Where Travel and Learning Come Together
We packed up in the morning and headed toward Moab Utah. We knew the weather was about 10 degrees hotter in Moab than where we just were. We were looking forward spending a couple hours driving in the car so we could have air conditioning for a little while. We had read online that it’s…
In our two years of travel we have only stayed at one truck stop in our fifth wheel. We never stay places without at least partial hookups. We just aren’t really set up for it. But on our trip to Alaska in the summer house, we got used to not having many amenities and we…

Pinnacles has been a National Monument since 1908 and upgraded to National Park in 2013. It only takes one visit to…
