Road trips can be a bit unpredictable and sometimes though we might have a goal to make it to the next official campsite, life happens and our timelines simply don’t match up. If you have ever been in one of these situations you know how it feels possibly to be driving for hours in your car or RV only to see the day getting away and the panic of where should I stay setting in. But what are your options when you simply cannot keep driving and need to throw in the towel for th
When searching for the larger than life roadside stops across America it is easy to see a few similarities across the board. You might find several stops with Texas-Sized chairs, Muffler Men, oversized mascots or a variety of places spanning from the somewhat normal to the crazy. Oversized has always been an obsession it seems and with Ripley’s and Guinness Book entertaining the ever ongoing search for the next big thing, quite literally, the list continues to grow. But with
With Questival just a few hours away, I finally have arrived in Denver after 2 days of what I could honestly say have been some very trying days of travel. Before taking off on Tuesday afternoon, I was all a buzz about products I was going to be sharing with you all and my new path to Colorado. Every time I have been to or through the state I have always traveled westerly through Texas, one of the longest and most bleak stretches of road to travel. For miles and miles all yo
What are some of your most important factors when traveling? Yes, this might seem like a pretty vague question, but when considering your style of travel you want to ask yourself many questions like: Where am I going? What will I be doing when I am there? How will traveling? All of these factor into one BIG decision: WHAT DO I PACK? Depending on where we are going and the variety of activities we might be participating in while at our location we want to find things which
If you have ever been through this area you might have stopped off to enjoy the water front views, the picturesque bridge and falls or maybe even a picnic in the park. But what you might have missed is an opportunity to camp in this location!! When I pulled into town for a brief moment to rest along long road trip I thought I would check out some of the campsites the community has to offer. I was advised to stop over to check out the rock creations at this park and told that
Travel my way on the highway that’s best Get your kicks on Route sixty-six It is a rite of passage to travel on the original super highway. Originally running from Chicago, Illinois to Los Angeles, California the highway created dreams, fostered in new methods of transportation, played a pivotal part in the war effort, and with each passing tire created a long lasting legacy. Spanning nearly 2500 miles, Route 66 is a legendary highway with many stories to tell and legends to
When you think of Virginia, several things might come to mind including the scenic coastline, historic cities or the Shenandoah National Park where you an meander your way through the skylines peering off into natural beauty. But while exploring the great state, you will not want to miss a slightly lesser known natural wonder, the Natural Bridge State Park. Known for beautiful natural parks and outdoor spaces to rival that of many neighboring states with views that seem to
I have passed by the sign to Lake Arrowhead State Park probably hundreds of times and never stopped in. It was always intriguing, but like most places in your own backyard you tend to neglect sometimes the most obvious places to stop in for some rest and relaxation while trying to run off to the next big adventure up the road. But finally I had enough and just had to make a stop after seeing somethings online which swayed me to take the short exit off Highway 287 in North Tex
Ever travel with your children only to notice they become quickly agitated by the lengthy time on the road. You might recall the sounds of the chorus of "are we there yet?" sounding throughout your car to the point that you have possibly even questioned why you decided to make such a journey. The best possible way to stop this before it happens is finding something interactive the children can do while traveling to make the road a bit less mundane. Through years of seeing gam
Check out this footage from the amazing 2 week road trip earlier this Spring! Thought it would never be published but finally at last the Pam and Crystal road trip can live again!! Carlsbad Caverns, NM #Carlsbadcaverns #newmexico #thingstodoinnewmexico #roadtrip
Today is packing day before I depart tomorrow and this is the day which always seems to give me the most stress. It is the cusp of the adventure ahead and making sure everything is packed away is of the utmost importance.
Every trip you know you will need the basics: tent, sleeping accommodations, clothing, toiletries and food of some sort. I personally prefer to have nonperishable items for food options so I can cook easily at my campsite rather than always having to find
I always enjoy a good pass through Austin, though typically I am never there for long, I always enjoy the sights and sounds of the unique city. Though it happens to be the capitol of Texas, it is unlike any other capitol city you will find as its culture paves the way to a city of innovation and art which cannot be surpassed. The first time I heard the phrase “Keep Austin Weird” I was a little confused, I knew two things to be in the city, the University of Texas and all of
If you have ever wondered what it would be like to roll down to the quarry or have a Brontosaurus steak just like Fred and Barney, there is a little place just southeast of the Grand Canyon where you can do just that, Bedrock. A tourist spot located in Arizona, it is one of several Flintstone themed stops along the highways and byways of the United States. Offering not only Fred's Cafe and trinket shop, but also camping for those wanting to stay just outside of the busy are
