adventures with a dog and an airstream
We were in Eastpoint from February 23 to February 24, 2021. Read about our previous visit in 2020 here. Florida’s Forgotten Coast is a real hidden gem! It’s much quieter and less commercial than your average Florida coastal area, with...
We were in Lost Dutchman from February 10 to February 12, 2021. Lucky us: we left one absurdly beautiful Arizona state park and headed to another. From Catalina State Park just north of Tucson it’s a 1.5-hour drive up to...
We were in Catalina from February 8 to February 10, 2021. If you’re anywhere near Tucson, just go to Catalina State Park. Just go! Only about 20 minutes north of Tucson, Catalina is insanely gorgeous, the hikes are (mostly) dog-friendly,...
Ridgway State Park has been on our wish list map since our first Big Trip in 2016, and it made a good place to relax, reset, and come down from our Crested Butte high as we began the long loop...
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...
