California Road Trip: El Dorado, Tuolumne, and Mono Counties

Alisha McDarris — Thu, 20 Oct 2022 23:37:57 +0000

We all know California is practically made for road trips, right? I mean, the coastlines, the mountains, the national parks! But the coastal highway gets all the love (for good reason; we've driven it ourselves). So we set out to explore a bit more of the state on an inland Northern California road trip for the ages. And trust us when we say there's plenty of adventure to be had.

We grew up in Ohio. So it may come as a surprise that neither of us spent much time in Michigan growing up (for those of you who haven't looked at a map in a while, the states share a small border). So when we got the opportunity to take a socially distant road trip this summer (we love road trips!) filled with plenty of camping, stunning hikes, brilliant night skies, and very cold lakes, we thought, Why not? So we packed the car and set out on one very impromptu and outdoorsy Michigan road trip. Here are the deets so you can recreate it if you feel so inclined.

Road Trip Essentials – What to Pack For an Epic Road Trip

Alisha McDarris — Thu, 20 Aug 2020 20:50:53 +0000

A lot of travel plans got canceled this year. International travel is largely off-limits and most people aren't too keen on the idea of flying across the country, either. So naturally, a lot of folks are shifting travel plans to include road trips. And while we can't in good conscience recommend you embark upon "The Great American Roadtrip" this year, a close-to-home jaunt may be an acceptable alternative (as long as you do it safely and responsibly). But driving across the country or across the state still comes with its own set of complications (even if you don't require a passport), so we're gonna break it down. Here's a solid list of road trip essentials that we've compiled based on years of experience (and more than a few flat tires and empty peanut butter jars) and an assumption that you, as we do, will be avoiding crowded hotels in lieu of socially distant campsites this year.
