Hiking at Mastodon State Historic Site

Join us as we explore history at Missouri's Mastodon State Historic site! There are great hiking trails down to the quarry where the old mastodon bones were discovered!

We can't be camping EVERY weekend. At least not yet! We do love our Missouri State Park system and try to visit and support as much as we can. 
Recently we took a trip out to Mastodon State Historic Site in Jefferson County, near Imperial, MO. Katie's lesson plan for the week was dinosaurs and this was the closest match to support the lesson plan. Mal had a ton of fun looking at all the prehistoric animals and learning about the excavation and the difference between Mammoths and Mastodons. Spoiler: It isn't just that only one of them sounds like Ray Romano! 

There was a nice little hiking trail down to the bone bed where the the dig site was. Unfortunately the area flooding kept us from seeing that area, as well as the lower park which has more hiking trails and a giant playground. Hopefully we'll get back soon when the waters have receded and the area is recovered.

We are Katie and Scott, travelers, adventurers, seeking a life of full time RV living with our youngest kid and our crazy dog. Right now we're still at the planning stages, getting ready for fulltime RV life while our older kids finish up school and get settled on their own. 

We've started our lives over about 6 years ago, getting married and combining forces into the awesome family of 6 we have now! So in many ways we get to do everything all over again, this time with the benefit of being older and wiser. We plan to home school the little one as we go on the road full time for a few years, then find a place to settle down and call home. 

We're still trying to figure out what we're doing with this whole camping and RV life thing and you all get to join us as we learn how to organize our space and downsize all our junk. We're trying to embrace this minimalist lifestyle as well as learn how to use as these great camping and RV products that are out there. 

We put out weekly videos ranging from product reviews, RV tips and tricks, how to videos, 5th wheel and travel trailer tours, recipes and of course our RV family travel videos. We hope you''ll subscribe and join us each week!
