Beautiful Bozeman
We came up to Bozeman via West Yellowstone and Big Sky. A beautiful drive, and I was excited to see a new city in Montana. We have friends here, Brian and Sarah. Brian owns a bike/ski shop in Bozeman called the Gear Wizard, and they’ve lived in Bozeman for years now. We set up the truck…

Yellowstone (part 2)
As I mentioned before, Yellowstone is waaay too big to cover in just one day. Therefore it’s too big to cover in just one blog post. The adventure continues!

Yellowstone (part 1)
Yellowstone might just be too big for a single post. We ended up spending a total of five days in and around this amazing National Park. We drove up through the south entrance on the 15th, arriving around 5pm or so, and our first stop was the West Thumb area. I was excited to show…

Adventures in Crested Butte
Michael politely suggested I change the subtitle of this blog, to “let’s go traveling” instead of “let’s go adventuring.” See, the thing is, adventures are not always fun while they’re happening. And Crested Butte was an adventure. We arrived under sunny skies, near dusk on Tuesday, and quickly found a nice spot to camp along…

RockyGrass Recap (part 2)
RockyGrass was too much fun. This recap is is mostly an excuse to put up all the photos I took!

RockyGrass Recap (part 1)
Our first stop as official, full-time travelers? RockyGrass. For those of you who don’t know, RockyGrass is an amazing bluegrass festival that takes place every July in Lyons, CO. We’ve been going since 2009 and every year seems like the best ever. Even though we used to live just down the road (fun fact: we…
