By Shelby This was our last week on the road. It feels pretty crazy that we’re done. We spent the beginning of the week working from a public library in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. I spent the days getting things set up with the apartment and my new job. The weather in Pennsylvania definitely felt colder than…

By Shelby This week was pretty slow. The weather was great, in the 70s and sunny all week in Asheville, North Carolina. For some reason, all the libraries were closed on Mondays in Asheville. We drove to a nearby town to work from their public library Monday. After work, we went to a local southern…

By Shelby This was a busy week for us. We were in 4 states: Mississippi, Tennessee (our last state), Georgia, and North Carolina. We started off the week in Olive Branch, Mississippi, which is 30 minutes from Memphis, Tennessee. Monday through Wednesday, we worked from the public library in Olive Branch. It was pretty nice.…

By Shelby This week had much warmer weather than last week. With the temperature in Kansas being in the 70s and sunny (warm enough for ice cream!), it was hard to believe we had been skiing in the mountains last week. Kansas is also home to Dodge City, which is the windiest city in the…

By Shelby We had a very adventurous week. After working from the vacation rental in Pagosa Springs Monday, we made a big dinner, taking advantage of the stove and oven.

Apparently, they drop explosives out of helicopters to cause avalanches to prevent them later on when cars are on the road. I had no…

By Shelby Sunday, we drove an hour and a half to Capitol Reef National Park. Since Capitol Reef is one of the least popular national parks in Utah, we hadn’t expected to have trouble finding parking. Surprisingly, the parking lot was full when we arrived and we had to wait a few minutes for someone…

By Shelby This was a busy week for us. After working at the local library Monday, we went to REI to get some new hiking things. We got micro spikes, I got new hiking boots and wool socks, and Spencer got new base layer pants. We expect the national parks in Utah to be pretty…

By Shelby We worked from our hotel room at the Nugget in Sparks, Nevada from Monday to Wednesday. We had a lot of leftover Chinese food that we ate for dinner. It was great to have a bathroom so easily accessible. We even checked out the pool and hot tub a couple times. Thursday morning…

By Shelby There was a big winter storm coming, so we decided to work Tuesday through Thursday instead and take Monday off to go to Yosemite National Park. Monday looked like the last nice day for a while to go there. Plus, it was also the last day before you start needing to get a…
