Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For (or, the things you find in the desert, part 2)

Joshua Tree is unlike any other US national park I’ve ever been to. We could only afford a few hours there, which, by and large is enough for a drive through, but I can’t wait to go back and do some real climbing when the kids are a little bigger. But for now, the rocksContinue reading “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For (or, the things you find in the desert, part 2)”

Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For (or, the things you find in the desert, part 1)

(Happy New Year! Now that the holiday madness is over, I hope I can return to some more regular posts!) Until recently, all I knew about Joshua Tree was that it was a U2 album.

IContinue reading “Bryce is Nice”

Hell’s Revenge (Otherwise Known as “One day My Wife Will Get Hers”)

With its sheer rock faces and incredible red color, it truly is a sight to behold. If you haven’t been to Moab and the parks, do yourself a favorContinue reading “Hell’s Revenge (Otherwise Known as “One day My Wife Will Get Hers”)”

Maiden Voyage Part 2

After all that, we didn’t even talk about our first destination…  On our maiden voyage, we spent a night in Portland, OR, then moved on to Astoria. We stayed at the KOA there, which was actually pretty awesome! They had the typical pancake breakfast, kids bike-friendly property, the usual KOA works. They even had mini golf andContinue reading “Maiden Voyage Part 2”
