After Mesa Verde, the next logical place to go was Durango, CO. Durango was right up the road and we needed some work done on the RV. We went into Durango with some high expectations as a town we’d really enjoy and while it was fine, we were pretty disappointed overall. I think our impression… Read More Durango, CO
Did you know that Mesa Verde is the only National Park in the U.S. dedicated to the history of humans? It’s true! It makes Mesa Verde not only beautiful, as most parks are, but also unique and powerful. I’ll do my best to tell you about it, but you should definitely visit here if you… Read More Mesa Verde National Park
Nik is being slow with his Telluride post so I am skipping him. Ouray! Ouray is in the Southwestern mountains of CO. It’s pronounced “YOUR-ay” and has incredible steep mountains on all sides. You feel like you are sitting at the bottom staring up in any direction you turn. Prior to European-Americans settling in the… Read More Ouray, Colorado
On some of our other Solar Panel posts I’ve mentioned Handy Bob Solar as a good resource for people thinking about adding solar panels to their RVs. I recently was re-reading some of his stuff and realized that it isn’t very beginner friendly and some of his advice is getting out of date. So here… Read More Handy Bob Solar Summary
It’s been a while since our last update about where we are and what we’ve been doing so let me get you up to speed. We last left off in Salida, CO staying in the alley behind our friend’s house. Our stay there was excellent as usual. We also were able to get some packages… Read More Vail and the GoPro Mountain Games
One of the highlights of our Ruby-Horsethief rafting trip a couple weeks ago was the first side hike we got to do. I had heard about this awesome hike to the second largest concentration of natural stone arches in the world after Arches National Park and was really interested in it, but there wasn’t a… Read More Ruby-Horsethief Rafting – Rattlesnake Canyon Hike
After our stationary winter in Winter Park, we have hit the road once again. We celebrated our first anniversary of RV life on May 18, which is so wild! After packing up, we headed to Denver for a few days mostly to get a bunch of chores done that were easier to do in the… Read More Coming Full Circle: Beginning Year 2
We just got back from an awesome 3-day raft trip on the Ruby Horsethief section of the Colorado River. It’s right on the Colorado-Utah border and is a canyon adventure if I’ve ever seen one. Want to plan a trip like this yourself? I have a post for you! We had an amazing time on… Read More How to Plan an Overnight Rafting Trip: Ruby Horsethief edition
Last week we went on vacation! We wanted to do a camping trip with some Winter Park friends and figured out we could do a 3 day rafting trip on the Ruby Horsethief section of the Colorado River. It crosses the border between Colorado and Utah just west of Grand Junction, CO. We took a… Read More Ruby Horsethief Rafting Trip
Now that the ski season here has drawn to a close, we are eagerly anticipating picking up our RV travels again. With my injury and prolonged recovery (I was on crutches for 3 months and lost 10 lb. of muscle, which I’m working on rebuilding now), we weren’t sure if going very far afield would… Read More 2017 Route Proposal
