One of the great things about traveling the country is visiting places where we have family or friends. When we made our reservations in Wisconsin, we reached out to one of Will’s cousins who lives a few miles from the campground. In addition to getting to see them and catch up, which was so muchContinue reading “The Ice Age Trail in Janesville, Wisconsin”

Checking Off Illinois at Rock Cut State Park
Even though we had driven through Illinois the day before, we had not met our criteria for checking it off our map, so we headed south from our campground in Wisconsin back to Rock Cut State Park just outside of Rockford, Illinois. When we began this adventure, we knew it was next to impossible forContinue reading “Checking Off Illinois at Rock Cut State Park”
Getting Wind Blown at Indiana Dunes National Park
One of the main reasons for our stay in western Michigan was the proximity to Indiana Dunes National Park. It is one of the newest National Parks, only being named such in 2019 after being a National Lakeshore since 1966. The Park is a patchwork along Lake Michigan, with a town, several steel mills, andContinue reading “Getting Wind Blown at Indiana Dunes National Park”
Campground Review and Hike at Maumee Bay State Park, Ohio
Our first stop after leaving Pennsylvania was at Maumee Bay State Park in northwest Ohio. The park is situated along Lake Erie just outside of Toledo and was an unexpected gem.

However,Continue reading “Campground Review and Hike at Maumee Bay State Park, Ohio”
The Road Ahead
We left western Pennsylvania this week, and while we are beyond excited to continue our adventure, this goodbye was harder than any previous one.

Harvest Hosts Stay at Apple Hill Orchards, Ohio
We had another incredible stay at a Harvest Hosts location, this time at Apple Hill Orchards in Ohio.

We are always up for a visit to a botanical garden, and the gardens at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill did not disappoint.

Hiking in Nature’s Church at Piedmont Environmental Center, High Point, North Carolina
On a recent Sunday morning, we made our way to the Piedmont Environmental Center for a nice morning hike along High Point Lake.

Traversing Pilot Mountain, North Carolina
During our first visit to the Winston-Salem area in early December, we visited Pilot Mountain State Park. However, it was incredibly windy and cold, so Will and I took turns dashing up to the overlook while the other stayed in the warm truck with the girls. Thankfully, our second trip was on a much nicerContinue reading “Traversing Pilot Mountain, North Carolina”
The Day We Planted the Seed: Deciding to go Fulltime on a Walk in North Park
It was a year ago today that we took what turned out to be a fateful walk. It was the beginning of quarantine, and we decided to check out a new trail in North Park, about 10 minutes from our house, hoping it would not be as crowded as some of the more popular trails…asContinue reading “The Day We Planted the Seed: Deciding to go Fulltime on a Walk in North Park”
