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
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
At the end of last year when we moved into the apartment, the RV had a lot of little annoying things wrong with it that we kept saying “we’ll fix that before we head out again next year.” They were like paper cuts, individually not show stoppers, but certainly annoying especially in large number. So… Read More Fixing Paper Cuts
When we first started planning the trip, we decided that we wanted to rent out the house we own in Denver, CO. We didn’t want to deal with selling right away and the knowledge that we could always move back in after a year in case we hated the mobile life was comforting. So we… Read More Renting the House – One Year Checkup
I figured out a (not very) secret way out of Winter Park Resort. Turns out you can ski all the way from the back of the resort to a quarter mile from our house. I was pretty stoked to find out our house was actually at least ski-in/bus-out. But let me walk you through how it… Read More The Back Way Out of Winter Park
We’ve been hosting a lot of friends and family in the past couple months (staying five minutes from a Colorado ski resort makes us a popular destination 🙂 ). My high school friends Jay and Caela were here a couple weeks ago and my parents and Allison’s aunt Ann were here in early March.… Read More Winter Fun Camp 2017
I really like tracking data and doing statistics. I’m a nerd an engineer. So on our trip, every time we filled up the gas tank, we recorded our odometer reading and how many gallons we put in. Some Excel slicing and dicing and we get some cool insights. First off if you’re just joining us,… Read More RV Fuel Economy
I did an interview with the tech news website ArsTechnica about the costs and benefits of installing solar panels on our home in Denver (which we now rent out) and the article just went live a couple days ago: https://arstechnica.com/science/2017/02/solar-power-is-it-for-you/. It isn’t really RV related but we’re still pretty proud of being featured and we’re… Read More Solar on our House
This past weekend we took a trip to Squaw Valley near Lake Tahoe to go to our friends’ wedding. We had a wonderful time! The ceremony was beautiful, the reception was fun, we got to catch up with a number of friends we hadn’t seen in years and it was all around a wonderful time.… Read More Snowed out of Skiing
One of the hardest things for us about living in the RV was that we had trouble getting to know people. We always were “in town for a week or so” so we never got to meet the same people multiple times and really form close friendships with them. Now that we’ve been stationary, we’ve tried… Read More Getting to Know People Again
