There is one thing that keeps us going each day on the road trip. One thing, two words. Shadow. Bear. We left our crazy (and kinda gross) little campsite in Visalia to head toward Death Valley National Park but stopped in Bakersfield to walk the streets along the way....

After wiping the sleep from our eyes we shoved on toward our next adventure. In our first road trip we visited Yosemite National Park and admired the giant sequoias. We loved those monsters and we were looking forward to seeing Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks...

We rested up overnight at the Eureka KOA and had a lovely time. After packing up our modest little campsite and hitting the showers, we headed out toward Lassen Volcanic National Park. We grabbed breakfast at The Big Blue Cafe in Arcata, CA where Mark had vegetarian...

We packed up our tent and gear, all drenched in saltwater and headed back down the Oregon coast. As if the crashing waves and seagulls weren’t enough, the streets helped you to find the ocean too. We stopped for breakfast at the Minute Cafe in Bandon, OR for a quick...

Oh Netarts Oregon, you stole a little piece of Mark’s heart last night. While out on a food run the night before, Mark had a pint with a couple locals and experienced life in its fullest. They talked about road tripping, young love, and heartbreak. Mostly road...

There’s not much good or bad to say about Mountain Home, Idaho. We had a peaceful nights rest there and woke up early to hit the Oregon trail. Well…we were hitting the trail and it happened to be taking us to Oregon, so close enough. It didn’t take long to reach...

We loved our cabin in Jackson Hole, but we were ready to get on the road. Our first order of business for the day (after coffee of course) was to head back into Grand Tetons National Park for a couple more hours of exploring. We hiked part of the Jenny Lake Loop Trail...

We woke up early in Greybull to head out for Grand Tetons National Park by way of Yellowstone National Park. Today was Mark’s birthday, so finding a grizzly bear in Yellowstone was number one on the to-do list. We decided to enter Yellowstone via a new route this...

Much like years passed, we spent the first part of the day playing in the Badlands and exploring new trails. This park is like one big playground so very little of it is off limits. We spent a good deal of time watching a couple of bighorn sheep wandering the cliffs,...

After packing up the car in West Des Moines, we headed to our next major stop in Badlands National Park. Before we made it to the Badlands, we had a few other fun stops to make along the road. Check out the T-Bird convention we spotted on the way out of our hotel!...
