United States of America

See America First

In keeping with the popular slogan of the early 1900s US National Park Service campaign, we have chosen to “See America First.” We have visited more than half of the United States in the last year.

Let Me Break It Down For You

It's hard to consolidate the attractions of a country spanning 3,531,905 square miles. It has prolonged coastlines along the Atlantic and Pacific. It is bisected by the Appalachian, Rocky, and Sierra Nevada mountain ranges. It rises to the arctic circle in Alaska and flirts with the equator in Hawaii. And while I may attempt to draw broad generalizations from our years of exploration, perhaps you may want to delve deeper into a single state.

Boondocking

12 destinations

Boondocking or "free camping" is staying over night in informal campsites such as undeveloped campgrounds, parking lots, or driveways.  This can mean drastically different camping styles depending on the individual.  We have had our share of secluded nights in the wilderness and noisy truck stops.  The common thread through all of these? We didn't pay a cent for the site.

Hiking

24 destinations

We are dedicated hikers.  Trails offer a unique opportunity to engage with a new region's environment. Whenever we have a lull in our travels, we are on the eye for a trail.

Overlanding

Paddling

2 destinations

Rafting, kayaking, canoeing, SUPs, and more—we love paddling lakes and rivers any way we can.  While our nomadic lifestyle makes owning a boat impractical, inflatable watercraft have opened up the waterways of America in ways we hadn't even considered.  Today, not only can we drive up to marina or some other public launch point, but we can bike, hike, and off-road  to remote put in points for some backcountry paddling.  Don't just learn about paddling destinations but how to expand your paddling experiences with pack rafting, bike rafting, and other ways to push the limits of water-sports.
