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
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
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
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
It’s been a minute since I’ve been able to write. Hi! Brief life update: I injured myself working as a ski instructor, I’ve been on crutches for 2 months and counting, and I’m working about 60 hours a week between my desk work skiing replacement job (yay for Worker’s Comp!) and teaching for CU Denver.… Read More Conserving Water in an RV (and failing in a house)
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
