Wanting a taste of Nevada history, we headed to Virginia City and an overnight stay at the Virginia City RV Park, stopping along the way at Geiger Lookout. Virginia City has some deep and interesting history following the 1859 Comstock Lode but the town struck us as...
Our choice of the KOA in Reno, Nevada was at least in part driven by nostalgia. We've stayed here twice before, on our Honeymoon and again ten years ago on our 35 Anniversary trip. Both previous times we stayed here in a tent, something that's since been outlawed by...
After breaking camp in Lassen, we circled back around C Loop and stopped for one more visit with Jack & Dottie before heading to Susanville. Shall we say that getting our mail this time didn't go so smoothly as we'd like? First there were the five phone calls...
See Park Video This morning Lou wanted to just enjoy a leisurely breakfast and visit with us snug in our T@B rather than hurry to pack up and head out to hike the Kings Creek Falls Trail before her drive home this afternoon. We’ve all enjoyed this rendezvous and...
See Ranger Hike Talk Video See Ranger Talk Video In no particular hurry this morning we enjoyed coffee, conversation, breakfast, and listening to the park road audio tour while we ran the generator. Then we ventured out. We began our adventures at Chaos Crags. At each...
There's no Verizon signal in Manzanita Lake Campground so first order of business this morning, right after our caffeinated beverages and breakfast was a drive out of the park and into Old Station, California, a dozen miles to the east. There we gassed up the truck...
Over the course of the last few months we've had a few conversations with Karen's sister, Lou, about rendezvousing with her but had not been able to pin down a definite time and place until we talked this past weekend and agreed to meet at Manzanita Lake Campground in...
When we're on the move it's hard to stop for every great photo op so we resort to shooting out the windows of the truck. Sometimes they turn out well, especially with a bit of cropping, but most are not worth keeping. Today's one of those days, we're making the drive...
Ever since we watched the Oregon episode of Aerial America, we've wanted to look down on the town of Bend from the top of Pilot Butte, the cinder cone in the middle of town. Today we did. We'd intended to hike up but didn't find the trailhead. Next thing we knew we'd...
Our adventures have taken us to Bend, Oregon so we decided to make a pilgrimage to Zamp Solar. We made our way to the address we found online and as luck would have it, we met Conor Miller, the Chief Operations Officer in the parking lot. We chatted for a while...
Planning a trip? Dreaming of travel? Perhaps some of our adventures could inspire yours! Over the last several years we’ve had the distinct pleasure of many cross country journeys traveling though the Lower 48 in tents and our various teardrop campers as well as an amazing Alaska adventure that did not involve a camper.

Tonight is the last of four one night stops this week. We stayed here at Big Snow Ski Resort near Wakefield MI last year on a Friday night. That time we were among several Harvest Hosts guests. Tonight we are the lone camper and have a prime spot in the shade with...
With all the festivities of Dance/Graduation Weekend and üCamp22 behind us, we joined Dave, Amy, and family Sunday for a quiet Father's Day celebration beginning with a sumptuous charcuterie brunch, afternoon naps for all the adults, and a delicious grill night topped...
