Last evening we enjoyed pizza and live music at Portneuf Valley Brewing in Pocatello, Idaho within easy walking distance then settled in for a pleasant overnight. This morning as we were starting our day in the parking lot of The Museum of Clean we noticed a lone Jeep...

Lowman to Winchester
Landscape of History: The Nez Perce Video In theory the trip from Lowman to Winchester, Idaho takes an hour and a quarter. For us it took more like six hours of driving plus stops. The scenery was fabulous! Riggins, Idaho was a great place to pause for lunch at the...
Not on Wednesday
See Park Video Ten years ago when we last visited the Hagerman Fossil Beds National Monument, the Visitors Center was housed in a temporary building that it shared with another monument. Today we thought we had the opportunity to visit their new location in downtown...
Dry Camping at Beauty Creek
This national forest campground in a valley in the Idaho Panhandle National Forest is a peaceful place. The slopes on either side are so sleep that they are near vertical. Only nineteen campsites and most of them occupied by tent campers. While we've had our solar...
Meeting Our Hero
Late in the first week of April 1988 we stopped by a bookstore in a tiny town in South Carolina and purchased a copy of Clutter's Last Stand by Don Aslett. By reading that book, we totally changed our relationship with our things and began the process of becoming...
An Evening by the River
At day’s end we’re at Mountain View Campground Site #5 on bank of the Salmon River just east of Lowman, Idaho. It’s a serene end to a day that had its frustrating moments. After lunch we continued our drive north through the Sun Valley area and on through absolutely...
Idaho Waterfalls
There are places in Idaho where it seems water just gushes out of every crevice. This morning we drove the Thousand Springs Scenic Byway stopping to capture the glory while dealing with private lands and light coming from the wrong direction. We have a choice whether...
Huston Vineyards
On Chicken Dinner Road in Caldwell, Idaho, we found a treasure in the form of Huston Vineyards. As members of Harvest Hosts we were welcomed and made to feel at home. In the Tasting Room we sampled five amazing Idaho wines and decided to purchase some Chicken Dinner...
Home of the Road Kill Patty Melt
Our choice of Snow Bunny Drive-In Hamburgers for lunch was based solely on its oh so convenient location on the right side of the highway in Hailey, Idaho. We didn’t even bother to check reviews. But now it’s definitely on our personal map! It well deserves to be...
Salmon Falls Creek
Oh! What a wonderfully relaxing experience! We’ve just enjoyed an hour and a half soak in some incredible mineral hot springs. It’s been about six weeks since we’ve had the opportunity to use our own hot tub so we felt really ready for the experience. We visited...
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.

OUR VERY
LATEST
Cozumel & Grand Cayman
Aboard the Norwegian Jewel we’ve made stops in Cozumel, Mexico and Georgetown, Grand Cayman to explore beyond our previous experiences here. Soon we’ll be making our way to ports we’ve not yet explored in the Southern Caribbean.
A Taste of Old Florida
What a treat to pause for a BBQ lunch with the locals at Pearl Country Store and Barbecue on US-441 in Micanopy, Florida. It’s a taste of the Florida we remeber from our youth.
Winter Magic in Medina
By deliberate choice we were in Medina for all the winter holiday festivities from Candlelight Walk in the days before Thanksgiving through A Christmas Carol and A Celtic Christmas as well as an Alex Bevan Concert and a historic house tour all the way through Medina’s 31st Ice Festival but perhaps the highlight was the town hosting hundreds of folks whose homes and lives were devasted by Hurricane Helene at the A Promise of Christmas Event the middle of January. It’s an honor to be a part of this amazing community!
