There are a lot of great Federal and State campgrounds throughout the state so there was no shortage of options.  We ended up picking the Green River Campground in Dinosaur National Monument. The campground is located right along the Green River and is tucked away below the main road.  Several Cottonwood trees are located throughout the campground offering the…

One year ago today, we started down a new path that has totally changed what we do as a family on any given weekend. We went from camping 1 time in 6 years to just having completed our 14th in the last year. We have traveled over 1700 miles with our trailer and visited places that we didn’t even knew existed. When we were working through the process of purchasing our trailer, people kept talking about investing in life long…
