just after christmas, we decided that rather than hang out in winston-salem for the rest of dreary winter, we were going to head south to florida at the end of january. then, we made an even bigger decision to just get back on the road entirely, for at least another year and a half, while […]

ws/nc. november.
well. we are home. there’s as much exciting stuff to post about, so i’m back to that old thing where i can cram a month’s worth of stuff into one boring post. at least i had a birthday and there was a thanksgiving in november, so there’s some bonus material that might not take place […]
travel day detour to cape flattery.
when we left quileute (and it’s proximity to the closed down hoh rainforest) and traveled to a walmart in port angeles near our next campsite, our route took us around the northwest corner of the olympic peninsula. and since derek had to work anyways, we decided it was a good time to make a detour […]
a (mostly) rainy week in quileute.
so. it rains a lot in the pacific northwest. no surprise there. but it really really rains a lot on the coast near la push, washington. and we mostly chose this campground due to its proximity to the hoh rainforest, but on our hike to hole-in-the-wall, some friendly hikers informed us that a road had […]
non-redwood themed activities and adventures.
from lassen volcano, we traveled back across california, all the way to the coast, amidst the cluster of redwood national and state parks. after our considerably frustrating internet situation the previous week, when we found a campground with decent cell signal, we plopped down the cash for a solid two week stay. we did a […]
lassen volcanic national park.
sooooooooooo…. from lake tahoe, via reno, we moved onto lassen volcanic national park. i really had absolutely no idea what to expect from a volcano themed national park. our campsite was on manzanita lake, in the northwest corner of the park and basically had zero cell signal, which meant it was going to be a […]
sacramento-ish.
here we go. another mad dash round of bloggy catch up. when i left off, had stopped to visit the jelly belly factory on our way from point reyes national seashore to a little spot just north of sacramento, in nicolaus, california. the place was a thousand trails campground, which usually means there’s not much […]
some random stuff without a home.
during our last few stays, we have kept pretty busy with epic adventures, necessitating their own blog posts. but there’s been a bit of fun stuff happening in the downtime, so i’ll try to catch all of that up here. firstly. when we find ourselves at a boring spot after weeks at epic spots (and […]
point reyes national seashore adventures.
while we were in manteca, california, the high temps were creeping up to 105° and maybe higher. it was hott. then, we hopped in the camper and car and drove towards the coast. and when we settled into our cute little shady campsite among the redwoods, just two hours away, at samuel p. taylor state […]
