As we wrapped up our visit to New River Gorge National Park, we checked out a few more beautiful spots before hitting the road:

๐Ÿ›๏ธ Sandstone Visitor Center โ€” quick stop, but always fun to see the park info!
๐ŸŒŠ Sandstone Falls Overlook โ€” we didnโ€™t have time to drive all the way down, but the view from above was still gorgeous.
๐Ÿž๏ธ New River Overlook โ€” such a peaceful and scenic spot to take in another view of the river before heading out.

This park was definitely amazing. The views did not disappoint! ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ˜

U.S. Fun Fact ๐Ÿœ๏ธ

Utah has 5 National Parks and they're known as The Mighty 5! ๐Ÿ˜
Each one is packed with stunning scenery and unique landscapes that makes it amazing to travel through. ๐Ÿšโœจ

These are the 5:
๐Ÿž Arches National Park โ€“ Famous for over 2,000 natural sandstone arches.
๐ŸŒ„ Canyonlands National Park โ€“ Vast desert views and deep canyons.
๐Ÿงฑ Bryce Canyon National Park โ€“ Amazing rock spires called hoodoos.
๐ŸŒ… Zion National Park โ€“ Towering cliffs and jaw-dropping canyon views.
โ›ฐ Capitol Reef National Park โ€“ Red rock formations and amazing views.

We've been to all but Canyonlands. We'd planned to hit that park this last spring but it got hot earlier than we expected so we decided to save that for cooler weather when we could get out and enjoy it more.

While we were stopped at the Grandview overlook we decided to do the Tunnel hike. This was a beautiful hike through some really cool rocks, tunnels, and trees. The weather couldn't have been any better either so that was perfect!

Grandview visitor center in New River Gorge National Park was closed unfortunately but the viewpoint wasn't! And it was a beaut!

The river makes a horseshoe bend and the overlook of it was just breathtaking! Especially because of all the beautiful fall colors. I've already mentioned it but if you get a chance to visit this park in the fall, you will not be disappointed. ๐Ÿ‚ ๐Ÿ

๐Ÿ’›๐ŸŒŽ Happy World Kindness Day! ๐ŸŒŽ๐Ÿ’›

A little kindness can go a long way โ€” whether itโ€™s a conversation with someone you meet in a campground, or lending a hand to someone who needs help with something, or maybe even just showing patience on the road. ๐Ÿšโœจ

Travel has a beautiful way of reminding us that kindness connects us no matter where we come from. We've met so many people along our journey that have been so kind and made life a little better while we're with them. When we look back over those experiences they're some of our favorites from our travels.

So today, letโ€™s all spread a little extra kindness โ€” hold a door, say thank you, check in on a friend, or share a kind word online. ๐Ÿ’•

Whatโ€™s something kind someone has done for you lately?

U.S. Fun Fact ๐Ÿฆž

Maine is the only U.S. state that borders just one other state โ€” New Hampshire! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

A few more fun facts about the Pine Tree State:
๐ŸŒฒ Over 80% of Maine is covered in forest โ€” the most of any state in the U.S.
๐Ÿฆž It produces about 90% of the countryโ€™s lobster
๐ŸŒ… Itโ€™s also the first place in the U.S. to see the sunrise each day.

Between its beautiful coastline, lighthouses, and beautiful fall foliage, Maine is definitely worth the trip - especially in the fall! โค๏ธ

I didn't take a lot of pics here but we just happened across this campground as we were driving the scenic drive in New River Gorge National Park so we stopped in to check for rates/availability and decided to stay for the night.

We LOVED this place!!

Let me tell you, if we hadn't been on a schedule where we had to be on our way the next day we probably would have stayed for awhile. This place was awesome and we hope to go back one day.

James actually did some video and took a lot of pics so I think he's planning to do a review of the place and we'll share that with a lot more details. But if you're in the area, The Outpost Campground is a GREAT one! And the bathhouse - amazing! ;)

There is a little parking spot and trail along the scenic drive in New River Gorge National Park that goes across this pretty bridge and goes up to a super cool waterfall. We got out and explored that area a little as we did the drive and it was just gorgeous!

Welcome to World Dalmanation

Life is not meant to be lived full of regrets. That's the basis of our story and the reason we're about to take a huge leap into the unknown to pursue our dreams: Traveling the world full-time, while working from the road and experiencing life to the fullest.

It's not going to be easy. We aren't independently wealthy and don't have savings to live off of. All we have is a roadmap, an idea of how to make a living, and an insane passion to make it work. Yet we'd rather try and fail than to live with those regrets.

This website will chronicle our journey into the unknown and share our perspectives about life. It will be raw, honest, and no holds barred. We hope you'll join us for the ride of a lifetime.
