🥾 What do you get when you mix the hardest hike in the Badlands, a $20 shopping challenge at Wall Drug, Cold War history, and a bunch of hungry prairie dogs?

👉 One unforgettable adventure.

We pushed ourselves on the trail, cracked each other up hunting for quirky gifts, stood in awe at the Minuteman Missile site, and ended the day feeding some of the cutest locals in South Dakota. 🐾

This trip had a little bit of everything—tough climbs, laughs, history, and plenty of heart. Come along for the ride in our latest episode of Campfires & Motors.

From the rugged beauty outside Cody, Wyoming to the wild Big Horn National Forest, and a peaceful stay at Camp Barlow in Hulett, this adventure tested us like never before.

🌲🐂 Along the way, we went searching for wildlife in the Big Horns and came face-to-face with a massive bull moose—an unforgettable moment!

We’ll take you to the iconic Mormon Row and its famous John Moulton Barn, hike to stunning places like Delta Lake, and share tips on how to avoid the crowds while seeing the Tetons in a whole new way.

This week tested us in every way. First, a blown RV tire on the highway before we even made it to the campground. Then… another check engine light on the truck, which led to even bigger problems. 😬

But it wasn’t all bad—once we got back on track, we chased wild mustangs across the Wyoming plains, explored one of the last coal tipples in the U.S., found ancient petroglyphs, and even stumbled across a unique rock formation.

It was chaos, adventure, and everything in between… and it might just be our toughest travel week yet. 🛠🐎

📺 Watch now to see how it all played out!

Let us know about your wild road trip days in the comments.

🔥 NEW VIDEO! 🔥

Why did we do this to ourselves?! 😅
We took on the Manitou Incline—one of the steepest hikes in Colorado—with over 2,700 steps straight up and nearly 2,000 feet of elevation gain in less than a mile. This climb seriously tested us... but the views and the victory were totally worth it!

💪 Come cheer us on and see how this brutal trail fits into our full-time RV life journey.
