Highlights From Our Drive West
Considering how long it’s been since my last post, I thought a quick look at some of the highlights of the past several months would be the best option. After a full summer of family time back in New England, we’re back in the van full time and finally (almost) back in the warm southwest.…
Van Updates! Small Changes with a Big Impact
Hello everyone! It’s been a busy summer over here. We arrived back in New England in late April for a family wedding and have spent the months since then mostly between Maine and Massachusetts. Over the course of the summer we welcomed a new niece into the world, celebrated a nephew’s 2nd birthday, visited a…
Continental Divide Trail Prep and Training
One week. After over a year of not so patiently waiting, we’re one week away from flying out to start our CDT thru hike. Are we excited? Yes! Are we nervous? A bit. Are we mildly terrified? Depends on who you ask 😉 As a veteran thru hiker, Matt’s definitely handling the pre-trail nerves better…
General Update on Life in the Van
Hi everyone, I’d started writing a post about our recent visit to Bandelier National Monument but wasn’t feeling especially motivated, so I took that as a sign to leave that one be for now and give you all an update on how things are going in general instead. We’re still in New Mexico, we made…
Saguaro National Park
Hello hello, since our last post was focused on caves, we’re going to keep this one above ground and take it back to the week we spent in and around Tucson for a quick look at our visit to Saguaro National Park. The park is split into two sections, one on either side of Tucson.…
All About Caves!
Hi everyone, as promised in the last post, this one is all about how in a short month and a half we’ve found a new hobby, or if we’re being honest, a new obsession. This might be a lot to ask, but do you remember back in our Carlsbad Caverns National Park post I told…
Annie Hits The Big 3-0
Hello, Annie here. Yup, you read that title right. My 30th birthday was back in mid-March. Recently, most years I haven’t been interested in doing much if Emma and I aren’t celebrating together, which I realize is kind of ridiculous considering how much we disliked sharing a birthday when we were kids. This one though,…
White Sands National Park
I know, I know, it’s another national park post. We have done more than just visit national parks, but New Mexico has so many good ones! And like Carlsbad Caverns, White Sands has been on my list of places to visit for a while. So we’ll show you our visit to this park now and…
Carlsbad Caverns National Park
We recently started tracking national parks and national forests the two of us have visited together. It’s not necessarily a goal to check them all off, at least not in any particular time frame. Since we hit four national forests and a national park on the drive south though, we thought it might be fun…
A Good Ol’ Texas Winter
Alright everyone, change of plans since our last post. We were going to show you a few of our favorite hikes and campsites from our time in Arkansas, and I know we just told you we wouldn’t be updating our location in real time, but people have been checking in because of the record cold…
