I’m going to Arches National Park alone for the hiking, camping, and exploring.
The introvert in me struggled, and I had some trouble along the way, but what a beautiful place!!! Always worth it!
❤️❤️❤️

I’m going to explore Utah and Canyonlands National Park.
After some time hiking around Pagosa Springs, Colorado, I make my way to Chimney Rock National Monument, camp BLM in Utah, and hike Canyonlands. I’m lucky enough to find a campsite inside the park, fix my van, and marvel at the beauty all around me.
Feeling blessed.
Next stop, Arches.
❤️❤️❤️

I’m Going Alone Dispersed Camping in Wyoming, then to Glendo State Park, Solo Exploring
Dispersed Camping in Wyoming… I fell in love with this place! Then, I made my way to Glendo State Park to hike and explore more of Wyoming.
I had trouble with cell service and internet, but I had fun testing how long I could go without a real shower.
I’ve never experienced quiet like I had while dispersed camping in Wyoming.
❤️❤️❤️

I’m going to explore North Dakota and Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
A rough storm, 3 days without a shower, uncooperative can opener, and having a hard time finding a place to sleep… but still loving every second.
I’m visiting the Capital, Salem Sue, Painted Canyon, and Theodore Roosevelt National Park.

Leaving Minnesota to explore North Dakota, a state I’ve never visited.
I stopped to visit family, then headed to my cousins for dinner and some driveway car camping. I couldn’t sleep, so I left in the middle of the night.
Great stops, only small troubles, and my love for van life traveling keeps growing.

I don’t want to leave Florida, but I need to get back to Colorado.
Leaving Florida, I visit Holly Hill Gnome Tree, and I block ticks on a hike in the woods at Devil Mill Hopper.
In Georgia, I have a hamburger at the original Chick-fil-A Dwarf House.
I try to stay cool while car camping in the summer heat and try to ditch the summer crowds.
I visit the World’s Largest Fork, the Mizumoto Japanese Stroll Garden, and the World’s Largest Small Appliance Museum in Missouri.
In Kansas, I return to Castle Rock Badlands and Monument Rocks… This time I learn how to see cleary… and I also realize how much I love my life, my van, and getting older.
Life is good. ❤️❤️❤️

New Smyrna Beach Again. I explored two more great places, and no rain! I walked the boardwalk at Smyrna Dunes Park – beautiful spot to walk and explore. Then I made my way to Canaveral National Seashore, where I walked another boardwalk that led to amazing views, I kicked off my shoes and walked the beach, and then I discovered a nude beach.
I’m always up for a challenge… but sometimes I fail. Or did I?

Introvert traveler in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, and conquering my fear of heights.
I made it to Cruger-dePeyster Sugar Mill Ruins, Old Fort Park, and I challenged myself at the Ponce de Leon Inlet Lighthouse.
Once the rain started, I made my way to Boondocks for a late lunch. The rain was off and on, but it kept coming.
I’m looking forward to part 2!
❤️❤️❤️

I’m vulnerable at the end of this one… On my road trip to Florida, I worked out in my van, a trucker gave me his shower, and I let the tick fears win and skipped hiking in the woods.
Still wanting to stay on track with fitness, I stopped at several rest stops to work on 10K steps.
I missed my exit for primitive camping and was too late to see Bonnie & Clyde Museum and the Duck Dynasty Duck Commander Museum. Besides the rainy weather, I also found out I had no place to stay in Florida.
As an introvert, I needed a little space at a rest stop, but it seemed people wanted to be close to me.
Sounds like I had a bad road trip, but it was wonderful. I love to just go with the flow…
❤️❤️❤️
