Hello friend! Welcome to our tent camping journey!
We are MK and TJ, a husband and wife team from central Arkansas on a mission to tent camp in all fifty US states. We’ve dreamed up many travel plans and have always talked about going to every state, but until now, a road trip across America was just a dream. Since 2020 seemed to be the year for new things, we decided that it was the best time to start this crazy journey tent camping across America!
When we set this goal, we also committed ourselves to documenting our experiences through film. After returning from our honeymoon in 2019 with hardly any pictures and video, we knew that we had to be intentional in capturing our future travels.
We are beyond excited to learn all about our home country and we are thankful for everyone who is traveling with us through this page. Thank you for following along!:)

The special taste of Dutch licorice is the use of Salmiak, which is ammoniumchloride (NH4Cl), a salt like normal tablesalt sodiumchloride (NaCl) but with a distinct taste.
Typical cafetaria lunches in the Netherlands are een broodje kroket, two slices of bread with two croquettes, the bread can be white or brown bread served with a very small 'salad' and mustard, een broodje bal met jus, much like the kroket, the jus (gravy) is best served on the side for dipping the bread in it, and een uitsmijter(bouncer): fried eggs with cheese or ham or both on bread.
@@MKandTJ No, I meant an old fashioned lunchroom or a café , truckerscafé or some typical road restaurants as AC Restaurant and Van der Valk: any non fancy place where lunch is served. It is the Dutch standard that existed before the Snackbar, McDonalds or modern Febo.
During WW2, the USS Drum completed 14 war patrols. She sank 15 Japanese ships for a total weight of 80,580 tons, ranking her number 8 on the list of top ten highest scoring US submarines of the war.
Most people don't know that at the end of the war, the japanese coast was shelled by several US and UK battleships. The USS Alabama was one of the battleships in those operations.
Huh! I've lived here for 6 years and my wife's been here 13 years and neither of us heard of the Funky Twig. We'll have to go sometime. And it's funny because while you were shopping at Hart's, we saw two of our friends just randomly in your video. Glad you came to our little town. Diversity is our main goal here. We are 95% all friendly and close, and the other 5% don't stick around too long. I live on the Historic Loop and all of our neighbors are all real close. Occasionally, we will have a little get together. We own two pot bellied pigs that people stop by to see often. I am the local DJ at KESA FM afternoons and we hope all hope you come back to Eureka, especially during our many outdoor festivals and parades. Great video. Thanks for sharing
The 1st crawfish you pulled apart had a large black strand hanging. You want to make sure that is removed from the pice you are eating. It is the intestine and full of not so nice stuff.
Love Mountain View! We were roaming around the square one night after 10 going back to the hotel when we stumbled across a group playing in a parking lot by the public restrooms. They were the best and played for us (and a few others) until close to 1am. Best night ever! The Rainbow Cafe has really good food all the time and Anglers is great out on the river. The wing shack (don't know its real name) by the Walmart has the hottest wings on earth. My husband choked down about three of them before admitting defeat. And the ice cream at that little shack by the music store is a must have on every visit.
When in Leadville, the best resturant for me is Casa Sanchez Mexican Resturant. My wife and I are on a conquest to find a Mexican restaurant that compares to our local Ohio one, El Campesinos in Wooster, but Casa Sanchez is close! Love it!
If you were to take the rainfly off, can you easily see the stars through the mesh at the top? Or would the tents with the complete mesh interior be better in your opinion?
Excellent question! If we took the fly off we would be able to see the stars. However, because this tent is technically a 4-season, there is less mesh than what you might want for sleeping with the fly off. Your field of view is basically the sky only rather than the sky and your surroundings. Hope that helps :)

Hi, we arrive at Heathrow for 7 hour layover and want to do the same, a very quick walk through. We considered just getting to St. James Park and maybe see things from there but aren’t sure. Do you know how we’d get to where you went? Heathrow express to Westminster? Or is it Heathrow Express to Paddington then to Westminster? How long was the walk to Buckingham Palace from where you were? Where do we go to get back on a train to Heathrow. Any advice would be so so helpful
I hope I’m not too late in replying! You might have to take a different train from Kings Cross- it was about a 15 min walk to the palace from the station. Maybe less if you walk fast. Totally worth it!!
