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 did Christmas in TX this year with my parents & the day after Christmas I told hubby ” I know Christmas just ended, but I’m thinking next year we need to be near snow”. Your trip looks amazing & so fun. I’ll have to store this in my memory bank for next year. Thanks for sharing!ReplyCancel

    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. Hope to see you guys on the road again.ReplyCancel

First Lead Climb in Years – Rock Climbing in Maple Canyon, UT

I loved climbing, so when I landed a job in college at BYU Outdoors Unlimited I was pretty excited to have a steep discount on climbing gear. Not only that, I associated with others who shared the same love. By the…

Summary & Review of REI’s Powder Mountain Outessa Summit

We turned up the winding canyon road and our excitement mounted with every foot of elevation we climbed. We turned off the main rode and drove the last few hundred feet up a dirt road to the very top of Powder Mountain Ski Resort. We crested the final hill and were in awe of the view that…

  • Way to rally after a crummy night’s sleep – that takes some moxie! As does willingly going to a foam-rolling class. Love this review & the summit looks like fun! Thanks for posting!ReplyCancel

  • Thanks for posting the review! I love a photo heavy post! It looks like you had an awesome time even though the first night was a bit rough. How cold did it get that first night? What type sleeping bag did you use and do you think you’ll go again? I hope they do it next year. I’m game on flying across country for some fun like this!ReplyCancel

      You know, my phone said it was only 40 or so, and I have a 32 degree down bag but that wind chill was unreal. They are making modifications for next year and absolutely I’m planning on going!ReplyCancel

  • I have a lot of respect for anyone who can make wise decisions after sleep deprivation. Way to go!ReplyCancel

Join Me at REI’s Outessa Summit This Summer!

In the last two years of traveling we really haven’t made an effort to attend any conferences or workshops. Pre-travel I would attend at least one photography workshop a year, and Sam would often have 2-3 tech conferences he attended. All part of keeping up our skills, networking, and getting inspiration for new projects or…
