Our life on the road

Since 2020 we’ve been full-time nomads. We spend part of the year roaming the mountain west in our 21′ travel trailer and the other part overlanding in Mexico in our truck camper. These are stories from our everyday life on the road.

Emmett, Idaho –> Riggins, Idaho It was mid-day when the last of Cade & Becca’s belongings were loaded up and secured inside their cargo trailer.  After double-checking to-do lists and packing lists and verifying that we all had our passports, we...

Driving to Alaska Day 2: Moving into a new rig

Welcome to post 2 of 18 in our Driving to Alaska series! We hope you enjoy the stories from this unforgettable 4,000 mile road trip. Boise National Forest –> Emmett, Idaho It was hard to leave such a peaceful campsite and having to say goodbye to Josh, Darci & Hannah didn’t make it any easier.  But our friend’s official departure date for Alaska was only a day away and it was time to...

Driving to Alaska Day 1: Idaho and its unmistakable nostalgia

D

Welcome to post 1 of 18 in our Driving to Alaska series! We hope you enjoy the stories from this unforgettable 4,000 mile road trip. I never would have guessed we’d cover the 800 miles from Colorado to Idaho in one day. But the opportunity to spend an entire day camping with Josh, Darci & Hannah was too good to pass up. The 12 hour drive was entirely worth it.  If you don’t know Josh, Darci...

We’re stepping outside our comfort zone and leaving the truck camper behind

This time of year is when our work season begins ramping up and traveling & exploring slows down.  While we’re free to roam wherever the road takes us for the cooler half of the year, June-October is when our work keeps us tied to Colorado.  Sometimes I catch myself dreaming of one day having the freedom to spend a summer traveling to Canada, Alaska, and every mountain state in...

Notes from the road: April ’24

N

Welcome to Notes From The Road, a monthly recap of where we’ve been, what we’ve been up to, and the things we’ve enjoyed over the last 30 days. April began at an idyllic campsite in Arizona and is ending at our property on Colorado’s Western Slope.  It’s been a month filled with many of the unique ups and downs that come with full-time RV travel.  We hope you enjoy this recap of the highs and...

A day in the life: run off by rattlesnakes

A

After six weeks camping in Arizona, it felt good to cross the border into Utah.  Utah is an incredible state, diverse in landscape, with an immense amount of free camping opportunities.  We decided to return to a spot near the small, remote town of Bluff that we’ve previously enjoyed.  Nearby Comb Ridge is one of our favorite geological features in the west and we were hoping to stay a week...

A day in the life: why we plan our travel days conservatively

A

Earlier this week we reached the 14 day limit (stipulated by the rules of the national forest) at the spot we were camped in.  We had no intention of staying that long but the weather could not have been more perfect.  The spot was gorgeous and peaceful, and the nearby hiking trails offered some fantastic swimming and hiking opportunities.  It was a great stay. The beautiful view...

A day in the life: relocating from Wickenburg to Wickenburg

A

I woke up yesterday morning with a singular goal, get outside.  The forecast was calling for 40mph winds beginning at noon, followed by overcast skies, cool temps, and on and off rain for the next three days.  This meant all the doors and windows of our RV would not be open for several days and so getting outside and soaking up the sun was imperative. I hiked a few miles around camp...

Notes from the road: March ’24

N

Welcome to Notes From The Road, a monthly recap of where we’ve been and what we’ve been up to. March began in a small town in Mexico, where we waited two days for fuel to be delivered to the local gas station, and is now ending in central Arizona, where we’re waiting for temps to rise in Colorado before returning to our property for the spring.  After arriving back in the States...

2022: The highlights

2

2022 was a great year full of several wonderful and memorable experiences.  I feel like we really hit our stride with living on the road full-time.  Our business really seemed to hit it’s stride as well after a 2 year long overhaul of its identity and mission.  We kicked off the year with our first ever Baja California road trip and on December 30th were back in Mexico for a second winter...
