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,...
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...
Sometimes you just have to take them as they come, and Saturday was one of those days. After a long-haul from Crested Butte we were nearing our destination of Hot Sulphur Springs. With the sun hanging low and our mood following the same path, we decided to scout a County...
We set out from Crested Butte on Saturday afternoon, with backpacks and supplies ready, navigated over Kebler Pass (our 3rd time already), all to visit a location less than 20 miles away from camp, as the crow flies. For us land-based-mammals we had to drive more than 80 miles to...
Before leaving Buena Vista we dropped in to take an afternoon tour at the Jumpin’ Good Goat Dairy. Kerri likes goats… but even more so she *loves* baby goats (preferably in pajamas), so it was a give in for us to go. I really do not need to say any...
Sure, most people would consider our nomadic lifestyle as already a vacation, and the low-stress life of living full time on the road does not necessarily beckon us to take a dedicated vacation or anything. But we did anyway, a reverse-vacation – from nomad to sitting still – a Noitacav....
Our week in the Mono Lake area has come to an end. A good week it was, with a good helping of hiking, sight seeing, and even socializing. Our week was spent with the most amazing view of Mono Lake on one side, the Eastern Sierras on another, and a...
The time has come for us to start heading North, and I must admit that I am happy about it. Surely, Baja has been great (at least parts of it), but I can only take so much desert-camping and beaches, you know. The call of mountains and trees are strong...
Now that we are in (or near) the tropics, the heat laid it on thick and Kerri’s ability to do anything came to a staggering halt. Eventually she just laying in the van until the sun began to set. Late enough in the day, and once the heat let up...
Well, that is it for San Felipe… for this trip at least. We camped on the beach for a week, explored numerous places to eat in town, and basically just beach bummed around for most of the time. I even tried my first few seafood tacos while here; Shrimp (not...
