We’re home! I’m going to get all the posts up eventually–my computer is only working intermittently, so I have a new excuse for being slow to post–but wanted to catch you up on our last several stops as we popped...
I planned to break this into two posts, one for the national park, and one for non-national park information, but there isn’t enough non-national park stuff to warrant a separate post! We spent the vast majority of our two days...
Where? Yes. We were heading to Fargo from Charles City, and didn’t want to drive a million hours, so looked for a small town with character in Minnesota to stop at for the night. Our first choice was Red Wing...
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 of coastal Florida we’ve visited: quiet villages, uncrowded...
Pretty little St Augustine is VERY touristy, especially around the holidays. Here’s the first impression I jotted down on our initial trip into downtown: “Holy hell people everywhere.” The holiday crowds were NUTS. But after we figured out how to...
Campground After leaving Bar Harbor, we wanted to explore Central Maine’s coast, so we spent two nights at Megunticook Campground near the towns of Camden, Rockport, and Rockland. It’s a super friendly park, with a sweet doggy in the office...
After spending several days in Escalante, we hitched up the Airstream and drove over Hell’s Backbone (stopping for breakfast at Hell’s Backbone Grill of course), continued down Scenic Byway 12 to Capitol Reef National Park for a short hike, and...

We did this on our first Big Trip: camped in the Airstream beside our friends’ house in Northeast Denver. Like, in the city! It was a blast both times. We ate a ton, drank good beer, and had some adventures around...
