after our weekend of exploring glacier by car and boat, i was very excited to do some hiking. but, a lot of the hikes were too long to do with the kids. and the ones that weren’t, we wanted to save for the weekend to do with derek. also, we had moved the camper 4 […]
jamboree
yellowstone.canyons and the rest.
let’s see. when i left off, we were still at yellowstone, having completed an epic day at grand prismatic and old faithful. the rest of our time there was a little more laid back and/or disappointing, so i’m cramming it all into this post. (and as for the long blog break, we were without good […]
rifle, colorado.
our final week in colorado was spent at rifle gap state park, just a bit north of rifle. aside from our trip to hanging rock and aspen on our first day, we didn’t do much, besides recover from several weeks of friends, family and constant adventure. first things first, we settled back into some routine. […]
colorado springs, the downtime.
our two weeks in colorado springs were some of our favorites. we went on a lot of adventures and i got to see a couple of old friends. we kept busy enough that my official “downtime” post is even more boring than usual. we settled in on saturday and kicked off our adventures on the […]
the last few weeks of miscellany.
after we left santa fe, we went to a campground (villanueva state park) that was in the middle of nowhere and had no internet/cell. we stayed a night before finding a spot that was mostly in the middle of nowhere (springer, nm) but DID have internet. the next week, we went to sugarite canyon, which […]
santa fe. with friends and family.

carlsbad-ish camping miscellany.
this is the post about our two weeks in carlsbad, when we weren’t exploring nearby national parks. but, before that, our trip from big bend to where we were staying near carlsbad was over 5 hours, so we broke it up with a layover at the fort stockton, texas walmart. decidedly less cool than big […]
medina lake, the second half.
our second half of our stay at medina lake has been pretty boring. we are tired of the long drive to go do things. so we have stuck around the camper mostly. not much to see here… some facetime with old friends. with a photobomber. we bought a new game. ticket to ride. the usa […]
great smoky mountains.
after our week in asheville, we moved on down the road to a little place just outside great smoky mountain national park. it was super cold and kind of not near much of anything else, so outside of our adventure to the park, we laid low mostly. firstly, we put up our christmas tree. i […]
five weeks in winston-salem.
this morning, we bid farewell to our “hometown” of winston-salem after a five week visit with derek’s parents. we stayed in their driveway, and overtook their house. we completed some camper fixes and upgrades. we purged some clothes and toys and added new clothes and toys. we ate a lot. celebrated a lot. and spent […]
