Hello! It’s your pal Kate, a few days late with the Sunday update. Believe it or not I began this post on Monday in Kansas City, KS…but then Starbucks closed and we were busy busy busy (or out of service service service) for 3 whole days!! Now we’re back, online and very much alive. We ended the last post in a cushy(ish) motel with Brian in dire straits due to a kidney stone plaguing his loins. Luckily he was out…
Oh hello again all of our adoring fans, of which there are about 9 (and we’re glad to have each and every one!) It’s Brian again for this week’s update. I’ll be covering South Dakota through to the tail-end of our time in North Dakota, our trip up to Canada, and the trip back down into North Dakota. With a little surprise visit to Minnesota as well! Let’s dive in shall we? As Kate mentioned at the end of her…
Good morrow, friends and fam! Another week down, another post up. When you caught up with us last, we were just leaving Little America in Wyoming and had our sights set on Fort Collins, Colorado. The drive was pleasant enough, though pretty long and unremarkable…except for the very end. We left Little America at about 2pm and had about 5 hours of driving to do. We made stops for gas as needed, keeping in mind the fluctuating price of gas…
Hello everyone! You’ve got Brian again for this update. As an overview I’ll be covering our visits to Grand Teton and our stop in Salt Lake City, up to today – where we woke up in the Little America parking lot. Grand Teton may be smaller than Yellowstone but it is just as lovely and packed with wildlife. We woke up at the Granite Creek campsite and packed up the car before heading into the park. Our first destination was…
Hey there! Kate again, late (as usual) for the next update. Hold onto your butts! This one gets a little dramatic… When Brian left you at the end of the last post, we’d been in Glacier National Park for a day already. “Spectacular” just doesn’t do it justice. We hiked up to Avalanche Lake and were immediately awestruck by the place. It was super duper crowded, but only if you looked toward the shore! We were accosted for snacks by…
Hello all, Brian here for this week’s update. As Kate mentioned in the previous post (Here) I’ll be covering from 7/15 to 7/21 and then after that we’ll try to get back into slightly more frequent and shorter updates rather than these mega-posts that take longer to digest. A brief overview: We were spoiled this week and got to stay with friends and sleep in beds! In houses! The morning after sleeping at a rest area along the sunrise highway…
Howdy y’all! It’s been forever since we’ve updated so it’s time to play catch-up. This post will deal with everything we’ve done from 7/09 (the day after the last post) up to 7/14 – the 2nd Sunday of the trip. Next post we’ll fill you in up to 7/21, the 3rd Sunday, and after that we’ll try to stay more on track…ish 😉 We camped at a “free campsite” that night, which was actually just a dirt road on BLM…
Well, as most of you are aware, the blog had died. For those of you who are curious for a bit more information what had actually happened is that my home server (where this blog is hosted) had one of its hard drives fail. This didn’t crash the server initially but when I had performed an upgrade and went to restart the server it didn’t come back up. Seeing as we were on the road and not at the house…
Hello lovemuffins, Kate here. It’s been exactly a week since we hit the road so I thought it was time for another quick update! We had our first major(ish) change of plans/route this week due to our poor planning around 4th of July weekend…oops. We decided that, instead of killing time all weekend to get into Yosemite on (hopefully less busy) Sunday, we’d head away for now and make a visit back to Yosemite when we’re done with this trip….
We lucked out and found a spot in Yosemite to camp the night of the 3rd! But when we opted to move camping spots for the second night, we realized the full extent of what Independence Day in Yosemite National Park meant… There were just SO👏many👏people👏. There was nowhere to park, let alone camp, so we spent the last night in an adorable little campground just outside the park entrance called Summerdale. There was a stream running behind the campground…
