Camper's Guide: Mary Smith Campground

October 7, 2014

The first place we stayed, and one of my favorites on the trip was up in northern California: Mary Smith Campground on Lewiston Lake.

This campground has only 17 units, for tents only – no trailers here. I grew up camping in a pop-up tent and I'm sure some day I'll return to a more glamorous version of camping, but for now, I enjoy our little tent and it was nice to look around at our surroundings and see others doing the same...

SLO to PNW: Day 1, 2, & 3

September 23, 2014

Howdy from Grant's Pass, OR! It's day three of our journey north and we still have so much more to see. I greatly overestimated our access to cell phone reception on this trip, hence my lack of updates. I wish to go on and on, telling you about every single mile we've traveled, including intricate details and funny stories, but I'm not sure how much longer I have in this reception zone. Instead I will share some of my favorite pictures from the trip so far! (All taken from my iPhone – raw, unedited.)

Happy Vacationing!

Good Patterns

June 24, 2014

Lucky me to have been raised by not one, but two, adventurous parents.

For as long as I can remember they were taking us places, driving down country roads, traveling deep into the Sierra Nevadas, parking next to riverbeds, popping up tent and trailer, roasting marshmallows, playing tunes around the fire, biking on dirt-filled trails, motor-boating across lakes, hiking through mountain and meadow, and eating some darn good, fresh caught fish...
