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…

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…
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,…
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…
Rocky Mountain NP
“I’m in love, I’m in love and I don’t care who knows it!” (Elf) That’s how I feel about Rocky Mountain National park. I’ve always had a sweet spot for a snow capped mountain or two but to be surrounded by them? Perfection! It took me a couple days but the trick to this place…
Celebrating our First Month
To commemorate our first month on the road, I have created a little video that highlights each stop… enjoy… I hope!
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…
