Our First Hotel Stop!
Alright, so a couple of weeks ago I was so excited about the hotel, I almost skipped a campsite and national park! We got to the hotel and we were so excited! You could get up in the middle of the night without grabbing a dog leash to go to the bathroom! You could get Continue reading

Travel Routines
Ok, I got a little ahead of myself last week. We had one more campsite to go to before we headed to the hotel. This was just outside of Capitol Reef National Park. We did not have a dog kennel or daycare reservation for the pups, so it was another drive through the park, stop Continue reading

Taking a Break?
Traveling is hard. Even when you know where your next destination is going to be, it’s a bit different, when every few nights you are sleeping in a new location, even if you are sleeping on your own pillow and your ‘bed’ is a Thermarest! As we planned this trip, we knew that after only Continue reading

Silverton Train and Mesa Verde
You’ve probably already picked up on this, but after the Great Sand Dunes National Park and the Rio Grande National Forest, we made our way to Mesa Verde National Park and the Durango area. After being at the campsite outside of Great Sand Dunes, when we saw we had showers at Mesa Verde, we were Continue reading

Traveling with Dogs
We have two dogs. A Gordon Setter and a Shih Tzu mix of some sort. When we first started planning this adventure, especially the sailing part, a lot of people asked, “What about your dogs? Are they coming with you?” My first, obvious, gut reaction, was “Of course!” Then I started wondering, how does that Continue reading

Sand Dunes and Camping
Once we left Cheyenne, we headed south to the Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, in the southern portion of Colorado. I’ve seen sand dunes before, just north of Rock Springs, WY, there’s a batch of sand dunes. Great Sand Dunes is a bit different though. To see the mountains, trees, a couple of rivers, Continue reading

What’s next?! I haven’t written since our trip to see One Life and load her up with some stuff from the house…but by now, school’s out. So what are we up to? We just began an epic road trip that started at Sand Dunes National Park, heading over to Mesa Verde National Park after that Continue reading

One Life — Part II
We made the decision to go to One Life for Spring Break. Sandy and I drove for about 30 hours and had some great experiences cross country driving. It’s something we haven’t done in a long time. One benefit of the cross-country drive that we did is that gave me some reassurance that we can Continue reading

Change your Question
When I was in the seventh, eighth grade, I bought a Canon T50. I had a 35mm to 55 mm lens and a 75mm to 200mm zoom lens as well. It came as a package is my recollection. I had that camera until probably the early 2000s when it finally died. As we have Continue reading
