Blake’s Lotaburger: An Underdog Story

Ask anyone what the best regional burger chain is and you’ll likely hear about In-N-Out, Whataburger, Culvers, and the occasional Jack in the Box. But as our friends from New Mexico can tell you, there is another contender here that punches well above its weight.

Big Bend is one one of those places you need to experience to believe. Pictures simply can’t capture the grand scale of the park or the unique landscapes, canyons, trails, and vistas it contains.

We’ve finally entered the great state of Texas. Of course, one of our first priorities here after visiting some of our amazing friends in Houston and Austin was to grab a staple of the Texas/Southwest culinary experience. I speak, of course, of Whataburger.

Day 9: To The Keys!

You really can’t find a better place to go in February than the Florida Keys. We decided to leave the van behind for a day and rented a car to drive down HWY 1. Great food, sun, beautiful parks, boats, and even more great food.

Day 7: Biscayne National Park

National Park #3

When people talk about National Parks in Florida, Biscayne is often overlooked compared to the flashier Everglades or Dry Tortugas. It shouldn’t be. There’s an incredible amount of history and wildlife here, and any place where you need a boat to get to will rank highly on our list.

Day 1: And We’re Off…

A few months ago we came up with a crazy idea: travel around the country in a campervan visiting National Parks, eating fun local foods, and seeing all kinds of fun things along the way. Months (and a lot of planning) later, we’re headed out on an 8-week adventure that will take us to 30 National Parks and span 8,000 miles.
