The Nonsense of W&J

It’s amazing when we look back at our own videos and see ourselves doing adventures that we might never had tried in our 30s.  I had never dreamt about shark diving in my life.  But it was on my husband’s bucket list.  Now, I love shark diving!  To see sharks and other marine life swimming […]

It’s been awhile since I could think of anything to write.  We completed the Beet Harvest and have not been adventuring for several months now.  We started our blog to give ideas and tips to others for adventuring.  But, what happens when you aren’t adventuring?  What do you write about? We haven’t been adventuring for […]

We finally accomplished our childhood dreams of riding on a steam locomotive train, or choo-choo, to us, for short!  Months in advance we booked the Durango-Silverton Steam Train Ride in Colorado.  Originally, we booked the tickets for May.  However, after arriving in Colorado in late April, we were afraid the weather would be too cold […]

We have been dreaming of overseas travel for most of our life.  Traveling through the states of Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and Wyoming in the Summer of 2024 really enforced the idea of taking our adventures to the next level.  Now we know we are ready for more adventuring outside the continental U.S. 48 states.

No one ever said we were the sharpest knives in the drawer.  And traveling through Arizona in July and August supported this fact.  While planning our truck camping adventure for this year, we originally planned to visit Arizona, Utah, and Colorado while sleeping in the back of our truck.  We thought we would be more […]

Location Goblin Valley State Park is located in what looks like the middle of nowhere in Green River, Utah.  Not knowing what laid in store for us, we stopped by this remarkable state park while traveling from Moab, Utah to Capital Reef National Park. We learned about this small state park from a YouTube video […]

While visiting Sedona, Arizona we decided to hike to the Subway Cave.  You have probably seen gorgeous pictures of this split floor cave and its amazing views.  The pictures are correct.  The cave is gorgeous with scenic views, and you will be glad you visited it.  However, the hike to the cave and accessing the […]

Kanab, Utah is a magnificent place with many unique landscape features and very friendly people.  We boondocked in this area for several days after visiting the North Rim Grand Canyon.  We loved visiting Kanab and hearing the stories of relatives who starred in the Westerns filmed here.  The area is located in the center of […]
