Travel Dates: January 9 – 21, 2015 As we drove through town on the way to Markham Park, Sam saw signs for a local car wash. With a gleam in his eye, he turned off the road and we went looking for them. The Airstream needed a bath. These fine young people were raising money…
Travel Dates: Dec. 3-13, 2015 We visited the Emerald Coast on our way east to west 2 years ago (blog post about that here) at the beginning of our crazy journey. We drove through this area way too fast and swore we’d come back and stay longer. This time we wanted to try a different…

Hey Susan! Thanks for your kind words. We usually assemble the meals ourselves with ingredients either from the grocery store, or we buy freeze-dried ingredients online.

What a great park! Thanks so much for the story, photos and freezer-bag meal ideas!ReplyCancel
this story made me smile! we just got back from three nights at campsite 10 of George h Crosby monitou park. we had trouble finding our spot as well! we never saw a bear box/pole. the ranger even said it would be there! regardless, it was beautiful and rugged, quite the adventure.

Travel Dates: August 27 – Sept 11, 2015 The “North Shore” is the section of Minnesota from Duluth to Grand Portage along the Lake Superior coastline. I had heard amazing things about this section of Minnesota and had been ready to visit it since we first set foot in the state. After some plan changes and a…
Love the video. I am wondering what editing software you are currently using?
Thanks! I’m using an app called KineMaster on my phone. I’ve discovered that it is much faster and easier to make videos if I can do it without the computer.
