A few years ago, I took a solo camping trip over Fourth of July weekend and that trip started a tradition of road trips every Independence Day.

Everyone talks about the “Land of 10,000 Lakes” and how we are further north than Toronto and I want to experience all of this glorious nature for myself.

Last Saturday, in true last-minute fashion, I gave the DNR a call to find a state park with some availability for the night. Fall is officially here and I have to pounce on every opportunity to sleep outside! I was surprised by how many parks were full but eventually we found a spot at Beaver […]

Hi guys! I wanted to round out the photo journals from our 10 day road trip out west with two of the most beautiful parks in existence, Yellowstone and Grand Teton. We spent only one full day in each of the parks but we saw as much as possible and dang, was it incredible! Here […]
