craters of the moon national monument.
once again, i find myself a wee bit behind in the bloggy part of my life. about a week ago, we left our parking lot accomodations, neighboring the airport in boise idaho, to head for craters of the moon national monument. upon arrival, our first order of business was to get some info and pick […]
glacier national park.random week 2 miscellany.
other than the two hikes in my previous two blog posts, our second week in glacier was pretty low key. i even debated whether or not to post about it. but there were a few tales to be told and good pictures to go along with them… i spent a lot of time hanging out […]
grand tetons.our (epic) campsite.
for our trip to grand teton national park, derek had found us a sweet boondocking spot, just outside of the park, in bridger-teton national forest. it’s public land, so it’s free, but without any hookups. it would be our longest such adventure. we rolled in friday evening, where a cluster of campers were situated on […]
train rides and tent camping.
after derek and i took our excursion to twin lakes, i couldn’t shake the idea that we would camp there. we decided that we would leave friday and head down, spend one night and then get back on track to rifle on saturday. once that was decided, the grandlidboms decided to stay a little bit […]

lidbom family camping adventures. round 2.
last fall, we attempted a family camping trip. (in a sweet circus tent). it was a little tough with a tiny, semi-mobile, terrible sleeping hazel, but we still had a lot of fun, so we decided it was time to give it another go. this time, derek bought a super easy tent to set up […]
