May 8, 2024

Our first night in the van at Eisenhower State Park Located right on the border of Texas and Oklahoma, right off Lake Texoma. What was suppose to be a quick day trip to hang out with my mom turned into our first night in the van! With nothing in it but an air mattress, we survived our first night. But not really that comfortably, our air mattress had a hole. LOL. About an hour and a half north of DFW, this is a pretty nice state park to visit. The park is filled with hiking trails and really nice campsites with clean bathrooms. We ended up doing a 3 mile hike that lead to a beautiful overlook. I would recommend everyone to check out this

No Trace Left Behind

No Trace Left Behind

October 15, 2023

Have you ever ventured into the wilderness, only to stumble trash, empty bottles, or sometimes grosser things? This is why we follow the “No Trace Left Behind” philosophy. This unspoken pact among nature lovers highlights the importance of leaving our outdoor playgrounds better than we found them. In a world where ecological consciousness is front and center, following this unwritten rule isn’t just admirable – it’s important.  “No Trace Left Behind” is an unwritten code of conduct that serves as a guiding principle for responsible outdoor activities. At its core, this concept embraces the idea that when we venture into natural environments, we should aim to leave absolutely no evidence of our presence. This means taking deliberate steps to minimize our impact on the environment.
