Yesterday we concluded our 14 day stay outside of Hurricane, Utah. We moved 2 hours south to Lake Mead, Nevada where we plan to once again take advantage of the maximum allowed stay of 14 days. This is our third time living on the road full-time since 2013. Each time with a different truck/trailer combo and each time with a different style of travel. And if there’s...
During our stay in Hurricane, Utah some friends invited us to hike The Subway in Zion National Park.

We split our time between campgrounds and boondocking sites in Utah, Nevada and Arizona, returning to some favorite spots as well as discovering new places we can’t wait to return to.
