(Everyone sing along) “Oh, give me a home … where the buffalo roam …” Our current rolling home was nestled RIGHT where the buffalo roam! We had a “Bully Good Time” (to quote the man himself) at Theodore Roosevelt National Park, the New York Times’...
2022 brought us a visit to Death Valley National Park, an area once described by The New York Times as “3 million acres of weird.” But first things first: meet our new family member and adventure buddy! Two days after getting Finn, a 10-week old English Cream Golden Retriever...
Capitol Reef is the least-visited of Utah’s National Parks, commonly referred to as “The Mighty Five,” Bryce, Zion, Arches, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef, and the last one we had yet to visit. It’s an odd name, Capitol Reef, an amalgamation of “Capitol”...

Ahhhhhhcadia National Park … a Lucky Charm bucket-list destination since Day One! Acadia was the first National Park created east of the Mississippi, and so so so very different from Western NP’s, with its rugged precipices along the Atlantic coastline, cobble beaches...
Michigan’s slogan is “Pure Michigan” …. purely beautiful, purely magical, and purely different from Arizona, that’s for sure! The FORMER slogan, however, was “Great Lakes, Great Times” and that even better describes our time in Michigan...
Ahhhh, South Dakota! You gave us a little of everything … the Bad, the Bold, and the Beautiful! Specifically, the Bad(lands) and Bad travel, the Bold adventures, and the Beautiful views and scenery! Leaving Utah and heading for South Dakota served up some of our most punishing...
