We aren't always at one of the most beautiful national parks in the US. In fact, we spend most of our weekdays at campgrounds so Jordan can work and the girls can get their more traditional homeschooling accomplished. Whether we are out in the wilderness or at the campground, our bikes always come with us; they're an integral part of our day-to-day. The rack attachment holding Jesse's bike got permanently loosened up and we spent a stupid amount of time trying everything to fix it when we stopped on the trails. We're on the lookout for a new solution - any recommendations? ​​​​​​​​

Feeling high on life before Old Ore Road got rough with us. The biggest bummer on this trip was the number of tire tracks we saw OFF the trail. This photo is my response to them. Stay on the road folks, if you want to keep the right to drive them.

As full-timers, one of the best purchases we made was our discada from Southwest Disk. Not only does it allow us to cook epic meals for our family of 4, it's the perfect way to appreciate the view from... Paint Gap 4.​​​​​​​​

On our first night at Big Bend, we couldn't grab a spot on the trail, so we conquered Old Ore Rd. and then jumped onto the main road to arrive at Paint Gap 4; arguably one of the most epic backcountry spots in the park.​​​​​​​​

These Mickey Thompson Baja Bosses have gotten us over 8,500 miles across the U.S. over the last 6 months. From pavement, to forest, to desert, they're the most capable tires we've put on our old beast. ​​​​​​​​

Repost from the wife,

This is a love letter to the imperfect but dependable old truck carrying us safely from place to place.

This weekend we finally made it out to the wilderness so we could bring her off-road and across the desert of .
We ran over 80 miles of trails, witnessed views of the park so many people miss out on, and spent time disconnected from the rest of the world and reconnected with each other.

This truck needs new bumpers, plenty of bodywork, a new tail light (as you can see in this photo), and the fuel injection pump (or something - I am a little limited on the mechanical stuff, lol) replaced, but she's come a long way since sitting in the front yard of our house on the very busy road for 6 years, embarrassing me to no end, haha.

With the help of friends, family, and even an ex, we got her back up and running and she's taken us over 8,500 miles through all weather and all terrain.

She's rocked my babies to sleep on long travel days and held space for meaningful conversations between Jesse and me.

She's driven us through 5 Harry Potter books on and interesting stories on .

Her make for a comfortable drive and our tent she carries allows us to ditch the camper on weekends.

This truck was an exciting post-deployment purchase for Jesse back in 2008, was a staple of our road-tripping summer together in Alaska, and brought us from AK to CT over 9 days in the middle of winter as we solidified our future together. We settled down to buy a house and have kids, and that poor truck just sat, waiting patiently to be fixed up, so she could bring us on adventures again.

I sometimes feel guilty that we ditched her
for so long in exchange for kids and housework and life, but she's like a giving tree... a steadfast figure, always waiting patiently for us without bitterness.

She's not like all the pretty tow rigs we so often see, but she also tends to earn us envious comments from people who know what an old can accomplish.
