Waterton Lakes National Park
We spent four days in Waterton Lakes in September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. We love Glacier (it might be our #2 favorite national park?), and since I was a kid I had always dreamed of visiting Banff National Park. I didn’t know about Waterton Lakes, Banff and Glacier’s middle sibling. What an…

Three nights in St Mary, MT–Big Trip #4
We visited St Mary in early September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. After super hiking in Theodore Roosevelt National Park and a subpar experience in Great Falls, MT, we finally landed in the Glacier area! We first visited Glacier National Park on Big Trip #3 in 2020, and the east side of the…

One night in Medora, ND (visit #2)–Big Trip #4
We visited Medora in early September 2022, as part of Big Trip #4. We first visited in 2020 during Big Trip #3. When we visited Medora and Theodore Roosevelt National Park for the first time, in 2020, I didn’t bother writing a separate post about Medora, the tiny town just outside the national park. There’s…

Two nights in Duluth, MN–Big Trip #4
We were in Duluth in August 2022, as part of Big Trip #4 We read about Duluth somewhere on a “best of” list–who knows where or when, but we throw things we read onto a master map, and when planning trips we consult the master map. So Duluth became part of Big Trip #4, connecting…

Indiana Dunes National Park
We visited IDNP in August 2022, as part of Big Trip #4 Indiana Dunes National Park, like Cuyahoga Valley National Park, is an urban park. It’s one of the newest national parks in the US, protecting an important shoreline ecosystem on Lake Michigan, and providing accessible nature experiences to people who live in near cities.…

Cuyahoga Valley National Park
We visited Cuyahoga Valley National Park in August 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. Yellowstone, Grand Canyon, Yosemite… Cuyahoga Valley National Park? Don’t go to Cuyahoga expecting dramatic vistas and crazy wildlife. It’s an urban park, squeezed between towns and along highways, with no escape from the constant drone of traffic. But the woods…

Florida in January: Retrospective
We were in Florida from 1/2 to 2/2/2022. It seems obvious, but: spending January in a warm place is a great idea. We weren’t sure if we’d like spending so much time in Florida, and while we didn’t love all of the Florida we saw, we did love some and would return to a few…

Two days in Gainesville, FL–Florida in January trip
We were in Gainesville in January 2022 as part of our Florida in January trip. The drive from Bronson to Gainesville is under an hour, but we were slower due to a stop in Williston for new Airstream batteries to tide us over until we can replace the entire battery/converter system in April. Remember how our converter…

Two nights in Homosassa, FL–Florida in January trip
We were in Homosassa Springs in January 2022 as part of our Florida in January trip. Spoiler: FINALLY WE SAW MANATEES AND IT WAS GLORIOUS!!! In our original route-planning, we were shooting for a stay in Crystal River, just north of Homosassa, but couldn’t get a campsite there. Both towns are wintertime manatee meccas as the…

Three nights in Palm Harbor/Dunedin, FL–Florida in January trip
We were in Palm Harbor in January 2022 as part of our Florida in January trip. From Venice, it’s a two hour drive up to the Dunedin/Palm Harbor area, just north of Clearwater and northwest of Tampa. The shortest route includes the bonkers Skyway bridge, which was scary to pull the Airstream over on a windy…
