June & July 2024
Overlander forums touted Newfoundland as a top spot for crown land camping (our BLM). We took a 10 hour ferry into Port Aux Basque and navigated the 700 km TransCanada Highway to Newfoundland’s Capital, St. John over 30 days, visiting every national historic site and park along with countless seaside villages on quaintly named driving loops. We learned how fishermen killed the cod industry, why icebergs are flowing and whales are detouring, how the US built and abandoned air bases and why tourism is the new hope for an isolated, aging and unhealthy population.
February & March 2024
West Texas is among our favorite lonely places in the US. We off-roaded into the interior of Big Bend Ranch State Park (BBRSP) at length, living 10 days in some of the most inaccessible destinations such as Guale and Rincon. We reconnected with our favorite haunts in Marfa and Terlingua. Why did Convenience West have to close?
September & October 2023
An article in the NYT discussing the nation’s highest highway … an annual buffalo roundup and arts festival outside the Badlands … an abandoned Air Force base for sale on the US/Canadian border. What’s life like on the hi-line? Where do the buffalo roam? Can we survive 30 days in a tent on America’s northern border highway before winter arrives?
10T-iversary: Chasing California Super-Blooms
March & April 2023
Married on the steps of the Jefferson Memorial during Cherry Blossom season, how do we commemorate a ten year anniversary? In a tent, of course! During a superbloom, while the border is in the news and Coachella is on stage. When Joshua Tree and Death Valley have tolerable temps, the Integratron has a last minute cancellation, and a late season snow storm hits us at Vail Pass.
September 2022
With camping finally reopening, we tackle the Final Four in New Orleans, deep sea fishing in Corpus Cristi, and touring Big Bend, Guadalupe Mountains, White Sands, Petrified Forest, Great Basin and Gateway Arch National Parks with an overlanding intervention in Flagstaff.
March – June 2022
A two month excursion to a handful of National parks morphed into an 8 month cross-country COVID experience. From Congaree to the Great Smokey Mountains, we were shut out of an underground tour in Mammoth Cave then crying with a bag pipe playing Irish bartender in Hot Springs before high tailing it to Barksdale AFB where we sheltered in place for 2 months. North to Teddy Roosevelt then west to Glacier, we kept on to exhaust every inch of Washington State and doubled back through Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Cheyenne to artsy Taos. It was an affair to remember.
