We have been on a bit of a whirlwind tour the last few weeks. We have been moving a lot faster and farther than we did at the beginning of our trip. We’ve also been able to spend less time in each place. Mostly, this is due to weather. It’s solidly fall now, and when… Read More Antelope Island State Park, UT
Boise is a small city that really values the outdoors. I’d say that it grew on us the longer we were there. At first, it felt like a big city. Driving into downtown Boise feels remarkably similar to driving around downtown Denver. Then we realized, though, that downtown Boise is just very dense. It’s only… Read More Boise, Idaho
When we were preparing to hit the road, we knew we needed WAY less stuff. We got rid of almost everything and embraced a minimalist lifestyle, which has been great for RV life. Some of our ideas about what RV life would look like have ended up being different than the reality. So, what things… Read More RV Stuff We Really Needed: Organization
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
When we were preparing to hit the road, we knew we needed WAY less stuff. We got rid of almost everything and embraced a minimalist lifestyle, which has been great for RV life. However, we needed some things. After all, we still wear clothes, cook food, take care of our dog, and so on and so… Read More RV Stuff We Really Needed: The Kitchen
Not only did we have a great time in Olympic National Park, we were also right by the ocean! We made the most of it with sea kayaking and a couple days on the beach. I’m trying to play catch up on my blogging game and make sure we tell you about all this cool stuff.… Read More Sea Kayaking and Ocean Shores, WA
One of the things that we really wanted to do while we were on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington was check out the Northwest corner of the continental US, Cape Flattery. Cape Flattery also happens to be only about 360 feet shy of the westernmost point, Cape Alava, which is just a couple miles south. Before… Read More Cape Flattery
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
We talk a lot about boondocking, or “dry camping.” We love it, but it isn’t the norm for RV full-timers and it certainly takes a lot of work! We figured we’d give the “crash course” in boondocking for those who want to know more about what exactly it entails. First, recognize that boondocking is not… Read More Boondocking 101
We found salt water! Specifically, Puget Sound. Deception Pass State Park was a really neat place to visit and hike around on sea cliffs. Here is a map, so you get the idea: Cool, right? The park was a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) site during the Great Depression. With the CCC, FDR put 3 million… Read More Deception Pass State Park, WA
