I spent some time recently and merged the maps for each of my individual years of traveling since I started this lifestyle in late 2009. It took some serious effort since Google Maps has so many limitations on how many points and layers you can have on a single map,...
When we left Ketchum we were unsure where we were going to be staying that night. Our backup was an RV park in Stanley, Idaho. We were hoping to stay only a single night there, and depending on if there was good Verizon or not we would stay longer if...
With a day of exploring scheduled Kerri and I set out find a few items on the map. As luck would have it, we needed only travel on a single road to get them all in. The first of which is the ghost town of Bonanza, Idaho. Bonanza was founded...
I can tolerate it a bit more than Kerri; staying in a non-ideal location, that is. So while we were at the Hatchery and not feeling so great about it (not that it was a bad place to be) it was Kerri who made the call to find another place...
On the drive from the Grand Teton area to Craters of the Moon, we dropped in on Hell’s half acre. Although not a national park (or even a State park) Hell’s half acre is a lava field of more than 68,000 acres with one “hell” of a trail system on...
Ah… Craters of the Moon. I’ve had you on my to-do list every single year I’ve been traveling yet I never really made it into Idaho to drop in for a visit. This time around we get to meet. Every time I looked at a map of everywhere I have...
During our two week stay outside of Grand Teton it had been pretty quite. Our days were two weeks of work days surrounding the weekend yak-packing. There was not much time to do much else. No hiking, or climbing, or kayaking… just work, and a little socializing with neighbors at...
This past weekend was a year and a half in the planning. During our visit to, and kayaking of, Grand Teton National Park in May of 2015 we spotted some boat in campsites on Leigh Lake and we just knew we had to camp there. From that day on, the...
So, yea, I’m a little behind in my blogging… Back at the end of August we rolled into Alpine, Wyoming to stay near enough to the Grand Teton National Park – as it was our destination the following week – but far enough away to avoid the Labor Day Weekend...
We left our overnight spot in the Aspen grove early the next morning. Even with some mileage cut off our route from the previous day’s extra drive, it was still a moderately long haul for the day, and we had two locations along the route to visit. We would be...
