One night in Seneca Rocks, WV–Spring in the Mountains Quickie trip
We visited Seneca Rocks in April 2023, as part of our Spring in the mountains quickie. From White Sulphur Springs it was a scenic drive north to Seneca Rocks, with no cell service pretty much the entire way thanks to the NRAO. As I mentioned last post, be sure to download anything internetty you might…

Trip planning: Spring quickie to the mountains
We went on this little trip in April 2023. This post has been edited to include where we actually went! We haven’t had the Airstream out since November (despite only finishing the Big Trip #4 posts just a few weeks ago–it took us a while to write everything up!), and we’re itching to hit the…

Big Trip #4: Retrospective
Big Trip #4 was in fact a BIG trip! We covered a lot of ground and had all sorts of memorable experiences, and that’s why it took me almost four months to finish writing all the trip posts. My bad. But I love writing these retrospectives a few months after we get home because it…

While we were working on the Big Trip #4 Retrospective post, I had fun putting this one together. No, it’s not about our favorite restaurants! Here are the best places we ate on Big Trip #4, in chronological order:

One-and-a-half days in Palo Duro Canyon State Park, TX–Big Trip #4
We were in Palo Duro in early November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Did you know the second largest canyon in the US is in Texas? I assume I don’t need to say what the #1 largest is. We’ve had Palo Duro Canyon on our master map of possible camping locations for a few…

We were in Tucson at the beginning of November 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. Read about our first trip in 2018 here, our second in 2021 here, and our fourth in 2023 here. And I finally wrote a Tucson Favorites post! We weren’t supposed to go to Tucson during Big Trip #4. When building…

Three nights in Palm Springs, CA–Big Trip #4
We were in Palm Springs in late October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. The main reason we wanted to go to Palm Springs as we headed east from Oceanside on the coast was for its signature Desert Modern architecture–the local spin on mid-century modern, adapted for a sunny, leisurely lifestyle. J also wanted to…

Two nights in San Luis Obispo, CA–Big Trip #4
We visited SLO in late October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. San Luis Obispo was originally supposed to be the next stop after Santa Cruz. We pictured ourselves doing the entire scenic drive along Route 1 through Big Sur in one day from top to bottom; instead, we did the top half of…

Pinnacles National Park
We visited Pinnacles National Park for a few hours in mid-October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. We thought Sequoia National Park was the last national park we’d be visiting in California, and then we looked at the route from our campground in Three Rivers (near Sequoia) to our next campground in Marina, on…

Sequoia National Park
We spent two nights outside Sequoia National Park in mid-October 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. In Yosemite, we met our first giant sequoias, from a distance. In Kings Canyon, we got up close and personal with lots more sequoias, including enormous stumps and logging graveyards. Our sequoia grand finale was Sequoia National Park!…
