(Podcast) The Loneliest Highway in America Across Nevada’s Great Basin - Don’t Miss This!

Season 1 Episode 12: We’re diving into and across Nevada on “America’s Loneliest Road.” AAA was once quoted as saying, “we warn all motorists not to drive there, unless they’re confident of their survival skills.” So, let’s go! We find long stretches, lots of mountain passes, great camping, history, petroglyphs, incredible stars, and even some ties back to our home state of Missouri.

In this episode we definitely geek out on the history, and we find a wonderful reprieve camping at Hickison Petroglyph Recreation Area (BLM) after the busy bustle of Lake Tahoe. Taking time and soaking in the frontier of US-50, “The Backbone of America,” lets a visitor come away with much more than a badge of “I drove that”: there’s a whole other way of life and rootedness to the people, places, and wildness that exists along the way.

We hope you enjoy this episode. Please share it and comment if you do! We’ve also been updating and adding to our website — come check it out. Thank you again; we really appreciate you listening!

(Podcast) Misadventures in Tahoe, CA-NV

Season 1, Episode 11.

Tahoe Misadventures. Well, nothing like arriving in an area and nearly leaving your mark on the landscape… literally! Be careful driving with your RV in the Tahoe area, and remember: if you are coming from the West/North, go clockwise around the lake and save the pretty scenery for a time when you are not pulling a trailer.

There are a lot of great campgrounds in the Tahoe area, and with a little planning ahead you can stay at one of the stunning State Parks that surround the south side of the lake. Or if you are looking to be closer to the action, you can even find some great spots in town to set up camp.

Whether you are looking for food, gambling, outdoor adventures, or just stunning scenery, the Lake Tahoe area can give you memories that will last a lifetime. There is a reason this has been one of America’s Playgrounds for more than 150 years! Ever since the Gold Rush, Americans have been coming here in search of escape and exciting adventures.

Advice we would give when visiting Tahoe… Enjoy!! AND DON’T GO THE WRONG WAY AROUND THE LAKE!!

(Podcast) Great Basin National Park: Wild, Beautiful, and FREE

Great Basin National Park needs to be on your must-see list. It is stunning, diverse, remote, and free to visit!

So much history and raw beauty that this episode went way longer than we thought!

This was our first cold camping experience this season, in September, and we learned that our memory foam mattress doesn’t like the cold. From hiking to high alpine lakes to learning about some of the oldest living things on this planet, you can find it all at Great Basin National Park! It’s hard to emphasize how incredible this place is — enjoy.
