It was another scorcher as we made our way into Spokane. Our campground was situated just enough in the hills north of the city that we had some relief there, but the heat became absolutely oppressive as we made our way south. When we finally found a parking spot (it was a weekend and thereContinue reading “Sightseeing in Spokane and Watching Fires from Mount Spokane State Park, Washington”

Escaping the Heat: Part 2 at Wallowa Lake, Oregon
Since our first escape from 100+°F heat worked so well, we decided to do again, but this time, we were in Oregon. Even though Lake Wallowa was over 2 hours away from where we were staying in Pendleton, it was absolutely worth the trip. The drive there wound us through some beautiful parts of Oregon,Continue reading “Escaping the Heat: Part 2 at Wallowa Lake, Oregon”
Escaping the Heat: Part 1 at Blue Lake, Idaho
When you pull off the main highway and onto dirt roads and Google tells you that you have 30 minutes left and less than 10 miles to go, you know you are in for a real treat! Our week in Boise was hot, hot, hot! While the air conditioner in the camper does a decentContinue reading “Escaping the Heat: Part 1 at Blue Lake, Idaho”
We Braved the Tetons and Yellowstone, Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana
It has been a record-setting year for visitors to Yellowstone, and we were on the fence about braving the crowds up until the day before we decided to go. However, being a Wyoming native, I could not bear the thought of spending time around several entrances to the Park and not taking Bird. Because weContinue reading “We Braved the Tetons and Yellowstone, Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana”
Our First Negative Harvest Hosts Experience, Alpine, Wyoming
In our previous half dozen stays through Harvest Hosts, we have had nothing but rave reviews, so we should have known something was bound to happen. As we continued our journey across southern Wyoming from Colorado to Idaho, we wanted to make the trip quickly, with only 1-night stays before arriving in Rexburg for aContinue reading “Our First Negative Harvest Hosts Experience, Alpine, Wyoming”
Boondocking on BLM Land, Sinclair, Wyoming
We finally boondocked on BLM land! I am not sure what was holding us back, but our first experience at Dugway BLM outside of Sinclair, Wyoming was absolutely delightful. As in most things we are hesitant to do and only plan for a single night, we left wishing we could stay another day or 2.Continue reading “Boondocking on BLM Land, Sinclair, Wyoming”
Hiking Red Rock Canyon Open Space, Colorado Springs, Colorado
We could have hiked for miles every single day of our stay in Colorado Springs and never even scratched the surface of the trails available in the area. To say we were overwhelmed with possibilities is an understatement. As we scoured the AllTrails app, we were repeatedly drawn to the Red Rock Canyon Open SpaceContinue reading “Hiking Red Rock Canyon Open Space, Colorado Springs, Colorado”
Escaping the Crowds in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado
Rocky Mountain National Park is 1 of the National Parks that is requiring the advance purchase of tickets for timed entry during the peak hours of the day. Luckily, we had been following these developments, so we hopped online as soon as we were eligible to get our ticket for our visit. Unfortunately, there wereContinue reading “Escaping the Crowds in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado”
Our Weekend at Curt Gowdy State Park, Cheyenne, Wyoming
We may have had the best campsite in all of Curt Gowdy State Park. Out the front door, we had amazing lake views. From the dinette, we had views of grassy hills where we saw deer roaming every evening and heard coyotes howling at night. Sure, the wind kicked up at the top of theContinue reading “Our Weekend at Curt Gowdy State Park, Cheyenne, Wyoming”
Seeing Our Journey at the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center, Casper, Wyoming
For almost a year, we have been moving across the United States with our most worldly possessions towed behind us, partially in search of the next place we will call home. Needless to say, our visit to the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center hit a little close to home for both Will and me, andContinue reading “Seeing Our Journey at the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center, Casper, Wyoming”
