Getting Started

We created this blog so that our family and friends could follow along as we traveled the Western United States in a fifth-wheel travel trailer, which we affectionately call the TI.  We write about the national parks we visit, as well as the flora and fauna we encounter along the way.

We here also reflect on life untethered.  As two modestly ambitious farm kids who love to garden, build, renovate, cultivate, and just generally improve, the idea of being liberated from the responsibilities of a home with four walls and a foundation seems, well, liberating.  What might life be like if we concentrate on experiencing it, rather than chasing our tails, the Jones, or whatever project seems so damned important at the time?  Would it be richer, poorer, or just different?  Might we learn something that we could hold on to when we return to a more conventional lifestyle?  Will we return to a conventional lifestyle?  We’re out here trying to find out.

If you have ever wondered what it might be like to hop out of the squirrel cage, please follow along.  We will do our best to share what we learn, and maybe even inspire a few readers to set out on their own quests.
