So today marks the one year anniversary of the day we left on our life-changing adventure. I had set out from the beginning to create one last video that shows are favorite places and some other highlights but after the devastating and shocking loss of my copilot, Franklin, in November, I just couldn’t bring myself…

Our Final Month
Well, this is it… our final month on a Golden Road. This video is a little longer than normal but we saw so many amazing things, it was impossible to make it shorter. Thank you for coming along, it’s been quite the adventure. Enjoy!
Midwest
After spending five great days in the hustle and bustle of Chicago and eating my way through as many deep dish spots as possible, it was time to continue west. I traded the sound of honking horns and the typical cacophony of city streets for wide open and endless fields of corn, cows and wind…
A Bit Smitten
We rounded out our tour of Massachusetts with our last night in Cape Cod at Shawme Crowell Campground. Of course you can’t stay in a small adorable town like Sandwich and not stop at local ice creamery. Before heading back to our campsite, we sat on the front lawn and I enjoyed my peanut butter…
The Magic of Shenandoah
I spent a memorable 3 days at Shenandoah National Park and I’m so happy I did. Originally it wasn’t even on my radar or on my impromptu itinerary, until I started heading north and did a little research. My expectations were set pretty low, solely due to my lack of area knowledge. My camp spot was on the…
East Coast
After spending the week on the Outer Banks of North Carolina and not seeing any horses (Insert Sad Face), it was time to leave the coast and head inland with a final destination of Shenandoah National Park. I had a few days to kill before that so I picked a spot on the map and…
On The Road Again
Our first week back on the road is in full swing and we are stoked! Our new tent (Mountain Hardware Optic 2.5) is amazing and has withstood the rain every night this week… thank goodness! There is something about the rain on a tent that is so peaceful which could be why I’ve had some…
Month 4
Most of you know that we decided to take a break due to the weather being SOOO hot and ended up staying in Austin,TX with our wonderful friends, the Simon’s, all month. That being said, our video for July is a little different than months past, a little less scenery and a little more shenanigans. We…
Decision Made
It’s been hot and I know my mom has said that about 1,000 times over the last month but now it’s my turn. I grew up in Portland, Oregon where it is cool almost every day. The first night I jumped out of the car after panting through my first really humid night only to throw up three times,…
Camping in the Heat
The last couple weeks I’ve traveled from Texas to Florida. It probably wasn’t my smartest plan to travel to the south in the summer but it was definitely a learning experience. Florida is a beautiful state, so green and lush, with so much more wildlife than I ever expected. During my time here, I have seen monkeys, alligators,…
From Texas to Louisiana
I spent the last almost 3 weeks in Austin staying with my gracious friends in their beautiful air-conditioned home and it was glorious. Austin is a fun and adventurous city. There is always something to do; from the swimming holes (when they are open and not flooding) to the concerts, festivals, hikes and urban trails. It…
Sunset
Welcome to New Mexico! Someone gave the job of cloud creation during sunsets to Steven Spielberg and only allowed him to use cotton candy as his medium. The sunset I witnessed today was a three phase masterpiece. The first phase is the initial sun going down, the beginning of the transformation. You begin to see…
