Adventure or Nothing

Okay, we tried to get caught up, but Baja was so great we couldn't wait. We'll get back to the West Coast at some point. 

Here we go!

After days of pumping ourselves up for our big day: all necessary paperwork in order, passports accessible, tank full of gas, we w...

Our ferry got into Port Angeles around 9pm. We had arranged earlier in the day to stay at the KOA in town so we didn’t have to roam around in the dark looking for somewhere to camp. Found cheap wine (our old stand-by that hadn’t been available in all of Canada) and fir...

From Jasper - West toward Vancouver. Driving down the highway, we saw yellow guitar shaped signs advertising free camping. Probably too good to be true, but we decided to check it out anyway. So we followed the signs waayyyy back into the mountains and came upon a hipp...

Obviously we’re burning through these blog entries the same way we burned through Canada, but it’s about to slow down a bit, so stick with us.

Saskatoon was quite a bit cooler than expected. We walked around in a few different neighborhoods and had a couple of decent b...

Canada, here we come! After staying a night near Duluth, we got the jeep all cleaned up and presentable for our first border crossing at Thunder Bay. We were giddy and nervous. If the border patrol decided they don’t like the looks of us, they could hold us up in custo...

The Jeep is running great, we had a perfect two nights on the shore of High Rock Bay and we were looking forward to a much needed hot shower at Rick’s house. That morning, there was a light drizzle, so we packed up camp early and headed back to Hancock to find Rick.

So we’re a few weeks behind. It’s hard to get motivated to write every day when we’re constantly on the move and enjoying some of the most beautiful scenery we’ve ever seen. The next few blog posts will come in short bursts to get us caught up. Here we go!

Where did w...

We left Kentucky on Wednesday, July 30th to officially begin our adventure. 

Here's a quick rundown of events:

Spent two nights in Chicago, visiting with friends and family.
Headed out on Friday morning after a solid nights sleep in the first real bed we'd slept in in a...

After leaving Hot Springs, AR, we headed north on the scenic State Route 7 to Russellville, AR and set up camp at Illinois Bayou Park. It had been raining all day, which we didn’t mind except that building a fire was kind of a pain. That night, we drank wine by the fir...

Saturday, June 7, day 13 “on the trail”.   In quotes because technically we are about an hour and a half south of the trail in Hot Springs AR, sitting on the outdoor patio of the grand Arlington Hotel, enjoying a stiff Bourbon ginger ale.  The first time in nearly a we...
