Two days in Laramie, WY–Big Trip #1
We visited Laramie in May 2016 during Big Trip #1. We didn’t do a whole lot in Laramie. It’s a sleepy Old West city, home of the University of Wyoming, a couple breweries, a charming little crossroads of a downtown, and not much else. Except for the first hour we were in town, the weather was terrible–snow and…

Five days in Fort Collins, CO–Big Trip #1
We visited Fort Collins in May 2016 during Big Trip #1. I have a strange personal attachment to Ft Collins. I had never been there, didn’t know much about it other than its general location north of Denver, but for some reason for something like twenty years I’ve always had a thought in the back…

Two and a half days in Denver, CO (visit #1)–Big Trip #1
We visited Denver in May 2016 during Big Trip #1. Read about our second visit in 2018 during Big Trip #2, and third in 2020 during Big Trip #3. We have intentionally skipped big cities on this trip, but we made an exception to see some friends in Denver, and had a blast. I love…

Five days in Buena Vista, CO–Big Trip #1
We visited Buena Vista in May 2016 during Big Trip #1. Buena Vista, a pretty little town with a special flair for river activities, sits in a valley surrounded by some of the tallest mountains in Colorado. Before you visit, you need to know that it’s pronounced “Byoo-na Viss-ta,” or just “Byoonie.” Don’t embarrass yourself. Campground Can…

Two days in Cortez, CO–Big Trip #1
We visited Cortez in April 2016 during Big Trip #1. After stopping for lunch at Farm Bistro in Cortez on our way to Durango, we knew it was a neat little town and would make a great base from which to visit Mesa Verde National Park, and from Cortez we would pick up the highway to…

Four days in Durango, CO (visit #1)–Big Trip #1
We visited Durango in April 2016, during Big Trip #1. Read here about our second visit in 2020, during Big Trip #3. Durango, like Flagstaff, is a town that we could see ourselves living in. Super outdoorsy, with breweries and restaurants and a neat little downtown area. This was another place where we extended our…

Three days in Bluff, Utah–Big Trip #1
We visited Bluff in April 2016 as part of Big Trip #1. We later boondocked just outside Bluff in Valley of the Gods just after this first Bluff visit, and then again in October 2020, during Big Trip #3. There’s not much going on in Bluff, except for the scenery outside of town, and an…

Three days in Moab, Utah–Big Trip #1
We visited Moab in April 2016, as part of Big Trip #1. Read about our second quickie visit in 2016 here, and our third visit in 2018 here during Big Trip #2. [If you’re reading these posts in order, you may be confused right now since the previous post was about a quick overnight in…

A day in the Airstream life–Big Trip #1
We wrote this post during Big Trip #1. I thought it would be interesting to share with you an example of a typical day for us on the road. But what is a typical day? Sometimes we’re coming setting up camp, or going and breaking down camp, or settled in a place and cooking meals and…

Practice Camping Trip #3: Roanoke, VA
Campground We spent the weekend at Dixie Caverns Campground, in Salem, VA. It seemed run-down, but safe. We do not recommend using the campground bathrooms, even to wash your hands. They refill propane tanks, the wifi was fine, and the TV channel selection was good, but overall it seemed overpriced. Exploring the Roanoke Area We really…
