First off, mosquitos are the worst! For those of you that just read that sentence and thought, “Oh they don’t like me,” with a grin that screams “neener, neener,” please, I will give you $5 million dollars for your superpower! I have five bites just on my face! What a day [Yesterday]! We left Yosemite around…

Yosemite is Amazing
Yosemite is amazing! If you haven’t been, pull out your calendar and schedule a time. We have all seen the same pictures, in fact you can see my pictures here, but you have to see this stuff in real life, it is majestic. I know that word sounds cheesy but there really isn’t a better…
Time With Friends
This week was my first friend stay, a short break from the road. I arrived in Pleasanton, California to the open arms of some of my very favorite people. A taste of the all american family in suburban California. A week full of baseball games, softball practices, birthday parties, school, naps, and movies, a stark contrast to the…

California!
What I did not wake up to this morning was the sound of a dinging car door, instead I woke up to the bustling sounds of the neighboring campsite packing up. I suppose waking up is the wrong word to use since it technically was the third time of “waking up” for the day. I…
We Slept In!
I thought this was deserving of it’s own post because those of you that know me, know how much I value my sleep. After a few bad nights, I think our system is finally dialed in…proof: we slept till 9:30!!! Get Rid of the Unnecessary: By this I mean threw away some over-the-top methods of…
From the Mountains to the Coast
I’m not going to lie, waking up in a bed this morning was nice although there was a small part of me that missed the coziness of our car (ok very small part). Franklin was so excited for the day to start that he woke me up at 6:00am. We went on a little jog…
Where Are We?
I woke up this morning, popped up the hatchback and for a moment forgot where we were. It opened to reveal the Alvord desert where we camped but to me it looked like the aftermath of a post-apocalyptic Oregon and I was waiting for a zombie to come slow-walking towards me. The vastness and emptiness…
The Groove
The Alvord Desert? This place is in Oregon? I ran so hard here that I threw up twice. Excitement got the best of me or it could have been the delicious treat I found yesterday. Mom says I need to stop eating delicious treats I find on the ground because they are probably dead animals…
And So It Begins
Franklin insisted I write our first post on the road, primarily because after a long hike around and up and over Smith Rock this morning, he is sound asleep in the car. It’s been an interesting start to our adventure, not short of technology malfunctions (phone battery charger broke off in the phone) and camping…
