    July 25, 2019 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 63 °F

    Our first official stop is a loves somwhere 70 miles east of Dallas. We didn't have to stop for gas but I was getting pretty tired so we decided to switch out. Only 7.5 hours to Amarillo texas!

  • First campsite

    July 25, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 91 °F

    Our first campsite was a 40 min drive away from the main road. We passed acres upon acres of farm land. It was nice to see cows graze across such a huge amount of land. Our campsite was in the middle of a huge canyon, but there were nice structures there for the picnic tables. I felt like I was in the Highlands sleeping there haha. It was greatRead more

  • Picture Canyon

    July 26, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 88 °F

    Posting a day later because there was no signal at the campground. This place was awesome. Hot during the day, but once the sun finally set it felt really nice. The gravel road was well paved, and we didn't see a single soul until we left. 10/10 would stay again.Read more

  • Stuck until further notice

    July 26, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 73 °F

    Currently stuck in the town of Glenwood Springs. A mudslide washed over I-70 around 2pm and they still haven't cleaned it. The only detour to the south is blocked by a rockslide! We decided to hunger down in glenwood until further notice. Here is some pictures of our scenic route through Colorado though.Read more

  • 2nd campsite

    Came in around midnight, so there was nothing to be seen but the stars. This morning I woke up to this view

  • Yosemite

    July 28, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F

    Wow. This place is totally beautiful. Definitely cannot do everything in one trip. Andie died on the Yosemite falls trail that we did, but a long nap and some coffee seemed to have revived her. Totally excited to explore the rest of the park tomorrow!Read more

  • Native American site

    July 29, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F

    We found genuine native American buildings, including religious ones that are still in use to this day. We passed by and assumed a few people we're breaking the rules by entering the building, but they were actually there to sing some tribal song. It was super neat.Read more

  • Mirror Lake

    July 29, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 81 °F

    This small trail led to an awesome river/lake. The water was ice cold.but crystal clear. Super awesome! We were able to rock climb onto the huge boulder in the middle and it was deep enough to jump off. So we did.Read more

  • Glacier point

    July 29, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F

    This was definitely the most spectacular thing I've ever seen in my life. The view was so thought provoking that I couldn't help but just stare and think. Super awesome

  • Thanks San Fran Hobo Society

    Whelp. I hope whoever took my duffle bag and clothes finds it all worth it. At least you gave me some practice on how to gorrilla tape a window.

  • Unexpected Detour

    July 31, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 79 °F

    Due to a planning error, we could not stay in Sequoia last night, so we found a free campsite and drove 1 1/2 hours through the dark mountains to get here. We saw a baby Coyote on the drive up but it ran off as we drove by. Freecampsites.com did not mention a river, so we were pleasantly surprised by it when we rolled up last night.Read more

  • Morro Rock

    August 1, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 73 °F

    We climbed 332 stairs to see this view. They built the stairs out of the mountain, which I thought was pretty cool.

  • Big Baldy

    August 2, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 68 °F

    This was a 4.4 mile hike roundtrip. It was a very pleasant hike up. The shadows from the trees keeps the area around it cool. It's like a 5 degree difference standing in the shadows or the sun.

  • Random little adventures

    August 2, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 70 °F

    We spent the afternoon exploring the park since there are so many little hikes. We found an overlook covered in stacked stones. It almost looked like a ceremonial witchcraft setup. We also found a huge waterfall closer to Cresent Grove. It was about an hour drive from our campsite. Finally, we visited the John Muir Rock. We didn't get many photos there because the beach was too nice not to swim in. It was freezing water, but still nice to stick your feet in. To Rhys' surprise, a mama bear and her two cubs passed by while we were there.Read more
