When I think back to our summer at Crawford State Park, it is almost perfectly separated into fourths: the move to our “permanent spot” and then the time after Pioneer Days, the time after Cherry Days/Fourth of July, and the time after the Delta County Fair. We arrived in Crawford in late May, just inContinue reading “Delta County Loves a Parade, Colorado”

Fields of Colorado Wildflowers
Being in the mountains of Colorado in the late spring and early summer was a gift that just kept on giving in the form of wildflowers. We took several drives higher into the mountains, or into other mountains, just to find as many varieties as we could. One of my many projects to tackle whenContinue reading “Fields of Colorado Wildflowers”
Overnight Trip to Atlanta
I had never bought a vehicle without seeing it, test driving it, and in general fretting about the details until we bought our first GMC Sierra AT4 in Atlanta. Yes, you read that right: the first one we bought. We actually did get to test drive the second one we bought in Pittsburgh, but IContinue reading “Overnight Trip to Atlanta”
Introducing Beulah: Our Fifth Wheel
Early in 2022, Will and I came to two very important realizations: 1) we are not ready to end this adventure, and 2) Cate was just not cutting it anymore. Obviously, we made the travel trailer work for well over a year and a half, but with Bird continuing to grow, our goals to beContinue reading “Introducing Beulah: Our Fifth Wheel”
48th State!
On our way out to Colorado, we had a mission: visit the final 4 states in the lower 48. Somehow, we had managed to skirt around Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri, and we knew we could make it happen. We had originally hoped to reach our 48th state on or just before Bird’s 3rd birthday,Continue reading “48th State!”
Celebrating 2 Years on the Road…with Covid
I had big plans for us to celebrate 2 years on the road. Okay, maybe it’s more accurate to say I had plans to have plans to celebrate. You know, like going out to dinner, going to get ice cream, blowing up a few balloons, something low-key but a celebration nonetheless. After all, we’ve livedContinue reading “Celebrating 2 Years on the Road…with Covid”
Survival Mode
For the past few months, it has felt like we have been operating in survival mode. We left Georgia with big plans to upgrade our truck and rig, and while we eventually achieved those goals, it was not without a lot of headaches along the way. Technically, we should have had our new truck whenContinue reading “Survival Mode”
Mother-Daughter Adventure to Etowah Indian Mounds, Georgia
Since coming to the mountains of north Georgia, I have been wary of driving. The ice and snow and rain that descended upon us as soon as we arrived played a part in that wariness, but mostly it was my anxiety. I had been to town a couple of times on my own, but forContinue reading “Mother-Daughter Adventure to Etowah Indian Mounds, Georgia”
Doing the Best We Know, Hiking the Amadahy Trail, Carter’s Lake, Georgia
We had Bird out of the pack doing some hiking when we finally got to a point on the Amadahy Trail where we could safely get down to the lake. The trail down was steep and slick with leaves, but we made it down with no issues. On the way back up, Bird was feelingContinue reading “Doing the Best We Know, Hiking the Amadahy Trail, Carter’s Lake, Georgia”
Giving Ourselves Grace and Breathing, Georgia
For us, camp hosting is a unique time in our adventure when we are stationary for a big chunk of time. This 3-month stay in north Georgia far surpasses any length of time we have stayed in one place since we began this adventure. It also means we are stationary long enough for family toContinue reading “Giving Ourselves Grace and Breathing, Georgia”
