid altered our behavior: no indoor eating or drinking, no museums, no...
Asheville is generally our first or last (or both) stop on any Airstream trip. We love this city–great hiking, food, beer, cocktails, and campground. It checks all our boxes! We’ve written extensively about our Asheville stays and didn’t do anything...
Pigeon Forge (and Gatlinburg next door), to us, is only worth visiting as a gateway to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. We did not like the town at all, but if you have read this blog at all you should...
After visiting the charming ski towns of Telluride and Crested Butte, we were excited to experience one more before turning for home. Breckenridge isn’t like those two pretty, quaint, happy little towns! It’s much glitzier; everything seems shiny and bigger...
Durango was one of our favorite stops on Big Trip #1, to the point where we wondered if we could live there. This time around it didn’t charm us quiiiiite so much. Maybe Crested Butte ruined us for other towns....
Ouray is right down the road from Ridgway, on the way to our next destination–a favorite from Big Trip #1—Durango. We visited briefly on that trip in 2016 on a day trip from Durango and were excited to get to...
