    Operation Backyard Discovery

    Sorry we are not posting much information on the pictures, and the places we have been. We have been living in the moment and being on the internet has been the last thing on our minds. I hope the pictures motivate those at home to hit the Open Road. The adventure continues

    Is always fun picking up a place to sleep at nights. Just find a dirt road, drive down it and park it. 9+ miles of Down hill ride to the Valley. I had to

    1/21/15 We made it to Yosemite National Park. We had a wonderful time hiking and meeting new people. We spent the evening sharing stories about our travels with a couple from Spain who had been on the road for a month. It’s these experiences and interactions that make the” road” worth every mile.

    Operation Backyard Discovery

    1/18/15 After driving through the Red Woods we decided to head inland away from the coastal rain. We spent the night next to a river in Six Rivers National Forest. When I say next to, I mean the dried up portion of the river bed. It was beautiful but raining. It was the first time we felt off...

    1/15/2015 We are in California! Riding through the Redwoods is always breathtaking and humbling. Today was no different. We hiked just a little by a beautiful vivid blue river. At a point, there was an old rope swing over the clear water. It made for a beautiful picture. We saw "Big Tree" again...

    Operation Backyard Discovery

    1/14/15 To share a less than beautiful moment on the road let us be candid. We were about an hour outside of California at the Oregon caves. We failed to read in our guide book that the caves were closed for the season. We were disappointed. At the time we got there it was dark so we decided to...

    We hiked the beautiful Eagle Creek trail in OR yesterday. We went all the way to Tunnel Falls. It ended up being about 14 miles round trip. There are so many amazing landscape photos we could share with you of this hike, but we tried to narrow it down to the highlights. We also wanted to show...

    Yes we are still in the area, sticking around until our last car sells. Like a good friend of mine said, "You could be 'held up' in much worse places in the world than the Gorge."

    01/07/2015 Thank you all for the support and good wishes. We spent the night up in the mountains outside of Hood River. As we parked our e-brake snapped. After figuring out where and how, then rigging some old-school emergency breaks via rocks, we decided to take showers and call it a night...

    Operation Backyard Discovery

    Got to spend the day on part of the Oregon Trail. It was a good test run for the truck and our set up. Extremely happy with how everything is turning out. It is wonderful to have a wife that while you enjoy a day on the trail, she enjoyed the day doing her nails. A little bumpy but they turned...
