Travel, on and off-road.
Oh, Montana, you have soothed my soul. If you could meet me underneath that Big Montana Sky, you wouldn’t regret it. Not for a second. Montana gives you big, seemingly endless, clear blue skies (they don’t call it big sky country for nothing), the greenest landscape we’ve seen in the west, and crystal-clear mountain lakes. …
We headed straight out of Utah and right into Idaho where there literally are fields and fields and fields of potatoes. And of course, with all of those potatoes we had to try Idaho Spuds for ourselves. They’re delicious. Our first day in Idaho we drove to Atomic City where the country’s first fatal nuclear …
Have you ever gotten an idea about a state you’ve never been to before? Like you think about what it’s probably like and that idea is what sticks in your head about that state. We’ve had those ideas challenged quite a bit lately. When I thought of Utah I’d think of Salt Lake of course …
As you probably know, Will and I have been planning this trip for the past few years. Along the way we’ve collected information from several people about must-see places and things to do. One of those things was to drive the Loneliest Road in America through Nevada. Fortunately, it was quite easy to plan our …
Hey ya’ll! Today (June 3) has been a blast. Days like this are days that make staying on this wild ride worth it. We set out early from the Coconino National Forest towards Nevada. We’re still doing quite a bit of desert driving, but it’s not nearly as hot as it was down in Texas. …
Hello from the road dear readers, It’s been a bit difficult to keep up with this blog as we’re finding out that we’re almost constantly having to regroup, reorganize, and replan.

After spending about four days in southern Texas, the elevation and cooler climate has been so enjoyable. After leaving Arkansas …

It’s almost the end of day 5 on the road and Will and I are sitting at camp off Forest Road 55 in the Ouachita (Wa-Keeta) National Forest near Hot Springs, Arkansas. This campsite has been perfect. We’re about 5 or 6 miles away from paved roads with no other campers or campsites around. The …

I'm writing this final post from the couch in my parent's house in Broadway, NC. We got here around 10:30 PM after leaving our campsite at Spruce Knob this morning around 5:00 AM. It's been an extremely long day because things went wrong. It's a bit hard at the moment, but we're trying to make …

This post is likely to be a short one. We've finally experienced a true zero-day. In the past, we've used our zero-days as days to restock on groceries and do laundry but we've learned that we really should just plan in an extra day for those chores and then a different day to serve as …
