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…
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…
I have been on this odd quest to camp in as many national parks as I can with my dog Chico. It was the tail end of winter for us, the month of March, and we had cabin fever. I missed camping so much! But where to go? It was still snowing in Tahoe and…
Finally Made it to North Table Mountain Ecological Reserve! I have been wanting to go here for a year now, mostly to catch the wildflowers, but every time I looked at the weather it was 90 degrees, even this week in Mid May the window was small, it was 75 today, but projected to be 86…
The coastline from Little River just outside of Mendocino to Fort Bragg/ MacKerricher State Park is amazingly beautiful, and for the most part dogs are allowed on all coastal trails, some beaches, and most of these areas are free with parking and restrooms. Most of the areas are shorter 1 to 2 mile loops or…
Got back a few days ago from our wonderful camping road trip! Did you know most National Parks allow you to camp with your dog at developed campgrounds? We camped at Grand Canyon, and Rocky Mountain National Park. At Grand Canyon dogs are allowed on all top side trails, but not into the canyon…which is fine…
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…
