White Sands National Park
Feb 4th, 2025 White Sands National Park, New Mexico, was a place that made us grateful for our trip three times in the same day — we did not expect it to be so beautiful!! In the Dominican Republic, you have those stunning white sand beaches. Here at White Sands, there’s no water, but the…

Carlsbad Caverns
Feb 2nd – Feb 3rd, 2025 Carlsbad Caverns National Park was a recommendation from another Canadian that we met at the campground in Marfa, a retired professional photographer that visited Marfa once and ended up spending his winters there for the past 15 years.

Fort Anahuac Park
Jan 6-7th, 2025 After a couple of nights spent in two different places on the road, we got close to Houston, Texas. Since we weren’t planning to stay long this time, we decided to boondock at Fort Anahuac Park, just east of Houston. We arrived right before sunset and, to our surprise, had the entire…
