I am blessed that I have been able to work during the pandemic, and we did take some short road trips, but now I am fully vaccinated, and really wanted to check the Oregon Coast off my bucket list. Yachats, Oregon is super dog friendly! There is so much to do: casual walks along the…
All it took was one wildflower photo on Instagram in 2017 to send me on the search for my first Superbloom experience! People hadn’t seen wildflowers like these in over a decade! Being from Northern California and that it was still too early for the Superbloom here I had to head south a bit, and…
As soon as I pulled up to our campsite, I regretted only planning to be at Great Sand Dunes National Park for only one night. Our site, #20 had a good view of The Dunes as well as the Sangre De Cristo Mountains. Before even setting our tent up, or hiking the dunes, this felt…
Ever since my first trip to the gorgeous Mendocino Coast last year, I’ve wanted to go back and start to get Chico into canoeing and kayaking. Catch a Canoe on the 1 just outside of Mendocino city, seemed perfect for this as they have kayaks, outriggers which can’t be tipped, as well as Canine Cruisers.…
The first part of our trip, we decided that we wanted to see some of Route 66 and camp at the Grand Canyon. This combined two of my favorite hobbies : Photographing old signs, and camping with my dog Chico. There are probably way too many photos in this post lol. The first night we…
Earlier this year we decided to go for the infamous Murietta Falls hike in the Ohlone Wilderness, even though it was kinda late in the season for this hike. We went in mid May, and it was already pretty hot on some days in Livermore, we knew that if we waited any longer that the…
Right after the 4th of July weekend I took a last minute camping/hiking trip to The Eldorado National Forest Area. When I say last minute, I mean, woke up that day and decided to go…and was on the road in 30 minutes. So this was a half assed camping trip I suppose. Not knowing the…
We have a few camping trips, as well as a couple new Day Hikes to write about : Ohlone Wilderness Trail to Murietta Falls, Elderado National Forest, Desolation Wilderness, Mendocino Coast, to name a few. We are even more behind than usual, because like something out of a comedy, I slow motion slid into a…
Just wanted to take a quick minute to give a little review and to say that we love the Ruffwear Swamp Cooler, as we know many of you are looking for Cooling Coats and Cooling Vests. We will write a full review after testing a couple more things…like playing fetch in it! I was skeptical…
Uvas Canyon County Park is a great little place, and only about 1 hr 15 mins from Oakland. Far enough to get away, but close enough to do it on a whim! Dog friendly camping and hiking trails, mostly shady, and yes, the famous Waterfall Loop! “This lushly wooded park of 1,133 acres, is nestled…
