This was it man! This was the whole reason we came all this way; backpacking Cumberland Island National Seashore. It was months of planning, preparing, and a lot of anticipating, but the weekend was finally upon us. My back pain gone (again) and all the gear ready to go we...
The Ocmulgee National Monument is a prehistoric settlement site dating back 17,000 years, and just a few miles away from our camp in Macon, GA. I was going to take a few hours to go visit the Monument after we had arrived and setup camp, but Kerri found that for only...
Before our Thursday night on the town, Kerri and I ventured off into the Barataria Preserve to the south of the NOLA area. Barataria Preserve is a part of the Jean Lafitte National Historical Park and is primarily a large swamp (as is much of southern Louisiana. I’d have liked to kayak...
Our final weekend in the area, I made sure to score one of the few back-country camping sites in Big Bend National Park (park #79 for me) that would fit the trailer. The NPS doesn’t make it easy by ignoring the existence of internet and telephone all together. The only...
We finally made our move into Big Bend National Park over the weekend. With no requirement of Internet for 3 days, we could spend the entire time exploring and adventuring. Sadly, even though we tried to get one of the dispersed camping locations in the park large enough for the...
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...
Our original plan to start our 2017 year has been to jump over the Sierras and bring Kerri down into Death Valley for her first time. Unfortunately, the recent cold snap steered us to lower elevations and a safer driving route. It also gave us the opportunity to see a...
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...
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...
