“I had a dream of RVing Alaska,” said our mechanic and camper namesake, Buddy. With a slew of health issues, work, and grandbabies keeping him close to home, this forlorn 72-year-old man instilled an Alaskan wanderlust in us from our first day of RV ownership. We had to do an Alaska road trip for him…
Alaska has more coastline than all other U.S. states combined, so even though we just spent four weeks exploring by RV, we knew we had to take to the sea! But we didn’t want to do some big ‘ole cruise ship—we were looking for a company with a strong focus on sustainability and adventure. UnCruise…
We’ve driven Central California’s jaw-dropping section of the Pacific Coast Highway a few times, but never gave San Luis Obispo County the credit it deserves. Halfway between LA and San Francisco, it’s the heart of the Central Coast but often overshadowed by its big-city neighbors and legendary ocean road. We’ve even hopped out to wildlife…
Everyone knows about iconic U.S. road trips like the Pacific Coast Highway or Route 66, but hugging the curves of the Cascade Range? This Oregon road trip has easily been one of our favorite legs on our 100,000-mile journey around the States. Within the Pacific Ring of Fire and running from Northern California to southern…
Who’s got a friend who moved to Colorado recently? Just about everyone…because it’s awesome. It’s a state where mountains erupt from the earth with red cliffs, snowy peaks, and sand dunes. Cities are as cosmopolitan as they are granola, with bankers leaving work early to hit the mountain bike trails and farm-to-table waiters serving to…
When you move almost every day, you cover a lot of ground in a year…like 17,756 miles by car alone. We traveled at a crazy pace in 2018, but the camper inspires us to keep on rolling because there is always another national park, ski village, beach town, monument, honkeytonk, or good friend just around…
After five hours in traffic, creeping through a gritty haze of dust, we got a knock on our car window. “Any Burning Man virgins in there?” said a lady in steampunk goggles and a magenta wig. We pulled up our dust masks and hopped out, knowing this was the start of our initiation as first-time…
We thought we’d do our North Florida Road Trip for maybe three weeks…it turned into nearly six! And we didn’t lollygag anywhere either; we explored 36 different regions, and unique they were…from white sand beaches to swamps, springs, islands, savanna, hardwood hammocks, villages, and various “capitals” of the world. This is a bit of a…
Did you know that Orlando is America’s most-visited vacation destination? People, a Florida road trip has so much more going for it than amusement parks! More freshwater springs than anywhere in the world, the one and only Everglades, the oldest European city in the U.S., a melting pot of cultures from around the globe, and…
We’ve always dreamt about going to Montana, and who hasn’t? The land of Big Sky, where buffalo roam, cowboys rule the rolling hills, and A River Runs Through It… it’s the wild west at its most romantic. Ever since the railroad blazed a trail across the country in the late 1800s, Montana has captured the…
We received the very first copy of our National Geographic book just a few days before our trip to the Olympic Peninsula….a featured destination in Ultimate Journeys for Two. We were dying to return and hike the temperate rain forests, tidepool our favorite beaches, and spy the glaciers and islands from Hurricane Ridge. Then we…
