We have had so much fun the last few days that we haven’t had time until now to get caught up on the blog! It has been four days of spending time with some of the nicest people around, so we have a lot of shout outs in this one. Let us catch you up! …
The last few days for us have been pretty quiet. We are continuing to make our way north and have done a little bit of sightseeing, but haven’t been to any major destinations or done much hiking. When we left Crater Lake RV Park, we made our way to Erickson Aircraft Collection in Madras, OR, …
First things first, when we left the redwoods on Sunday, we headed north into Oregon to a Harvest Hosts location, Aranaway Farm. It was amazing. It was mostly a horse farm, but there were also a couple of cows and some sheep and a goat. Many of the animals had free reign of the farm, …
Yesterday, we spent the day exploring the southern portion of Redwood National and State Parks. This park unit is co-managed by the National Park Service and California State Parks, and most of our visit was concentrated in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park. We started off with a drive and short hike to Fern Canyon. We …
A drive further up California Highway 1 brought us to MacKerricher State Park. This is another coastal park and is located just a few miles north of Fort Bragg. The drive between Salt Point and here was gorgeous, but all the driving we have done on the 1 has been super curvy with lots of …

Those spots …
Wow! Yosemite is breath taking! Bear with us in this post as we run through the thesaurus of all words synonymous with amazing. No matter what words we use, though, it will never be enough to describe the reality of Yosemite. If you ever have the chance to go, jump on it! We spent a …
We are in Yosemite National Park! This is Jeff’s first visit, and while Heather was here as a teenager, she has always wanted to come back to experience it as an adult who can appreciate it a little more. It has been a much anticipated stop on this adventure and we were concerned for a …
Last Friday, we moved on from the California coast to Tule Campground on Success Lake near Porterville, CA. This location was not selected because it is a particularly beautiful area or because there is a ton to do or see here. To be quite honest, we had an extra week between the coast and Yosemite, …
We knew when we left Lone Pine that we wanted to head for the coast. Staying on the coast was proving to be difficult because a lot of the campgrounds are closed due to damage from recent storms and the ones that are open were already booked. Somehow, though, we managed to get a spot …
