Never Say Die!
Today we saved the Goondocks! We found a map in my dads attic, and it lead us on a wild and crazy adventure into an underground fortress filled with booty traps, “you mean booby traps” “thats what i said booby traps, God these guys,” Data. We found one eyed Willy’s ship filled with “riches” and [...]
Portlandia
Days 114 and 115 Portland is it! This place is where its at. I could easily make this place my home. We spent 2 jam packed days here. Here’s how it went down…. We pulled into Portland hungry. Parked in the trendy Pearl District Neighborhood, then stumbled upon a local hotspot, Hot Lips Pizza. It [...]
Antelope Valley Slot Canyon Adventuring
Having stayed up with Jillian, Ricky and Liam the night before giggling like maniacs attempting to play Monopoly on the iPad and understand Inception, all while making our neighboring cabin dwellers hate us. I found it hard to fall asleep, as I was both excited for and concerned about the 2nd day of our adventure. [...]
A Hike-Up Hiccup
Finally, the Grand Canyon. Ricky and I had a slight fear that by the time we actually reached this world wonder we would be too jaded to truly appreciate it. But honestly, even after 3 months of traveling and experiencing the most amazing natural beauty that this country has to offer, we were still blown [...]
Takin It Easy
We finished up our route 66 trek. It took us a half day. Now we are just gonna take it easy for the weekend and relax in a hotel in Flagstaff AZ. We are waiting for Liam and Kanya to catch up with us. They’re flying out to AZ to meet up with us at [...]
The Last of the Arches
Today we finished up the rest of our site seeing in Arches national park. We tackled a 7 mile hike called Devil’s Garden and got to see 8 of the park’s Arches, including Landscape Arch which is one of the most famous. In 1991 a HUGE chunk of landscape arch cracked off and tumbled down [...]
Sun up to Sun Down
Got up at the crack of dawn and made our way into Canyonlands under a moonless, star filled sky. The kind you only get when the closest major city is 250 miles away. We hiked the short 1 mile hike to the mesa arch for the sunrise. It was a crisp 20 degrees out and [...]
Hot Slots
Today was a strenuous, but fun day. We set out for the middle of the Utah desert to check out a couple slot canyons that my fiancé found while researching the trip (I had to do it just once…). This hike was a lot different than the ones we have been doing. For starters, we [...]
Reflective Pics Brov, Believe It!
We are up over 10,000 Miles. Exactly 10 weeks in. Couldn’t be more comfortable. Uck, I don’t feel like writing today. What I lack in writing I’ll make up for in Pictures. This morning, before leaving Salt Lake City, we decided to go check out their main tourist attraction, the Mormon Temple. We spent most [...]
Does anyone live in Wyoming?
So we drove north and into Deadwood. Just south of d-wood is an attraction I wanted to check out called President’s Park. Scattered over a couple acres in the black hills are all 43 presidents heads standing 20ft tall. The drive to this place was very silent. Jill was mad at me cuz I wouldn’t [...]
