The Golden Spike National Historical Park in Utah – Day 44
Today we had the pleasure of spending some time at The Golden Spike National Historical Park. Just northwest of Salt Lake City, we made this our final stop in Utah. We both have always been fascinated with the beauty and history of trains. In fact, during our first week of the trip we spent the […]

Cooking In A Camper – How We Create Our Meals On The Road. Day 42
Since we have been on the road for 42 days now, one of the most frequently asked questions is how are we cooking in our camper and what meals do we prepare while on the road. And I have to be honest, we have changed very little about how we cook while traveling across the […]
A Day In Provo – Bridal Veil Falls, Sundance Film Resort & BYU Football – Day 41

Finding Out What Goat Heads Are…The Hard Way! Day 37 On The Road
Up until two days ago, I can honestly say that Mary and I had never heard of the term “goat heads,” and certainly didn’t have the slightest clue what pain they could cause. Oh, but how quickly we learn things on this trip! And sometimes, like with the goat heads, it’s the hard way! A […]
