Before we actually made it to Mount Rainier, we were tipped off about a mountain biking trail that we needed to try. We were on the beach when an older gentleman and his wife stopped to talk to us. He saw the bikes on the RV and suggested this trail. He pulled out a map and … [Read more…]
I like Oregon. They pump your gas for you! The night before we were supposed to be in Crater Lake, I couldn’t sleep. I got up, and just started driving for the park (it is pretty nice when your car is connected to your house sometimes). At about 3:30 am, I pulled into a gas … [Read more…]
We get a lot of questions about how we store all of our gear and about our rack set up in general. We wanted to just show you guys the ins and outs of our system! We love to do anything outdoors. If there is any activity that gets us outside of the RV, we are … [Read more…]
On our way to Redwood National Park, we drove through Willow Creek aka the Bigfoot Capitol of the World! We had no idea where we were until we started seeing Bigfoot signs everywhere! It was hilarious. There have been a ton of sightings around the area – in fact if you watch the vlog at … [Read more…]
Hey guys! This post is a little different, but really cool and unique so I thought it would be fun to share. In Death Valley National Park we met up with our photographer friend Katch Silva to capture “A Day in the Life of Our Vie”. All photos are by Katch Silva, and let me … [Read more…]
Entering the south side of the park we found the tiniest, cutest sign and had to stop for a photo. A lot of people ask, “how do you get your cat to pose for these sign pictures?” Honestly, this cat is a diva and I think he just knows when we whip the camera out … [Read more…]
Yosemite National Park is a special place for me. It is where I asked the love of my life to be my wife. That’s kind of a big deal. As I thought of a place that was as that was as-big-of-a-deal enough to handle such a moment, Yosemite was the only real option. The fact … [Read more…]
Pinnacles National Park is the youngest park in the U.S. It was officially made a National Park in 2013. Before 2013, it was a National Monument dedicated to protecting the unique volcanic rock and the massive, and endangered, California condor. We were talking to a ranger and asked what changed when they received the National … [Read more…]
King’s Canyon and Sequoia National Parks are kind of managed as one. It makes sense though. They share park borders and are part of the same massive plume of granite that makes the beautiful walls. When we left Sequoia, the first sign we saw of King’s Canyon was the photo of us on the top. We … [Read more…]
In the beginning, I would have never guessed that I would say, “Sequoia National Park is my favorite.” But I did. I make fun of Madison all the time for saying every new park we visit is her new favorite. But this one, for me, has jumped to the top of the list. There … [Read more…]
