the kid project 
If you are not familiar with Wall Street / Potash Rd in Moab, UT just know that you cannot find routes with a shorter approach. You drive up, you toss out your gear, you jump on the rock. Easy. Today I want to highlight one area for kids – The Schoolroom Slabs Directions: Take Potash Road…
This has got to be up there my list of favorite places to camp. OK, after sitting here for a moment , I can actually think of no other place I like camping more. Now maybe I just haven’t experienced enough all-America-camping. But that has got to count for something, right? Directions: Sand Flats is located…
Honestly, looking at the map of Arches National Park last week, deciding on what to hike, I was a little torn. Why? Cause one of my favorite hikes is to Delicate Arch, the same arch we tote around on our Utah licence plate. That one-and-the-same iconic landmark of sandstone. I love Arches, but the remote,…
Moab, UT. For me it is a little slice of heaven. Funny though…we went there many times during college and nearly every trip became epic in someway. Things just always seemed to go wrong – running out of water while backpacking, cold nights, injuries from biking… And yet we always go back and we always…
Why, Why, Why?! Honestly, I am sitting down this morning, with a warm cup of coffee and thinking, why do we do trip reports? Bragging, rights? One giant leap into the cyber-world, hoping someone acknowledges our existence and proves our lives valid? Why do I read trip reports? Well, honestly, I don’t [very often]. If…
Our Moab trip report is coming soon. Well…I think so . Honestly, right now I am laid up with a very unhappy back. And life is sort of eating away at us. So here is a visual peek at our insane camping trip with 16 adults, 14 kids ages 5 and under, and 2 dogs….

Happy Easter everyone! We are headed down to Moab but I figured I would leave you with this…oh and a tip to keep stopping by this week cause we have a guest blogger on board while we are out playing in the sun. Honestly, I don’t really like the whole “chain letter” thing. You know,…
Pretty much the title says it all! Las Vegas is its own kind of place, with its own kind of rules. The little white words on the PINK truck? “Experience the natural side of Vegas.” Or for instance, when we were looking for fun pools and they said females over 21 years old were free…
To all who are wondering…Yes, the rocks are really red in Red Rock Canyon, NV. My kids were thrilled. Chris once said, “Don’t ever ask me to go to Vegas, cause I won’t.” The flashy lights, questionable everything, and quantity of cement and people – all of it stressed him out. And to be honest,…

Climbing some fun and awesome routes in Red Rocks, NV. Hanging with some GREAT friends in Moab, UT and adventuring for the…
