I didn’t do a very good job conveying just how much I have enjoyed camping up here above Twin Lakes, Colorado. We were lucky to have scored the boondocking spot we have. The place is beyond beautiful with a full 270 degree panoramic view on our own secluded hilltop. From...
We finally got to leave the “low elevations” of Longmont (only 5,000 ft) after the work week was complete. No I take that back. We didn’t just leave, we high-tailed it out of there. By 8:00 am we were dumping our tanks. By 9:00 am we were finishing up getting...
Kerri needed to fly out of Denver for the weekend so back to Colorado we went. I got to hang out with my son for a few unscheduled days while camping at the local Fairgrounds in town. It is not the coolest place to camp, but it would keep me...
Well, that’s it for Colorado. I got to spend some quality time in my home-state this year and I am thankful for it. Since I began this nomadic life I have failed to explore my own state as much as other states. It doesn’t help that the time of year...
Ever since June of 2015, hot springs have been somewhat of a let down. It was on our drive up the AlCan Highway that we stopped in at the Liard Hot Springs and soaked in easily the best hot spring there ever was. Ever since that day we have been...
Kerri and I came here knowing we would be stationary for two full weeks, mainly due to the holiday weekend. Not only did we want to not have to find another camping spot on a big holiday weekend – which always proves to be stressful – we also wanted to...
Just outside of Steamboat Springs proper is Fish Creek Falls trailhead. It is not a long or arduous trail by any means, only a quarter-mile or so downhill (although coming back up can be breathtaking, literally) but it leads you directly to historical bridge, at the foot of the waterfall,...
By chance we parked the Airstream pointing in a very exact direction. The first night camped up top of Rabbit Ears Pass I woke late at night with an enormous orange glow staring back at me up the length of the trailer. From my view in the bed, 25 feet...
On our way up to Steamboat Springs we passed by a brown-sign beckoning us to follow a gravel road to something called “Chimney Rock”. A quick search netted Chimney Rock National Monument, but considering it was a few hundred miles away, we knew it must have been a different Chimney...
So, yea… our plans changed [again] since we were last at Crested Butte. With a heat wave rolling through the state, we decided against going to Black Canyon of the Gunnison and then off to Dinosaur National Monument. Those areas were going to be seeing 90’s and up, and there...
