Yellowstone or BUST!
Next up was a visit to Jackson Hole Wyoming where we stayed at the Snake River KOA. It was a small campground but we were right on the river in a tent site – 103. Listening to the sound of water rushing by is always relaxing to us so we were pretty happy. It was …
Salt Lake City and big life changing decisions
What else should you do when in Salt Lake City Utah? Well, besides posing at East High so we could send this photo to Sam (he’s a High School Musical super fan)? No, we had to visit with Robert, Katie and Amelia who have been friends and business partners for the past 10 1/2 years. …

Review of Sunset SB – Pines & Dunes Loops Campsite – 059
We wanted to camp at the beach. We thought it would be fun. We thought we would take Sebastian in the water and frolick the day away. We were so wrong… It was June 2nd and apparently we didn’t remember how much colder it gets near the Pacific. Also, we didn’t realize that there was …

Review of Millerton Lake SRA – Meadows Loop (sites 91-148) – Campsite – 36FT Standard Campsite-115
What a beautiful drive around the lake to get to our campsite. The drive there wasn’t much to look at but as you come up the mountain and the lake comes I to view it really is quite pretty. Millerton Lake SRA is in Friant, CA. We booked our stay online through the California Parks …
Review of Colonel Allensworth SHP – John L. Whitehead Jr. Campground – Campsite – 10
Well, how could we not kick off our “homeless on purpose” adventures without our first stop being at a small historical preservation site with signs all around stating “Don’t pick up Hitchhikers – State Prison nearby!” Like honestly – we couldn’t have been more thrilled.
