Not only did we get to cool off after a string of 90 and 100 plus days, we actually got to reacquaint ourselves with pants and sweatshirts again! Driving west for about 4 hours saw the temperature drop by a very welcome 30 degrees and replaced desert with forest. For the record, Rainbow Falls was…
After a somewhat reasonable three hour drive we pulled into our full hookups campsite at Wanapum State Park in a very dry section of Eastern Washington. We find that state parks typically provide the spacious campsites when compared to private campgrounds, but they’re usually sparse on utilities, so it was a nice treat to get…
On the way to Steinaker Park – Taking as many pictures as I do, I’ve come up with some strange categories. This picture ranks highly in the “Landscape Photo Taken While Pumping Gas’ category. After Bonneville Seabase it was time to head east to meet up with Lana’s cousins from glorious New Jersey. They had…
Not that we’re a big Valentine’s Day type of family, but in the before time I never would have imagined we would have spent V-day deep in a Georgian swamp, during a halfway decent rainstorm no less. Yet there we were. Our four day sprint out from California to Florida was a bit aggressive, so…
After a reasonable three hour drive from Dead Horse Ranch we pulled into Lost Dutchman State Park just after dark. Originally all we could reserve was a no hookups site but after calling the park we were able to change that to an electric/water site. The only catch was that we’d have to move sites…
With the kids on winter break and heavy restrictions in our area due to a major Covid case spike, it was time to hit the road again (in a responsible way that is). The major increases in Covid cases also meant that all state and national parks in California were closed to overnight camping. While…
After 2 nights and one full day at Uvas Canyon we left for El Capitan State Beach. With memories of our cross country trip still fresh in our minds, the roughly 4 hour drive down the 101 really didn’t feel like much. El Capitan State Beach is just north of Santa Barbara, with the campground…
Luck was with us last night as we drove into Jordanelle State Park just shy of midnight. The park was shut down for the night but they do allow late night campers like ourselves to drive in, pay, and find an open campsite. I’m not quite sure what would have happened if we didn’t find…
I have no doubt that soon we’ll be pining away for those hot muggy conditions we were just complaining about. -Me, in the last post More prophetic words have rarely been written. The interwebs informed us that it would be cold when we’d get to Copper Breaks, and that it would most likely rain…
Hard to believe that it’s already been two weeks since we hit the road. Even though each stop is memorable in it’s own way, things are starting to blend together. It feels like we’ve been traveling half as long as we have, but that it’s been ages since we stopped at the Grand Canyon. It’s…
