Follow Along With the Adventures
After our short excursion to Ice House a couple of weeks ago, it’s time to hit the road for our big Summer trip, an extended adventure through 8 Western states. Like our other longer trips, this one is going to be a combination of work and vacation days. At least this time the boys don’t…
This may be the first time an interstate rest stop gets it’s very own blog post. Last time we drove west on the I-80 through the Bonneville Salt Flats (on our first cross country trip) we passed what looked like a really cool rest area right on the flats. There were a large number of…
I can’t recall when I first heard about Bonneville Seabase, but whenever it was, I was intrigued. Bonneville Seabase is a collection of warm springs bubbling out of the desert hardpan roughly 40 miles west of Salt Lake City. What’s unique about these springs is that by the time the water hits the surface it’s…
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…
Pros about Dinosaur National Monument: It was a quick 20 minute drive from our Campsite and Steinaker State Park. Interesting dinosaur exhibits. Cons about Dinosaur National Monument: Despite its name there were no actual dinosaurs. Lots of bones and some replicas, but no actual dinosaurs running around – BOO! Our visit to the monument was…
That’s right, Jackson isn’t just a hideout for Billionaires, it’s also the perfect home base for exploring Grand Tetons National Park. Considering how late in the season we were making our reservations, we were very lucky to get anything. We ended up at The Virginian Resort, which is part hotel and part RV Park on…
Grab some snacks, this is going to be a long post! After leaving Jackson, we all caravaned (two RVs and a mini van) straight to Yellowstone via Grand Tetons National Park. Our campsite for the next 4 days was just north of the small town of Gardiner in southern Montana. We had to drive the…
Leaving Gardiner, it was once again just the four of us. About an hour into our drive we decided to stop for one of our rare restaurant lunches, this time in the town of Livingston. The internet had informed us of a highly rated BBQ place, and those can be hard for us to pass…
While we may not have absolutely needed to stop in Coeur D’alene on our way to Eastern Washington, we did still need the Idaho sticker for the back of our RV. That’s just how we roll. Although it was pretty late when we pulled into our spot at Camp Coeur D’alene, and we were both…
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…
