Continuing with our recap and wind-down of 2020, by mid-December we made it back to the east coast. After a few long travel days we spent an afternoon catching up on errands (showering at Planet Fitness, groceries, etc.) in Brunswick on the southern end of the Georgia coast. We found a free parking spot inContinue reading “East Bound and Up”

Down on The Bayou
First off – Apologies to all our loyal followers that we are so delinquent on this blog post. We’re still alive, doing great, and will attempt to catch up over the next few days. We’re writing this from my parents house where we’ve spent the last few days relaxing, watching football, and catching up onContinue reading “Down on The Bayou”
Sippin’ Whiskey
Before leaving Nashville we decided to stop at Corsair, a local distillery (thanks for the recommendation Mark). We were able to safely enjoy a tasting of a variety of their products including vodka, gin, and whiskey. We left with a souvenir of their Triple Smoke Whiskey, with plans to bring several new spirits home toContinue reading “Sippin’ Whiskey”
Asheville to Nashville
When we set off in Wilda this time around, we didn’t have a concrete plan about where we wanted to go. We originally wanted to head back to the west coast, but with only five weeks until Christmas we realized that may not be realistic in order to make it home for the holidays. Well,Continue reading “Asheville to Nashville”
Blue Ridge Parkway
With the van repacked we immediately headed south to try and find warmer weather (spoiler – we haven’t found it yet). We made a quick stop in Scranton to get an oil change at the Dodge dealership’s Heavy Duty Truck Center (that’s us now) which was surprisingly cheaper than a typical oil change in DC.Continue reading “Blue Ridge Parkway”
Southern Colorado
Don’t worry, we’re fine. Just a lot to catch up on, so here goes; we last posted in Wyoming… From Wyoming we continued south in hopes of avoiding the bulk of the west coast wildfires, and because we had a new mission which included a few unplanned stops in Utah and New Mexico (more onContinue reading “Southern Colorado”
Grand Tetons (Wyoming)
On Monday morning we took advantage of our Airbnb in Idaho Falls and slept in, before making the drive to Grand Teton National Park. It was a great basement apartment and included a friendly outdoor doggo. He was nice. We stopped to grab some breakfast at a highly-rated place we found online called Mitchell’s, whichContinue reading “Grand Tetons (Wyoming)”
Yellowstone (Wyoming)
We headed west out of North Dakota and made for Yellowstone, arguably one of the most famous National Parks (and the oldest). Our route took us through Montana where we stopped for one night and camped along the Yellowstone River. The highlight of that evening was a bald eagle perched on the tree overhanging ourContinue reading “Yellowstone (Wyoming)”
North Dakota
From one Dakota to the next. White Butte After our last night in South Dakota we kept driving north and crossed over into North Dakota. The driving scenery remained pretty much the same and while normally I’m sure you could see for miles in every direction, we were still surrounded by a smoky haze inContinue reading “North Dakota”
South Dakota
Driving through South Dakota featured a lot of long, straight highways, fields, cows, and (on the plus side) mostly 80 mph speed limits. This area is also known as the badlands, and according to Google the official definition is “extensive tracts of heavily eroded, uncultivable land with little vegetation”, which we can attest is accurate.Continue reading “South Dakota”
