When we left the Applegate’s we didn’t make it that far. We ended up stopping and pulling into a Walmart to just crash and restock for the next couple days. The next morning we were up and heading towards Aspen, after breakfast in the nearby mountain town of Frisco. Our first stop was Leadville. Leadville … More No Harry,… I’m talkin’ about Aspen
We headed into Boulder and hit UpSlope Brewery. After having a drink, we ended up moving in to the downtown area of Boulder and the outside “mall area” between 10th and 14th streets. Once we arrived we found that it was not only game day for Colorado U (based in Boulder) but it was homecoming … More Boulder, Terrifying Drives, and The Applegate’s
As I mentioned, heading into Colorado, meant colder weather. We knew that there were roads in the Rocky Mountain NP that were already closed, and towing a 54 year old camper didn’t bode well for testing our limits. We also didn’t realize that all the State Park, and National Forest campgrounds are closed for the … More Colorado Throws A Mean Curveball
So I believe I left you with Tara and I sleeping in some random dirt clearing about an hour from the Arches National Park entrance. When we woke up, we had a quick breakfast, which 90% of the time means we had oatmeal. Anyways, we got our stuff together and headed to the campground we … More More Utah – Arches NP & Dead Horse
After spending a few days in Zion, we were heading out to our next stop, Bryce Canyon National Park. Bryce isn’t that far from Zion, so we drove straight through and per usual, headed straight for a campsite. Bryce is definitely not as popular of a NP as some of the others that we’ve been … More Utah – Bryce Canyon and Capital Reef
In the months Derek and I spent talking about this road trip, and all the places we wanted to see, Utah, and Zion specifically, were at the top of my list. It wasn’t that I even knew all that much about it, and maybe it was just from having worked at TripAdvisor and seeing so many … More Zion and the beginning of a lot of rocks, Utah…
The Grand Canyon. As I mentioned in my last post, my dad has talked about wanting to go to the Grand Canyon forever. So here we are… We drove into the park and headed to our campground. Thankfully, Tara had the presence of mind to call ahead and actually reserve a site for us. No … More The Grand Canyon
It’s taken me a long time to get to this post, but I think it’s well deserved. Unfortunately, we only had our camper for a week before we headed out for the trip. That didn’t give us a lot of time to do anything major as far as fixing it up (thankfully it didn’t really … More The Shasta
After spending the night at an RV Park in Pheonix, which was brutally hot, I have no idea how people live like that… … More Sedona and the Red Rocks, AZ
These places aren’t actually from any of the Mad Max movies, however, if you were see these places, you’d swear you were in the middle of a movie. So, I don’t know a whole lot about these places, but I’ll give you the run down of each, as I knew it driving in. Salvation Mountain: … More The Last Free Place on Earth
