The theme of many of our weekend adventure trips had become all about Jeeping after getting our “new” wheels in June, so it was time to bring it back to the original, organic method of scoring gorgeous views — hoofin’ … Continue reading
After our Utah trip the weekend prior, we couldn’t wait to get back to the mountains and woodsy terrain of Colorado for the upcoming, extended Fourth of July weekend. Little did we know how much we would miss the quiet … Continue reading
In my last post, I explained how hubby and I took a big leap and purchased a Jeep that would fit our lifestyle/passion for exploring back country roads and scouting out the perfect campsite. Hubby was so excited about our … Continue reading
