WARNING. this post contains one zillion pictures of redwood trees, the ocean, and lidkids. as we normally do at any national park, we first stopped at the visitor center to get junior ranger books, advice and the lay of the land. redwood national and state parks is different from most national parks because, as the […]

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.

Posted on July 31, 2018October 15, 2018by sarah

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 […]

kid free rubicon trail hike. (plus: vikingsholm).

Posted on July 25, 2018July 25, 2018by sarah

jelly belly factory.
a travel day detour.

Posted on July 3, 2018by sarah

so. we usually try to travel on weekends because it’s much too stressful to pack up and leave on a workday for derek. plus, checkout is usually sometime in the late morning, which isn’t ideal when you have a job. but, sometimes, the availability of cool parks in peak seasons necessitates a weekday departure. such […]
