Driving to Sedona | Arizona
- I had a really great time in California. But with El Nino in full force this winter, heavy rains forced us to end our visit early. The day before we left, it rained the whole day. I was working in our camper when I stepped outside to get something from the car and saw that the whole campground was floode [...]
Visiting San Fransisco Chinatown | California
- As you may have already gathered, I'm not much of a city person. We’ve really enjoyed our time exploring State and National Parks along this trip. That being said- we were very excited to visit San Fransisco. We planned to head into the city for one day during our visit to the bay area. With El [...]
Point Reyes Shipwreck + Lighthouse | California
- In the time that I was in Point Reyes, we had been hearing a lot about this shipwreck. Something about a fire and the fact that this local monument had to be dismantled and removed. Later we heard that it was actually a group of photographers who destroyed this beautiful relic while trying out some py [...]
Sunset on Mount Tamalpais | California
- I went to Mount Tamalpais by recommendation of our friends Meg and Matt. We briefly looked up some photos online before our visit, but had no idea it would be this beautiful. The drive up the mountain is quite the adventure! The road winds round and around, along steep cliffs and overlooks. Al [...]
Hiking and Camping with Meg + Matt | California
- I can’t tell you how good it feels to catch up with old friends on the road. Our friends Meg and Matt just moved to San Francisco from North Carolina. They’ve lived here for about four months now, so I knew we had to meet up with them if we headed down their way. Lucky for us, el Ni [...]
Hiking the Estero Trail in Point Reyes | California
- As I’m sure you can tell from the photos, the Point Reyes National Seashore is really gorgeous. But I’m sure you are also surprised - as was I - to see so many cows along the coast. What I had envisioned was rocky cliffs and jagged landscapes. It was such a pleasant surprise to see so [...]
Sunset in Point Reyes National Seashore | California
- Ahhhhh California. How wonderful it was to see the sun and feel warmth in the air again. We forgot how much we missed it! I really lucked out with the campground we chose. Olema Campground is located about an hour outside of San Francisco, which is where we had originally anticipated spending all of our [...]
Camping in Olema | California
- Heading down the California coast has been a real treat. After weeks and weeks of rain, we are so happy to feel the warm sunshine. Don’t get me wrong- we’ve really enjoyed the misty, moody Pacific Northwest. But we’re from North Carolina. And Carolinians are just used to a lot more sun! :) Looking [...]
Hiking in Jedediah Smith Redwood Forest | California
- I had no idea there were so many Redwood parks on the west coast. For some reason, growing up in the midwest, I just imagined that the Redwoods were just in one big park somewhere in California. In reality, there are dozens -if not hundreds- of smaller state and national parks. I am so happy to [...]

Grayson and Kristen | Grandfather Mountain Backpacking Engagement
- I had an awesome time backpacking Grandfather Mountain with Grayson, Kristen, and their dog Lucy Goosey. Even with a 20 degree low, relentless wind, and climbing on all fours over icy rock with a 40 lb pack, Grayson and Kristen were in high spirits. It was a truly rugged experience and definitely the most challenging b [...]
