On our way to find dispersed camping outside of Jackson, WY, we drove through a portion of Grand Teton National Park and stopped to take pictures of a bison herd. The camping we were headed to is in the Bridger-Teton National Forest outside of the National Elk Refuge. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see anyContinue reading “The Teton Range: Stunning Views, Incredible Dispersed Camping”

Wind Cave National Park: In Pictures
While exploring the Black Hills, we drove to Wind Cave National Park. I have to admit I had never heard of it, but there are a lot more national parks than the ones that I knew about. We could not explore the cave (it sounds interesting) because we had Poppy with us. Instead, we walkedContinue reading “Wind Cave National Park: In Pictures”
Lessons From the Slow Lane
We’re in our 3rd month of living in our little van that can. I am already loving it and have to keep reminding myself that this isn’t a vacation and that there is no other home we are returning to. I am taking it all in and learning things along the way. Never Be InContinue reading “Lessons From the Slow Lane”
Exploring the Ozarks
After leaving Joshua Tree National Park and staying at rest areas on the interstate, we were more than ready for some more camping. We headed to the Ozarks in Arkansas. Our only previous experience in Arkansas was staying in a rest area on the way to California. I was excited to see what Arkansas hadContinue reading “Exploring the Ozarks”
KOA Nostalgia
With visions of snow in our heads and cold in our bones, we were determined to drive the more southern route back to Ohio. Even if that meant driving through Oklahoma again with its lack of rest areas on I-40. Despite already blowing our budget on excessive travel in such a short period of timeContinue reading “KOA Nostalgia”
Starwagon Lands In Roswell
We were ahead of schedule getting back to Ohio. A fun side trip off of the interstate was in order. Roswell was calling the Starwagon. Off the interstate, we went. We drove through several small towns that were mostly abandoned. We could tell that at one time these were stops for tourists on the wayContinue reading “Starwagon Lands In Roswell”
Joshua Tree National Park, a Missing Campground & a 4wd Adventure
We’ve always wanted to visit Joshua Tree National Park, and it’s crazy that in all of the years that I’ve visited Palm Springs, I hadn’t. Well, that all ended during this trip. Although Joshua Tree is only about an hour away from Palm Springs, we arrived at the dispersed campground outside of the park’s southernContinue reading “Joshua Tree National Park, a Missing Campground & a 4wd Adventure”
The Search For Butane & Other (Mis)Adventures
If you read my previous post about our off-road, 4wd, rock-crawling adventure, you may see that we are two people who live by the seat of our pants and don’t do too much research or planning before plunging into something. The following post expands on that theme and follows our usual modus operandi. It startsContinue reading “The Search For Butane & Other (Mis)Adventures”
Palm Springs, the Nude Bowl, & Endless Beauty
The ultimate destination of our first week of travel was to get to Palm Springs to visit my parents. I had originally hoped to visit for one of the following: Thanksgiving, my birthday, Christmas, or New Year’s. We finally made it though. I have loved visiting my parents and more since they moved to PalmContinue reading “Palm Springs, the Nude Bowl, & Endless Beauty”
Blue Skies & Snow Storms
We ambitiously decided to make our first travel adventure a cross-country trip to visit my parents in Palm Springs, California. Starting out in Ohio during January meant that we were in a hurry to put distance between us and the cold quickly. Especially after the brutal cold that had come our way the week before.Continue reading “Blue Skies & Snow Storms”
