Whitewater Rafting in Jackson WY with Lewis & Clark River Expeditions

While attending college at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, I worked as a rafting guide for Outdoors Unlimited on the daily section of the Green River. I spent many a weekend in the summer sleeping out under the stars by night and navigating or swimming the rapids by day. I learned to soak up the sights, smells,…

Gear Review: 6 Reasons WOOM Is the Best Kid’s Bike Out There

We knew Cara was in the market for a new bike, but we kept putting it off. With how much we ride bikes (including the crazy mountain biking she’s done on her strider- see our YouTube video here), we also knew that a cheap bike from Wal-Mart was just not going to cut it. Since…

    I bet the resell value would be good on these too after your little one is done with it. Walmart bikes are dangerous and worth almost nothing after the first month of riding them.ReplyCancel

  • Lucky Cara! The bike looks great!ReplyCancel

  • Excellent review. I never knew that about the coaster break. My 2 year old loves her scoot bike. I can’t wait till she starts a pedal bike. This one looks awesome.ReplyCancel

    How old/ how tall is she? (Such a nice blue color for a little girl!)ReplyCancel

    Thanks! Helps me decide to get the woom2.

    Seeing your daughters picture made my little girl think a blue bike is cool. Which is great because we just had a little boy.ReplyCancel

Rock Climbing in Prescott, AZ With Friends

It’s no joke we fell in love with Prescott, AZ (really, we did a pretty awesome April’s Fool Joke) and one of the reasons was the plentiful outdoor recreation opportunities. We were only going to drop into Prescott Valley, spend a night with college friends and then leave, until another full time Airstreamer (whom we met…

    We absolutely loved that place. Went on a whim to meet up with some new friends, ended up staying nearly a month. Great pictures!ReplyCancel

  • We’re glad you guys had a fun time! And we enjoyed it as much as you did. I always enjoy sharing cool places with great people. And glad to say, we had a cool place with super cool people!

    We’re off to Casa Grande of all places. Yup, I know everyone is driving north out of the heat, and here we are heading into it next week, and will likely be in southern AZ for several weeks! Here I thought we’d be headed north!

    Next time we meet up we’ll have to plan a few climbing and biking days! Travel safe!ReplyCancel

Gear Review: Which Bikes Are We Using on Our Adventures?

During our first 6 months of travel we had grand plans for road riding. We both had really great (and expensive) road bikes as we had been riding centuries (Sam more than me) and were accustomed to training for and riding longer distances.  We dreamed that even on long driving days, one of us could get…

  • The Scenic Route

    Great post on your bikes. We’re not so serious about our biking but made an investment in decent bikes. We found out the hard way recently that we were not insured in all situations. Turns out our bikes were only covered by the insurance provider when they were inside our trailer (!?!) or outside in a reserved campground only. Forget boondocking, mounted on the back of the truck or parked anywhere else for that matter. We found out the hard way. I’m sure you guys have researched it well. Others be warned to really examine the small print of your policy to be sure.ReplyCancel

  • Amberly Houser

    What do you recommend as the best way to keep them locked and safe at campgrounds. We recently purchased a bike for me and my husband (I haven’t had one since high school!) and a ride a long for my 4 year old (my other 2 ride without training wheels and can pretty much keep up) – we also recently bought a camper to spend our summers at the campground but I have been wondering the best way to keep them locked up when we are hiking or not right there? What suggestions do you have?ReplyCancel

    • Jess

      We keep our bikes either locked on our truck or locked to a tree or post at the campground. We have a long cable lock that we thread through both the frames and the tires and keep them secure. We also try not to stay in dodgy places. 🙂 In 21/2 years we haven’t had a bike stolen yet (knock on wood!).ReplyCancel
