Golden State Escapes

Exciting update from Golden State Escapes! 🚐🌲

Last month, we bought a 2022 Mean Bean from a wonderful couple in Iowa. It’s currently making its way to the Bean factory in Utah, where it’ll get a few custom upgrades before coming home to us at the end of July.

We’re adding:

A kids bunk (for Bogie, of course 🐶)

Hot water (because camping doesn’t have to mean cold showers)

And tweaking the awnings so it’ll fit perfectly in our garage.

This Bean trailer was actually what inspired us to start Golden State Escapes — it’ll let us explore not just California’s incredible parks and coastlines, but adventures beyond the Golden State too. Can’t wait to take you along for the ride!

Golden State Escapes

Welcome to Golden State Escapes, where two women and one big brown dog hit the road in our teardrop trailer to explore national parks, hidden trails, and all the unexpected moments in between. We’re here for the quiet mornings, the dusty trailheads, the stargazing, the camp burgers — and the real story of life on the road.

We’ll be sharing 60-second Shorts, hiking guides, camper upgrades, and Bogart’s take on it all. Subscribe, comment, and come along for the ride — it’s going to be an adventure.
