On today’s episode, we’re recording from a National Park no one’s heard of – talking about the pros and cons of taking the road less traveled.

Here’s what we covered:

• What the heck is Lassen Volcanic National Park?
• Our favorite National Park experiences so far (we’ve visited 8 this year on our road trip!)
• Downsides to being off the beaten path
• The unconventional habits we have with our finances + our food prep
• The most inconvenient part of RV life we’ve experienced
• Our favorite (and not so favorite) parts of forging our own career paths

Fact checking: Last year, the US was celebrating 100 years of the National Park Service, but the first National Park (Yellowstone) was established in 1872 – which was 145 years ago. Canada’s first National Park (Banff) was established in 1885. Thank you, Google!
