Though we could not get into the park when we wanted, we made it in this past weekend anyway after jumping a few fences, knocking out a Park Ranger, and … yea I am fibbing a bit. From the South side the roads were open and clear so we drove...
We left Bend with the purpose of visiting Crater Lake National Park, which Kerri had not yet been too. Originally, the plan was to migrate all the way to Klamath Falls and day-trip into the park from there, but Kerri found a nice spot to camp right outside of the...
I’ve been here before – deep into Oregon exploring and adventuring – but most of that time has been spent on the coastal side of the state with some day-touring of the mountains here and there, mainly to see the National Parks. When Kerri and I were planning out this...
We have moved a good distance since my last post back in Idaho, so allow me to catch up some… We left Stanley, Idaho with the plan of a single night’s stay in an established campground not far down the road at yet another hot spring. We thought we would...
I spent some time recently and merged the maps for each of my individual years of traveling since I started this lifestyle in late 2009. It took some serious effort since Google Maps has so many limitations on how many points and layers you can have on a single map,...
When we left Ketchum we were unsure where we were going to be staying that night. Our backup was an RV park in Stanley, Idaho. We were hoping to stay only a single night there, and depending on if there was good Verizon or not we would stay longer if...
With a day of exploring scheduled Kerri and I set out find a few items on the map. As luck would have it, we needed only travel on a single road to get them all in. The first of which is the ghost town of Bonanza, Idaho. Bonanza was founded...
I can tolerate it a bit more than Kerri; staying in a non-ideal location, that is. So while we were at the Hatchery and not feeling so great about it (not that it was a bad place to be) it was Kerri who made the call to find another place...
On the drive from the Grand Teton area to Craters of the Moon, we dropped in on Hell’s half acre. Although not a national park (or even a State park) Hell’s half acre is a lava field of more than 68,000 acres with one “hell” of a trail system on...
Ah… Craters of the Moon. I’ve had you on my to-do list every single year I’ve been traveling yet I never really made it into Idaho to drop in for a visit. This time around we get to meet. Every time I looked at a map of everywhere I have...
