Making our way to Colorado, we stopped in the ghost town of South Pass City to visit family. This little town used to be a gold mining camp, and is a few miles north of the Oregon Trail. We were there right after the tourist season ended, and the buildings in town were being closed … More South Pass City, Wyoming
Even on an overcast day, this park is breathtaking. We went to the visitor’s center to see what was going on in the park that week, and found out that the moose were very active, defending their ladies and fighting for more. Of course, we launched on a mission to find them. Before we could … More Grand Teton National Park
We’ve been to Yellowstone as kids, but there was always a time limit, as we had to get back to school, and parents had to get back to work. This time, we had no schedule, and were able to explore much more of the park. As we made our way towards West Yellowstone, we were … More Yellowstone National Park
The journey to this park was fun. We got more dispersed camping in, stopped to visit friends along the way, and found free camping behind the 50,000 Silver Dollar Bar in Haugan, Montana. Glacier is a beautiful park, especially in the fall when we were there. Best of all, we finally saw our first bear! … More Glacier National Park
Olympic National Park is near and dear to our hearts, as it is where we went on one of our first camping trips ‘back in the day’. We returned to Sol Duc for a little stroll down memory lane. We noticed something different about how this park manages their campsites, and really wish more parks … More Olympic National Park
We think the repairs are done. Before we wander too far, we thought we should revisit parks close to home. First up, the exquisite Mt. Rainier National Park. Even though we were still in the middle of wildfire season, a recent rain cleared the air a bit, and we were able to enjoy the amazing … More Mt. Rainier National Park
Next to Sequoia, is Kings Canyon National Park. We were lucky to find a somewhat secluded campsite in the campground, with regular visits from a family of deer. At this point, the cracked frame was visibly getting worse, so we were happy to be close to trail heads and able to take a leisurely … More Kings Canyon National Park
Our plan was to make the journey home to repair the camper while visiting as many parks as we safely could along the way. In addition to our own challenges, we needed to negotiate around many wildfires raging in California. There was a bit of a haze in the air, and the smell of smoke … More Sequoia National Park
Heading south along the California coast, we stumbled upon some roadside waterfront camping at the Rincon Parkway Campground near Faria Beach. The amenities were limited, with just a port-a-potty, but the view more than made up for it. It seemed to be a pretty popular camping area, with all available spaces vanishing within an hour … More California Beaches
Our amazing Hearst Castle guide raved about a cafe in Morrow Bay, so of course, we had to go check it out. As we neared the parking lot, we saw something from hubby’s past. There sat a Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle (DSRV). In the 1960s, hubby’s father was one of the chief design engineers of … More Morrow Bay
