Hello!

Lisa and Paul

Road Tripping in America is a podcast about life on the road, brought to you by two restless souls, Lisa and Paul. We’re exploring the US in a pickup truck with a camper – we named our setup The Bobs.

If you daydream about long-term travel or overlanding or #vanlife – or maybe you’re already on your own adventure – join us every two to three weeks for some entertainment from the road. We’re in search of off-the-beaten-path adventures and new experiences after a year and a half of standing still. Read more on our blog, Driving Inertia.

And this is our ride…The Bobs

The smoky haze from the fires in the Sierra Nevadas really shrouded the views, but the air and weather on Telescope were perfect. We spent about 30 minutes alone on the summit with no breeze and about 70 degree temps - it doesn't get better than that! From this peak you can usually see the lowest and highest points in the lower 48 at the same time.

Affiliates

We earn a commission when you use these links, but you pay the same price.

Dometic: In the Bobs, one of our biggest luxuries is our Dometic refrigerator cooler. It keeps our food and drinks cold and we never need to buy ice. It’s a game changer. With our Dometic hooked up to our solar panel and battery, we can have cold beer for days. Our supply just doesn’t always last that long. Check out all the options at Dometic.com.

Backcountry.com: While preparing for our trip, Lisa needed a new backpack. She found one at Backcountry.com that was one and a half pounds lighter than her old backpacking pack and just $97 on sale. Backcountry has all the adventure gear you need. And there’s always something you need. First time customers get 15% off if you use our link and subscribe to their emails.

RockyMounts: We brought our mountain bikes on our adventure, and because our camper has a door in the back, a standard bike rack wouldn’t work. Luckily, RockyMounts makes the BackStage, a swing-away bike rack that swings 180 degrees to give full access to the back of a vehicle. Shop all of the great products from RockyMounts here.
