About Us

This is a blog for Karen and Chuck Ulen.

After seven years of traveling around on our retirement, we thought it might be cool to start a blog and document our adventures just a little bit better.

In 2017, we acquired a Ford truck  and an XP Camper to help us explore more! So far are loving every minute!

Valley of the Gods

Most of you know that we keep track of the counties we have been in since our retirement started, by color, on a huge census map in our basement.  2011 counties were marked in pink, 2012 dark blue, 2013 light green, 2014 orange, 2015 purple, 2016 red, 2017 yellow, 2018 navy, 2019 dark green, 2020 light blue, 2021 peach and 2022 lavender.

2022 Map

We have also spent time in five Canadian Provinces, but I don’t have that map created yet…

So, follow us as we travel and share where we go; what we see!
