I love when nomadic serendipity takes us to experiences that we couldn’t even imagine a day prior.  While driving northward towards St. Louis, we decided to route through Arkansas up scenic byway 7.  This put us overnighting around Hot Springs, Arkansas.  We looked around, and discovered there was a national park and campground, so that [...]

We got an e-mail from Bill Bivin, one of the moderators from Dell over at Digital Nomads, asking us if we would be interested in submitting a guest post about our Camp Nomadia theme camp at Burning Man. As we also happened to be in Austin at the time, we made arrangements to meet [...]

Video Edition: Rock Climbing in Austin, Texas

9 June 2009

1 Comment

I grew up in South Austin, not too far from the Barton Creek Greenbelt. In fact, we could hike to it from our house. It was a wonderful place to grow up and be out in nature, but yet part of a progressive urban city. My brother still lives in Austin, so it’s a frequent destination [...]

Cherie had visited Carlsbad Caverns in the mid-80s with her family on a road trip, and Chris had never been. We considered it a must stop on this journey across the country. It was even more impressive than Cherie had remembered. Direct link for the video

On our way into Carlsbad Caverns, we opted to route through White Sands National Monument in southeast New Mexico, expecting it to be a quick stop. We thought at first.. how interesting can sand dunes be? Afterall, I lived on the coast of Florida for 13 years – I’ve seen my share of [...]

Taking the backroads not only avoids a lot of traffic, but it also takes you to spots you might not otherwise encounter. Looking for a spot to stop to make a sandwich for lunch during our journey south through New Mexico, we saw signs for the Gran Quivira Ruins, which are part of the San [...]

Video Edition: Old Route 66 Gravel Road

Much of our time in Arizona and New Mexico was spent following Historic Route 66, where you could occasionally see both the newer I-40 and slight remnants of the Old Route 66 off to the side. Somewhere outside of Albuquerque we were following signs to stay on Historic Route 66, and quickly found [...]

Video Edition: Petrified Forest National Park

Continuing eastward following Route 66 through Arizona, we arrived at the Petrified Forest National Park (it’s difficult to not type that as Petrified National Forest!) just before closing at sunset. We were able to take a drive through the park, but not too much stopping. It’s an amazing display of nature’s beauty and the [...]

On our continued adventure eastward through Arizona following Route 66, we made a lunch stop at Walnut Canyon National Monument, where we hiked down a lot of steps to view the cliffside ruin dwellings of the Sinaqua people. It was a beautiful hike, the only catch being – what goes down, must come up! Our video [...]
