A Day at Camp With Us

After arriving from South America in late August we hit the road traveling in a big loop from California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, and back around eventually to Bishop before a trip to Baja then the holidays.

My favorite part of being on the road is the variation of views we get from our "front door". However I also dislike having to constantly move locations, so it has been nice to travel without a serious timeline. If we like a place we stay longer, if the weather isn't ideal we move along. The key to easy travel is developing a set up that works for you. It has taken Bryan and I some time to perfect our set up, but now can pick up and go in a matter or minutes.

People's ideas of how we camp can sometimes be comical so I thought it would be great to document it and share with you all.

How we Travel: By car
Where we Sleep: In a tent (Tommy sleeps outside), or the luxury of a bed if visiting family or friends.
Where we camp: BLM Land (free) or established campgrounds
Showers: Public showers (when available)
Water: Fill up at ranger stations or buy some
Favorite Fast Meal: Quesadillas
Favorite Meals: Steak and Potatoes or Dutch oven pizza
Can't Camp Without: Coffee
Biggest Annoyance: Other people's litter
Greatest Reward: The climbing and being outdoors

Set up is key, and we are dialed!
The view is equally as important.
Laundry day: Best addition to our gear both abroad and on the road!!! (Thanks Heather and Kurt!!)

Our meals on the road are as gourmet as anything we would make in a regular kitchen. (Italian sausage Gnocchi)
