We spent about two weeks in the mountains of Colorado between Vail and Beaver Creek ski resorts. We more or less went straight up to about 7,500 feet above sea level, and we both felt the effects of the elevation and humidity change for the first few days – dull headaches and drinking a ton of water but never feeling […]
We made it! We left North Carolina 37 days ago, and this morning we dropped the camper off in storage outside Denver. Our journey was a little over 3,500 miles and we stayed in 12 states along the way. Fun fact – the average cost of gas over the course of our entire trip was $3/gallon (least expensive was Kansas […]
We are often asked how far we drive each day, and the answer is that it really depends. What day of the week is it? Are we trying to get somewhere in a set time frame? What else do we need to do that day? Do we have the camper? With the camper, we usually aim for about 3 hours […]
A couple of years ago I noticed there were a lot of ski resorts between New England and Colorado. Since we drive from the east to west coast each year, we thought it would be fun(ny) to incorporate skiing them into our trip. I realized we could easily hit 8 resorts between Pennsylvania and Missouri without deviating much from our […]
For the next three days we’ll be at Attitash Mountain ski resort in New Hampshire. As you might guess, early December, midweek is not a popular time to ski, so we basically have the entire hotel and ski resort to ourselves. Excited to have a big place with two floors and our own full kitchen! Another thing that is always […]
So the original reason for the side trip to Boston was to see a Patriots game. In my logistics research on tickets, I found a parking lot that pays YOU $50 to park as long as you leave 75 minutes after the game. What?! Needless to say, we were in. Unfortunately though, Boston’s forecast was not in. With a 95% […]
The next stop on our New England journey was Boston. Rosie & Eliza were our gracious hosts for the weekend! We had some extra time before meeting up with them, so we checked out the Harpoon brewery near their place. The tasting was great; would highly recommend to anyone in the Boston area. It was only $5, and we and […]
We skied Hunter Mountain in the morning, and took our time driving up to Mt. Snow in Vermont – home for the rest of the week. Most people know I love a good map – I’m still working on building one for this website, but for now, you can see our route through mid-December in the screenshot. Dover, Vermont
