People in South Carolina and Florida probably thought we were out of our minds when we replied “mountain biking” after being asked why we were in South Carolina or Florida. The thing is though, that there’s awesome trails down there! Sure, no real mountains or anything like that but still…

For the second year in a row, Karin and I are heading to south for an easter mountain biking vacation. We haven’t quite decided where to go but North Carolina and Pisgah are definitely on the map – the trails there are awesome, some of the best in the country! Being in the blue ridge/smoky [...]

Long time, no see! Guess what? It’s time for me and Karins winter road trip again and this year, I think the destination furthest away from Pittsburgh will be Texas and Big Bend National Park. As you might remember, after we got our national park passports we sort of have to visit all of the [...]
Om man åker längs US-20 genom Iowa kommer man efter ett tag till rätt så tråkiga Nebraska eller till Rockwell City med sina 1981 invånare. Där har de en bilverkstad som har tusen gamla metall- och neonskyltar inne på kontoret. Så mycket mer är det inte men ganska bra ändå förutom att stället var stängt [...]
We’re back! 7589 miles (that’s 12750 kilometers) of road trip and total enjoyment :) So, during the next couple of days I hope to get some of the promised fixes done on the Swedish blog map.

US highway 2 is an amazing road, stretching all the way from the northwest to the northeast. The last two days has been all about the sky and the road straight ahead of us disappearing into endless fields and the horizon.
Driving through Montana and North Dakota might seem monotonous to some but it really isn’t. [...]
I bet a lot of people have walked into the same trap, thinking a passport which you get stamped as you visit the US national parks and monuments is pretty neat and ever so harmless. Well, I ask you to think again. Ever since Karin and I got our National Parks passes we’ve been caught [...]
When we hit asphalt after several hours of driving on a road designated as 4×4 high clearance only, it actually felt pretty damn good. Despite my persistence in proving the opposite, a rental Pontiac Grand Prix GT is unfortunately not much of an off-road recreational vehicle. However, we still managed to drive along the rim [...]
Instead of going north as planned, the owner of the motel we stayed at convinced us to continue south on the San Juan Skyway, parts of which is dubbed the million dollar highway because of all the gold and silver that was transported along it in the past. The name also makes a lot of [...]
