As we made our way back to the coast, and our journey south, we saw a sign for Hearst Castle. We had heard a little about it, but really didn’t know what to expect. We had time, so we decided to go check it out, and we are so glad that we did. All we … More Hearst Castle
We started at Pebble Beach, where we explored the famed 17 mile drive. This self-guided tour was pretty cool, and allows you to take as much time as you want at each of the clearly marked stops along the way. Our plan was to travel from Pebble Beach all the way down Highway 1, maybe even … More Big Sur – Highway 1
While we were exploring Joshua Tree, a nice man told us we had to check out Pinnacles National Park, that it was a beautiful little park too many miss, and we are so glad we went. The two sides are only connected by hiking trails that were beyond our skill set. There is no vehicle … More Pinnacles National Park
Joshua Tree was a spectacular park, with two different desert ecosystems to explore, and amazing camp grounds that were only $15 a night. Since it was ‘off-season’, reservations were not required for most campgrounds, and we stayed at a few of them. Each campground was amazing, were located at different elevations and offered a variety … More Joshua Tree National Park
We can’t take a road trip without checking out this scenic byway. We’ve included 66 in our travels over the years, and it is always inspiring to learn more about the history of those who made the migration west so many years ago. We met a nice couple at a blues brothers tribute show … More Route 66 & Oatman
This park was certainly named appropriately. Hot doesn’t begin to cover it, everyday brought a new health advisory from the park rangers. The park is open year round, and since it was off season, we were able to drive in and get a great campsite with wonderful views. The sites had both water and power, … More Valley of Fire State Park
There is something about bright sunshine and hot weather that just makes us happy. Our moods improve, our bodies start to feel better, and everything just seems right in the world. That being said, we were about to embark on our first real weather test. Can we handle 100+ degree heat on this journey? Thankfully, … More Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area
Choosing to RV it around the country to see all the National Parks and lower 48 states means we can take our time, take as many breaks as we want/need, and we can stay as long as we want at each destination. We love all the rest stops along the interstates, and have felt very … More Eastern Washington
I’m on a boat. … More Cruise to Alaska
New Year, new me – that means posting on the blog again! Yes, a day late, but we had to go see what they consider to be a polar bear plunge down here in Florida….lots of costumes, lots of awesome silliness, and far too many speedos (ew). We have been told by family that they … More Happy 2019!
