We Spend Christmas in Zion National Park

We made the decision last summer to do “one more” winter in the Airstream. Originally we had planned to take a break, rent a house, and teach the kids how to ski. After some long term planning, we decided that 2017/2018 was the ideal time for the that and everyone agreed we’d spend the winter…

    We are the noisy Asian family across from your campsite. It was great meeting your family, a good tour of the amazing airstream. Most of all the inspiration that anything is possible and anywhere can be home was most wonderful xmas gift I received from talking to you and your family.

  • Nice post! We just visited the place last week with the family and it’s such a wonderful experience! From Ventura Harbor my kids enjoyed the show “A Treasure in the Sea”. The island is beautiful and the scenery is breath-taking. We also did a little hiking and it feels like we are outside USA, a lot of cute little foxes and ravens. It’s a great experience!ReplyCancel

Happy 100th Birthday to the National Park Service!

There are parks all over the country celebrating with special events this weekend, including FREE admission to all National Park sites from August…

A Canoeing Service Project on the Buffalo National River, Arkansas

The morning we left Hot Springs National Park, we made a quick decision to take the long way to Bentonville and drive past the Buffalo National River. The drive through the backroads was beautiful, and we were rewarded with an empty campground at Tyler Bend. We were startled to discover that we had great Verizon, and…

    We love the Buffalo! We lived in Fort Smith and kayaked from Ponca to Kyles Landing multiple times a year. Limestone cliffs, waterfalls, beautiful hikes followed by dinner at the Ozark Cafe. We moved to CO last year, but the Buffalo will always be my first river love.ReplyCancel
