Looking to escape the congestion and crowds typically associated with Utah and Colorado? Sure you know “The Four Corners”, but did you know about “The Tripoint”? To be fair there are many tripoints in the United States, but the point where Utah, Colorado, and Wyoming meet reigns supreme. With smaller crowds, astounding scenery, and big...

Outific.com is web solutions company based in Loveland Colorado, so we figured Loveland would make a good starting point for our series outlining what to do and where to go for various locations around the country. In this article we’ll explore our top picks for “The Sweetheart City”, a vibrant town located at the center...

Well, it’s been a while. I could use covid as an excuse, but why lie. I’m lazy. Since we’re getting ready to head back out on the road after two months quarantined in Mesa, AZ, I figured I should catch up on blogging. This one will pack 6 months of travel into what I hope...

After leaving the Tarheel State we marched further south out of necessity, the days were growing shorter and nights colder. We arrived in South Carolina excited to explore a new state, not yet knowing what to expect. Our main goal was to explore the coast, but on the way, we made a quick stop at...

During our stay in the Smokies, we briefly entered the state of North Carolina, but after leaving Tennesse for good we entered the Tarheel State intending to stay awhile. We’d start high in the Appalachian mountains, and travel east towards the Outer Banks where we spent over a week soaking in the sun, sand, and...

We stayed in Michigan a bit longer than we had planned but didn’t regret our decision given the state’s epic beauty. All good things must come to an end though, and some hard deadlines made it necessary to start heading south. From Southern Michigan, we made the grueling (traffic-wise) drive to Elkhart Indiana, the birthplace...

We spent nearly a month in Minnesota, swimming, fishing, turtle racing (seriously), and generally relaxing, living the stationary and indoor plumbing lifestyle at Jackie’s parents’ place. We didn’t plan to stay as long as we did, but the comfort and hospitality level were just too tempting. Like all good things our lake cabin time had...

It was sad to say goodbye to Idaho, certainly the most RV friendly state we’ve visited. It had clean and free dump stations in nearly every town (bonus points for dump station hoses with threaded ends for easy flushing), and affordable camping almost everywhere. We needed to move on, however, and we crossed into Montana...

We had been living on the West Coast (California and Oregon) for about 2-1/2 months and I for one was ready to get back inland. Idaho was our next stop, one of the places I’d been most excited about. Our first stop would be Boise, just over the border from Oregon, and Idaho’s biggest city....

While the Oregon Coast was brilliant, there were the drawbacks of rain, cold, and cost of living. After leaving Newport Marina, we made a sharp right turn and started traveling east. For the foreseeable future, we’ll be traveling east until we hit the Atlantic Coast. The task for now though was to explore Central Oregon....

And so we continued North. Just over the border from California was our first stop on the Oregon coast, the city of Brookings. Brookings was built around a harbor at the mouth of the Chetco River. Like other cities on the Oregon Coast, the big industries are lumber, fishing, and tourism. We ended up staying...

With the Central Valley and Wine Country in our rearview mirrors, we made our way towards the coast. We made the conscious decision to skip the California coast from the Mexico border to San Francisco. Like a lot of our decisions, it came down to money. Coastal camping in the more populated areas of California...

When you hear ‘Wine Country’, the first thing that probably comes to mind is Napa, or possibly Sonoma, the two most popular winemaking regions in California. When we were planning this leg of our trip we were hit with the reality that we really couldn’t afford camping at $60 or $70 per night most campgrounds...

Joshua Tree… check. Death Valley… check. Next on the list of California’s Gold was the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Specifically the Alabama Hills, Sequoia National Park, Kings Canyon National Park, and Yosemite. Our first stop would be Lone Pine California, the gateway to the Alabama Hills, and Mount Whitney. Diaz Lake Campground Looking Towards the High...

Back home in Colorado, there’s a town called Greeley. Whether deserved or not Greeley is known as sort of a dump. The constant smell of cattle feces from the neighboring feedlot doesn’t help. A while ago, Greeley came up with the somewhat odd marketing slogan “Greeley Unexpected”. It implies: “We know you think we’re a...

We left Arizona behind just as our first month of full-time RVing also came to an end. I’ve gotta say it felt longer than a month. Overall we did pretty well. We were only slightly over budget and had no major breakdowns or mechanical issues. We’re getting used to limited showers, and having to conserve...

We left the Phoenix metroplex ready to ditch the traffic and overcrowding, at least for a little while. Our next destination was the boondocking mecca of Quartzsite Arizona, and it certainly was a change of pace. Apparently, Quartzsite camping areas can get extremely busy in the winter due to snowbird RVers taking advantage of the...

It’s our first RV gear review, and what better piece of gear to review than the RV itself. When we first started toying with the idea of taking some time away from work to travel the country in an RV we had no idea what kind of RV we actually wanted. In fact, we knew...

We knew lodging was going to be a challenge for the Phoenix/Scottsdale portion of our trip. It was mid-March so we had to contend with snowbirds, spring breakers, and MLB spring training attendees (yes that’s a real thing, I can’t imagine anything more boring). State park campgrounds around the metro area were all completely booked....

This week our travels took us to Tucson Arizona, I was not sure what to expect other than a lot of cacti. It did not disappoint on that count. The drive was an easy couple hours of interstate from our last home in Willcox. We had decided to stay in the Casino Del Sol parking...
