It was midmorning by the time we left our campsite for the last two nights (thanks, Boggy Draw Trails!), heading to the Canyons of the Ancients Visitor Center & Museum. Canyons of the Ancients contains the highest known archaeological site density in the United States, although you’re more likely to see various objects, dwellings, and […]
When you’re on the road all the time, it is an incredible, monumental life experience, but it can also be really exhausting! In a way, ensuring there are enough times for rest and normalcy – whether that’s spending time doing errands like cleaning and doing laundry, watching a movie or reading a book, or simply […]
After 4 action-packed days at Arches National Park and around Moab, we treated ourselves to a relatively late start, leaving our campsite well after everyone else had driven off. Our plan was to further immerse ourselves in nature, heading to Dead Horse Point State Park. Dead Horse Point State Park The Park’s morbid name comes […]
We eased into our day, with Lisette getting up early to chat to her friend Kerstin in the UK as the sun was rising. We certainly miss seeing family and friends while we’ve been on the road, but fortunately we’ve had ample opportunities to have calls and send messages, as technology has made staying connected […]
Utah was one of the states that we’ve been looking forward to. Known for its unique rock formation and arches, sweeping landscapes, and varied outdoor activities, we were excited to explore and slow things down on the travel front. It can be tiring to always be on the go! Day 1: Delicate Arch, Scenic Overlooks […]
Michael felt sick in the morning, thanks probably to the major weather swings we’ve been getting as we’ve traveled – one day it can be warm and sunny, then the next day we drive up the mountains and it’s cold and snowing! Devil’s Canyon Trail System, Fruita After checking out of the RV park, we […]
The benefit of being in an RV is that we can sleep alongside the road, just outside the place that we want to explore, rather than having to commute from home. So we were excited to wake up, and drive straight into Colorado National Monument to beat the potential crowds, with the plan to eat […]
Michael woke up not feeling great. It’s probably a combination of us being on the road a lot, the dramatic changes in temperature we’ve had at various points (including going from hot desert to snow in a day), as well as eating some leftover chicken the night before that was past its prime. Our plan […]
What better way to spend a morning than at a theme park? And even better, the only mountain top theme park in the US? Our thoughts exactly, as we had breakfast then took the gondola up to Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park. There are quite a lot of gondolas, so we didn’t have to wait to […]
In the morning, we briefly checked out Idaho Springs, founded during the Gold Rush. It is apparently the most populous municipality in Clear Creek County, Colorado, but the population is still pretty small, at 1,782 people! The town still very much looks like an old mining town with buildings from that era, so we found […]
