Yellowstone National Park is a familiar name to most Americans, but unfortunately many people do not realize how beautiful it actually is. In fact, it is the first National Park to be established in the United States. Yellowstone is my favorite natural area I have seen during my travels. Every landscape is picturesque, with crystal [...]
Can odorless underwear really stand up to the test, or is it just a bunch of marketing hoopla?
Nick bought ExOfficio boxers before we began the trip, and I wasn’t too sure if this was a great idea, or the worst idea ever thought. Your boxers may not smell after camping for 2 weeks, but that [...]

Once at the visitor center on the south [...]
Fights happen. Despite our efforts to believe in ourselves as flawless beings, we’re only human. Nick and I have had our share of disputes over the past 2 and a half months of the trip. From where we set my mug to how much food to feed Domino, the fights are usually over nit-picky details [...]
There’s a pizzeria on 4th Street that’s making more than Brooklyn-style pies. Brooklyn Pizza Company is making it’s own electricity with over 46 solar panels on the building’s roof. The energy generated is large enough to run the restaurant’s power, including the coolers.
When you walk into Brooklyn Pizza Company, you are greeted by a flat [...]
