It was a short visit, being that Sequoia National park has no cell signal for us tospend the work week. Instead, we spent two of our weekend nights at the Lodgepole Campground and visited some of the main attractions in that area. First being the General Sherman tree –...
Saturday morning we left what was our home for the past week, hoping to find another camp site in Sequoia National Park. It was a risk, as the campground in King’s Canyon was near full the night before, but we had a big hike to pull off before. It came...
I’ve been on the road for years, and seen more than 100 National Parks across this country, but two that have always eluded me all this time is Kings Canyon and Sequoia. I have had to pass them by so many times only because I am never in this area...
We moved every two days this past week, partly due to the need for better solar, partly for the need of showers, and partly because we live in a van and can! It all started with a few days on a mountain above Oakhurst, CA. Although the area is...
We had canceled our reservations to camp in the Yosemite Valley because 1) we had both been there multiple times, and 2) the damn crowds. Instead we chose to visit the Hetch Hetchy Valley (a revisit for me) and hike out to a not-so-well-known water fall; Wapama Falls Even though 40...
We spent this past week in Grass Valley, with Kerri’s family, getting a ton of chores completed on the Airstream, storage units, my teeth, another small construction project for Big Blue, and the dog’s vaccinations. One plus side to it all was a consistent address for a week. That meant...
We originally wanted to spend the week outside of Virginia City in Nevada and take the Interstate over the Sierra’s when the time came to make that jump, but Virginia City just did not suit us. Instead we decided to keep heading North on Highway 395 and go see more...
We have been spending more and more of our time down some random dirt road, and I have to say it suits us just fine. Just a little bit of research on the maps gives us all sorts of ideas on roads that might lead us somewhere cool, and the...
We were not far out of Benton Hot Springs when we saw a dirt road leading off the asphalt and into a very cool looking canyon. Kerri and I both wanted to go see what was beyond, so we did just that and a pleasant surprise it was. It helps...
Boondocking location information is so easily found online thanks to the Internet now-a-days, which means many more people are camping on public land then when I started my travels in 2010. Add in the hordes that make the trek out into a beautiful scene just to impress their Instagram or...
