Arizona – Havasupai and Grand Canyon
One hike, two days, 30 miles in the desert. Four people, and five foot blisters. What could be better? This was the most rewarding as well as physically- and mentally-challenging hike of my life. Jared and I can both agree that it was the coolest thing we’ve ever done in our lives. What are we…

The Great Juxtaposition – Yosemite and (viva) Las Vegas
California was not too nice to us (me) at the beginning. After leaving Crater Lake, we drove the to Lake Tahoe, unsuccessfully making two souvenir stops and losing 45 minutes. I guess I was trying to make up the time because I found myself going 81 in a 65 mph zone, and so did the…

Sad to be gone from Oregon(e)
Oregon is so much more than rain and evergreen trees. Oregon is a magical land of gorges, waterfalls, delicious eateries and BEER, so much beer. It’s so awesome that the state even has its own 7 wonders (we made it to two – Columbia River Gorge and Crater Lake). Our first day was spent in…

The Grand Teton(s)
Been there, done that. We only stayed a day and a half, but it was absolutely gorgeous. We were somehow able to get into the national park without having to pay, making that the second “free” national park so far… Where are you park rangers? The first day was pretty relaxing. We stayed at Colter…

YELLOWSTONE 101
MY oh my. Finally after three days, we have WiFi at a campground – still no cell service. Don’t worry all, we’re still alive and ready to blog. Yellowstone was amazing. Jared had never been, and I hadn’t been since high school and I’m so glad we stopped here. Day 1 (prequel): Arrived super late…

South Dakota down, Onto Wyoming
Woo we’re in Wyoming! So much driving, but definitely worth it. Yesterday was really busy. On our way to the Badlands, we stopped at this place called the Corn Palace which was the weirdest place we’ve ever seen lol. It was built in the 1890s (I think) to celebrate the year’s annual harvest. There were…

Day 1 success
Tip: if you scroll to the bottom of my facebook post, use the actual website link for better formatting! Recap of today: twelve hours later, we finally made it to middle of nowhere, Missouri. We pulled into the campground at 9:30 and it was bumping! People in the pool, youngsters playing horse shoe, etc. The…

Today’s the day!
The car is packed, the coffee brewed and the road is ahead — ten hours of it. Only 623 miles to go on day one.. First stop- Saint Louis, Missouri. We might roll in kind of late, so the plan is to look at the Arch and get a good night’s sleep to rest up…
