Now the story of a couple who wanted to see every U.S. national park, ​and the one cat who had no choice but to go with them.

Hello! We’re Jason and Kristine, and after 8.5 years in Los Angeles County, we quit our jobs, shoved our belongings into storage, and hit the road in a truck and travel trailer. We’re heading across the United States and parts of Canada in the hopes of seeing as many national parks as possible. And we’re bringing our opinionated feline, Catsby, along for the ride.

As we go, we’ll also search for the next place we’ll call home. We’ll write ratings and reviews about the places we visit, and we’ll share stories from life on the road. In the meantime, “home” will be the three things we need to have a good time: our truck, our trailer, and our cat.


Our Story

To learn more about how we came to embark on our Big Trip, check out these posts:


Meet the Truck · Trailer · Cat Crew!

The Truck is a Ford F-150 XLT PowerBoost, lovingly named Steve.

The Trailer is an Outdoors RV Timber Ridge 22FQS named Holt. (Yes, our rig is named Steve Holt. Any Arrested Development fans out there?)

The Cat is a stray Snowshoe who stumbled into our lives in 2014. We named her Catsby, which led her to consider running away, but she decided to stay because these humans offered food and cuddles. Catsby has what most people would call a “strong personality,” but she’s taken to life on the road quite well.
