The final day of our travel weekend brought us to Carlsbad, New Mexico. Here we would visit the Carlsbad Caverns National Park and even a quick trip to Guadalupe Mountains National Park. Again, I have been to both in my past, but Kerri had been to neither in her adulthood....
We had only three days to do it in. Not only to make the 500 mile drive from Las Cienegas National Conservation Area to Carlsbad, New Mexico, but to see four National Parks in the process. If we could knock them all out in one weekend, then we could high-tail it...
After leaving our New Years get together we moved onward, towards our ultimate winter destination of New Orleans. There are a large number of places in Arizona to stay for the work week, but we went for a location that neither of us have been too in the past (greatly...
I have not done this in the past, but this year we stayed in some pretty spectacular places that deserve to be shared, even though I know that sharing them will only cause them to be more populated in the coming years. That’s OK though, as I try my best...
After leaving Southern California, we made our way all the way to the Phoenix area where we originally planned to stay the work week at Buckeye Regional Park. Instead, we continued on, turning south. Ajo, Arizona was our new destination and we made it just before sunset after a full...
The final week before arriving at Kerri’s parents property in Grass Valley, and what will start five to six weeks of staying put (mostly) between our respective family’s homes, was spent just a few hours north, at Eagle Lake near Susanville, CA. I admit that I was not expecting anything...
We left Klamath Falls in the late afternoon on route to cross into California for a night’s camp in the national forest just outside of Lava Beds National Monument. Less than a two-hour drive, we arrived shortly before sunset and found the spot we researched to be too small for...
I happily went along with the idea of extending our stay in Oregon. Kerri discussed it with me back in Idaho, and she knows damn well how I feel about California. I am forced to return to my most-despised state eventually, but entering only at the last minute an exiting...
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...
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...
