Planning a multi-park road trip across the country from Georgia to Utah with just 11 days off work might sound impossible—but we pulled it off, and it was one of the most unforgettable adventures we’ve ever had. We made the decision to visit Utah’s Mighty Five somewhat last minute and knew we’d need to be…

We recently spent what might be our last trip in the truck camper before moving on to another rig. The weather was perfect, the trails were tough and our campsite was private, despite backing up to a trail (and a bear!). Fort Mountain State Park in northwest Georgia boasts epic views, waterfalls, and more than…

For most of 2023, we have been watching Taylor the Nahamsha Hiker’s YouTube videos where she vlogs her hikes, and more specifically her Appalachian Trail hikes. We invested in gear and decided to start dabbling in tent camping and longer hikes. Back in September when we took our truck camper to Shenandoah National Park we…

During the last week of September, we camped at Big Meadows Campground, centrally located within Shenandoah National Park. We hoped we would get lucky and see beautiful fall color, but we were a little bit too early for that. One thing I do before booking campsites is to thoroughly and excessively research campsites them. We chose…

We recently camped in Great Smoky Mountain National Park at Cataloochee Campground. On our last day there, it rained, so we took our truck camper to explore other areas of the park because we usually don’t drop the camper when we camp. After a white-knuckle drive on the way out of the Cataloochee Valley, we…

We have been trying to take a trip to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and it just hasn’t lined up with our schedules. We booked October reservations two years ago and were excited to visit there in the fall. However, we had to cancel due to a family obligation. We booked another one–this time for…

Since the time we bought our truck camper in July 2020 and finally started camping by September, we have camped around our state five times. Plus, we had a sixth trip scheduled a month ago but canceled it due to storms (and it didn’t even rain after all). It has rained the majority of the…

I was working away in my virtual home office one day recently when I received an email that the Audible title that I was interested in was ready for download. I had not requested a title, but it turns out that Will had (our Amazon account is associated with my email address). That’s when I…

We watch a lot of YouTube to find tips and advice for truck camper DIY projects, places to go and more. Recently we ran across a video called Best Free Camping in Southeast? We were intrigued because we live in Georgia and dispersed camping is not nearly as easy to find out here as it…

Thanksgiving looked a lot different this year for most everyone, including us. That’s why we decided to pack up the truck camper and take our first cross-country journey to see Will’s family for the holiday. We weren’t comfortable flying for fear of taking the coronavirus to his parents, plus the prospect of seeing part of…
