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.

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…

Having lived in Georgia for 39 years I had never heard about Providence Canyon until a few years ago. Once I did, I added it to my bucket list. We finally made it there for a day trip, and it is a magical place despite how it came to be. The canyon was formed due…

Sometimes you just want to get a great photo of you and your travel partner with the awe-inspiring landscape behind you, but you’re limited by the length of your arms or your selfie stick. Or, you have to bother a stranger, and in our new pandemic world, that may no longer be ideal. I’m here…

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…
