It’s a rainy day here in Phoenix. It feels like a good day to sit down and write again. I kind of lost my mojo for a while, but I am hoping it’s coming back! I guess a life update is due for those that don’t follow me on Instagram or Facebook and then some… Continue reading Life Update and News to Share…
It’s 7:30 am when I finally decide to emerge from the tent. Gannon barely slept (as usual) and has been up for a couple of hours. He has started my water boiling and I proceed to make some pour-over coffee. We have converted to pour-over in the RV, so when I found some disposable pre-made… Continue reading Lake of the Woods: Day 2

Jack hasn’t had a bath in a very long time and… Continue reading Life Update: Living Full-time in a RV During a Pandemic
It’s the memories that matter. Not the stuff. Painting over the growth chart on the wall was a huge step for me, and I did that myself as a way to help let go of this current season of life. My home is becoming just a house.
Starting out at Agnew Meadows or going to Thousand Island Lake was no new hike for us, but taking the River trail was something new. Two years ago when we hiked from Mammoth to Yosemite, we took the PCT/ High Trail out of Agnew Meadows over to Thousand Island Lake. But this time, I was… Continue reading Day 1: Agnew Meadows to Thousand Island Lake via the River Trail
Sun's out, top down! I've been taking a break from writing on the blog for a while, but Gannon and I are still traveling and finding new adventures. When it's the right time to write, I'll be back, but in the mean time, follow me on Instagram to see what we're up to! https://www.instagram.com/hikingholly/
