The Reckless Choice

Live cheaply in an RV, work on the road, and see the world.

Petrified Forest National Park

We had a couple options for how to get from Santa Fe to the Grand Canyon, but we knew it was going to take us a couple days. So we decided to take I-40 as there looked to be a number of free or cheap campsites along the way. Petrified Forest National Park also just happened to be about half way and we would get to bag another National Park.… Read More Petrified Forest National Park

Mesa Verde National Park

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

2017 Route Proposal

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

Where We Went – 2016

It’s been a pretty good year! Both of us feel like it was one of the most “full” years of our lives so far. While we’re thankful to be taking the winter off to stay in one place and go skiing a lot, we’re also anxiously awaiting the spring to hit the road again. So,… Read More Where We Went – 2016

Bend, Oregon

Bend is a great little town. We spent 10 days just south of town (for a rare break in an RV resort), which allowed us to take in a lot of the town and the surrounding area. We really loved all the things Bend had to offer either in town or very close by. Awesome… Read More Bend, Oregon

Olympic National Park

Olympic National Park was awesome. I wish we could have stayed longer than a week! There was so much to do and such a huge variety. Mountains, seashores, rainforests, lakes, rivers, and more- I’d never been to somewhere with so many choices! We only scratched the surface. Since it’s so diverse, it is more “spread out”… Read More Olympic National Park

Oh, Canada! Adventures in Banff and Jasper

We are back Stateside after a very up-and-down 2.5 weeks in Canada. We loved Canada. Canada, we joked, did not always love us back. The Good It is gorgeous. Just absolutely spectacular. The mountains there blow Colorado’s out of the water, and I never thought I would say that. The exchange rate definitely works in our favor… Read More Oh, Canada! Adventures in Banff and Jasper

Breakdown on the Icefields Parkway (Canada)

Update: The RV is fixed and back in our hands. Check out the rest of the story at the bottom. A few years ago, our Subaru broke down at the tail end of a long road trip. We were on our drive back from Jackson, Wyoming to Denver- a 9 hour drive. We had driven… Read More Breakdown on the Icefields Parkway (Canada)

Glacier Summer Fun Camp

We had a bit of a hiatus from the blog and work a week ago because my parents and grandparents came to visit us and see Glacier National Park. We were joking that Allison and I basically ran an adult summer camp for them and looking back at all the pictures that seems pretty accurate.… Read More Glacier Summer Fun Camp
