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 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...
When we left Bishop, we only had an hours drive North to get to our next week-long destination. Sure, we could have just driven those miles and be done with it, but where is the adventure in that? So, we took the long way to get there – by way...

Kerri has a spot. A spot that she must return too when within a days drive. A place that not only causes her to break out in smiles, but for those smiles to continue infecting her the entire time she remains. The Marin coastline – Point Reyes National Seashore to...
We thought Kerri had not been to Capitol Reef National Park, and since it wasn’t that far off our planned route, we went in for an afternoon visit. We were wrong (Kerri says it was because I gave her bad information, I say otherwise) as she recognized features pretty early...
Once an annual destination for me, it has been more than three years since I have been in Moab, Utah. March of 2014 was my last visit here to mountain bike as best I could. I can still recall all the muscle pains of the time, trying to keep up with...
We moved on after only a few days camped just outside of Durango. We didn’t move far, but we did move a few thousand feet up the San Juan Mountains to get back to free camping in the wild. Our spot, only a short hop from the first pass in...
