Every time I speak with someone about going to Lassen they bring up Burney Falls and how it is a “must see”. With all the references I made sure to include it on the map of destinations that I “must see” while exploring California. Initially, Kerri and I thought we...
A peaceful night at Hay Meadows is where we left off in the story, although I did leave out the hordes of mosquitoes due to the marshy landscape just a few feet out our door. Kerri and I are just beginning to accept that it is the season for those...
I’ve always dreamed of spending a chunk of my life off-asphalt – just driving for days on the dirt and gravel forest roads that sprinkle the West. I’ve always shy’d away from it though, some times due to the hit in my mileage and others from the safety concerns. He...
After all of Big Blue’s spa week, we finally got on the move again. Although it had only been just over a week of visiting both families, it felt like an eternity of stationary life. Northbound was our direction, although we would end up tossing in a whole lot of...

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...
