Is Rocky Mountain National Park the Most Beautiful Place on Earth?
Driving through Rocky Mountain National Park is an exercise in self-control. Each curve reveals a new scenic overlook, or trailhead, or stunning opportunity to get out, take a picture and try to force your mind to accept what it’s seeing: towering peaks covered in snow but surrounded by a technicolor array of wildflowers. Moose, elk and deer peering at you through the woods, and air so crisp and thin you feel alive but, perhaps, also light-headed – and all at the same time.

My Full-Time Nomad Budget

He escaped from every prison they ever put him in,” he said, “’cept one.” That one was the Wyoming Territorial Prison. Continue reading “RV Travel Review: The Wyoming Territorial Prison”
Harvest Hosts Spotlight: Kraay’s Market & Garden
Nestled near the rolling hills of Sun Valley Idaho is a farm pulsing with life. The scent of rich, organic soil fills the air, lush produce of every kind unfurls and stretches towards the Western sun and happy, autumn-colored animals roam underfoot. Just beyond a teepee and flower garden sits a fairy-tale house with Arabian horses trotting nearby. As if all of this weren’t idyllic enough, out walk wonderful Larry and Sherry Kraay, the purveyors of Kraay’s Market & Garden. Continue reading “Harvest Hosts Spotlight: Kraay’s Market & Garden”
