We visited Lake Tahoe in early October 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. J and I had been to Lake Tahoe before: we went skiing at Homewood a million years ago, and while we don’t remember where we stayed...
We spent two nights near Lassen Volcanic in early October 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. We had originally booked three nights for our Lassen Volcanic stop, but after being underwhelmed by our first hike, we decided to leave...
We visited Bend in late September 2022 as part of Big Trip #4. You can’t drive from Mount Rainier to Crater Lake and not stop in Bend! Everything you’ve read about Bend’s coolness is true. We loved it. Mountains, waterfalls,...
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...

We were in Ormond Beach from 1/26 to 1/28/2022 as part of our Florida in January trip. Most of our Florida trip was planned out way in advance, by necessity: many popular campgrounds and state parks get booked up as soon as...
We were in Gainesville from 1/24 to 1/26/2022 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...
