Colorado Rocky Mountain High!

Video by Scott & Ren

Life has been moving so quickly for Scott and me, but it has brought some wonderful things our way over the past year. Since our last video was over a year ago, we thought we would give you an update on what has been going on. Also, it gets us back into the routine of creating videos for you all.

Chasing Arkansas Waterfalls

Video by Scott & Ren

One of the places we love to visit in Arkansas is the Ouachita National Forest where you will find the Ouachita Mountains. Granted these are not the type of mountains you find in the Rocky Mountain, Great Pyrenees, or the Andies, but they are mountains to us and one of our favorite places. We have often found ourselves thinking about living within the area, but there is still so much more to visit so we must not stop here! On this trip, we decided to specifically find as many waterfalls as we could. We found four of the named waterfalls and plenty of little cascades that are found all throughout the area.

The Pawhuska Swining Bridge

Video by Scott & Ren

You may know about the Pawhuska, Oklahoma, because the famous Pioneer Woman, but did you know there is so much more to the town than just her Mercantile and Lodge? There is so much amazing history in that place. Osage County is the place where the Osage Nation purchased land and became the richest Native American Community in the United States. It is also here you will find one of the few swinging bridges in Oklahoma.

Keystone Ancient Forest

Video by Scott & Ren

The 2018 fall colors are happening early in 2018 and we decided a hike in the Keystone Ancient Forest near Sand Springs, Oklahoma, in Osage County, was a good way to view it. This 1,300-acre nature preserve is filled with ancient trees that range from 300-500 years old. Here you can see what the Osage/Flint Hills area looked like before civilization took over.

Orange Barrels

How many times have you been on a trip and there is so much construction that all you want to do is kick one of the orange barrels forcing you over to one lane?  Scott and I have been in this situation so many times and I have decided it must be Oklahoma’s state tree.  Our friend Interstate 411 sent us this video and we just had to share it with you all.  Cracked me up!  The song is Orange Barrels by Orange Barrels by Heywood Banks of the Bob & Tom Show.  Enjoy!

Turtledog Hammock Stands DIY

Video by Ren of Stitch’n Travel.

I hate tent camping so Scott decided we needed to try out hammock camping. Unfortunately, many state and national parks do not allow you to attach your hammock to trees. Plus there are many parks that do not have any trees to attach your hammock to. So, what are we supposed to do? Scott found hammock stands at a big box outdoor store but did not like the price so he decided to find out how to build some.

Living on Tulsa Time

Video by Ren of Stitch’n Travel.

Much like the lyrics from David Bowie’s song Changes, Scott and I are definitely getting older and finding ourselves having to make changes. But we have found that we are not the only ones, Tulsa has changed as well. No longer is it the same city we once desperately tried to escape, but it is a place where we can find culture, friendship, and a home.

And Now For Something Completely Different

Video by Ren of Stitch’n Travel.

Scott and I have taken so many videos, but not much of it gets up on our YouTube channel. We are finding out that when you take hours and hours of video, there is bound to be many outtakes. These are some of the ones we have collected over the past year. Please enjoy and have a giggle on us!

Drive Oklahoma 412

Video by Interstate 411 & Stitch’n Travel

Drive America’s Highways for 34 miles east along US-412 Alternate from Locust Grove to Kansas in Oklahoma. We start the video following US-412 east just before the junction with the Cherokee Turnpike and US-412 Alternate. Turning left at the fork, we merge onto U.S. Highway 412 Alternate (formerly Scenic 412) where we pass through the community of Sams Corner before reaching Locust Grove and the intersection with OK-82.

Post Travel Depression

Do you find yourself sad after a vacation? Are you angry because you have to go in to an office after spending a week out among the giant Redwood? Do you feel sick as you think about the daily mind numbing chores you had to come back to after a six day visit to an exotic beach? If so, you are one of the many who suffer from Post Travel Depression. Here is how you deal with it.
