Hike - The Window trail
27 de setembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
This hike has a start point right on our camp site. It's down all the way from the start to an epic lookout and then back up to camp where we can have an old cold beverage (and keep our eyes open for spiders)Leia mais

Camp #14 - Pine Springs, GMNP
28 de setembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Pine Springs Campground in Guadalupe Mountains National Park.

I've gone from cooking up paella on a camp stove, to doing instant noodles on the jet boil.

3 different trucks and 3 different types of roof top tents. I'm pretty sure I've got the best truck and tent 👌Leia mais

Hike - Devil's Hall trail
29 de setembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 14 °C
The trail started from our camp spot, so it was rude not to do it. Most of the hike is up the washed up river, so it's not very flat underfoot, but a great hike.

Camp #15 - BLM sunset reef
29 de setembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
This is a free camp spot on BLM land close to Carlsbad Cavern. It's close enough so we can get back up to watch the bats.
For free camp site, it's great. Each pitch has a fire pit, bbq, bench, shade and bin. There's also a (pit) toilet.

We took one of the tent spots rather than the RV spots and put up our hiking tent to reserve our spot whilst we went out to watch the bat's. 🤞 That we have bat's there unlike Austin.Leia mais

Camp #16 - Oliver Lee
30 de setembro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C
Camp #16 - near White Sands National Park, New Mexico.
Today we got ourself a mattress topper as both of our backs are hurting a lot! This camp ground had the perfect bench for us to cut up the new topper to fit the mattress in the tent.
I opened a bottle of cider and the spiders web around the ladder caught the cap. Although it didn't work on the second bottle.
We ate dinner and then Laura watched the sunset, said: "that ways West. Fancy going to California?" in a few weeks maybe.

Lots of mosquitos again. And for anybody keeping track of costs it was $10 + $4 reservation fee for this site. But flushing toilets and showers!Leia mais

Camp #17 - Coronado camp (Albuquerque)
1 de outubro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
We've pulled in here for a couple of nights to go to the international balloon fiesta.
Tonight we're going to attempt sleeping with the tent half down so we can pack up quicker and easier in the morning (like pre-4am) to get there for the sunrise.
Another couple of night's camping along the river Rio Grande.
Also a good little spot to allow me to undertake some drone repairs. I went to fly the drone in White Sands and it wouldn't fly due to a faulty fan. So I bought some screwdrivers, took it apart and hopefully it'll work when I next want to use it 🤞Leia mais

Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta
2 de outubro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C
Growing up in Bristol I've done the Bristol International Balloon fiesta a couple of times, but this is bigger on a different scale!
The sunrise take off at 7am was dayed about an hour because of winds. Thankfully we took a blanket and the chairs from the truck. So we just setup camp and waited to see the skies fill with balloons. Over 650 balloons at the event with an expectation of over 2 million visitors during the week.Leia mais

We agreed that we should get breakfast out after the balloon fiesta, considering we were up at 3:30 for it. Although it's now 11am and we've still not eaten, so is it really breakfast? 😂
Time for some pancakes though!Leia mais

Buffalo Lodge Bicycle Resort
3 de outubro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Whilst chatting to Dave Cornwaithe about Colorado he mentioned his friend Torie owned a place called the buffalo Lodge which is a bicycle motel/resort. We stayed the night here where they do bike rides from, rent out bikes and everything is bike themed. A perfect place for us to stay the night in Colorado Springs, shame we didn't have more time to enjoy the bikes.Leia mais

Camp #18 - Moraine Park (Rocky Mountains
4 de outubro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ⛅ 8 °C
First night(s) using the diesel heater. It was needed, along with the electric blanket and the down blanket. It did get cold, but the views are incredible.
You can hear Elk (and maybe some moose) yelling all the time, day and night.
We also had our first camp fire here (and made smoores)

Laura wasn't a fan of her summit breakfast scramble meal. So we won't be buying that one again. Bacon sandwiches tomorrow?

Dinner evening 2 was more ready to eat meals (these were better than breakfast) followed by Smores before using the diesel heater and electric blanket in the tent.

Breakfast morning 2 we had those bacon sandwiches finally!

Dinner for evening 3 James is a going to cook. Although he was rudely interrupted during his cooking by Elk!Leia mais

Hike - Fern lake
5 de outubro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C
Our first hike in the Rockies. We hiked Fern Lake, the route takes you through where some forest fires were in 2020 (you can see the burned trees) and at the top we were rewarded with an alpine lake view. On our way back we ended up walking past a bunch of resting Elk.Leia mais

Hike - Bear, Emerald & Haiyaha lake
6 de outubro de 2022, Estados Unidos ⋅ ☀️ 9 °C
Hike around various lakes in the Rocky Mountain National Park.
We caught the free bus from our camp ground to the park and ride and then switched to another bus that dropped us off at Bear lake.
A quick walk around Bear Lake, followed by Nymph lake, then a hike up to Dream lake and then Emerald lake.
Coming back down there was a split off back up to Haiyaha lake. Haiyaha was the most beautiful milky blue colour.
I got changed and tried to dip in this glacier lake, but it was just too cold for my feet.Leia mais

We stopped off in this little mountain town of Vail. We're here between mountain bike and skiing season, so it was a bit of an odd stop, but we grabbed a drink before heading on
