Raise the question askers.
Meet the Roam School Family.
Cy and Erika met in San Francisco, raised Big and Little there, then moved north to a Portland suburb. They're on sabbatical from leadership roles in tech. There's a small window, a few years where the four of us can do this together before it costs Big and Little something, and we're spending it on the road.
We're four people in a vehicle, working our way through the 63 U.S. national parks and the country between them. Big does math at the picnic table in the morning. Little is on a "draw what you see" rotation that has produced, to date, eleven bison and one ranger's hat. Erika keeps the rig running. Cy writes.
Right now we're working north. Desert behind us, the Cascades ahead.

Listen.
A new episode on each park, the week we roll out of it.
Headed our way?
We're working north toward Glacier, Grand Teton, Yellowstone, and Theodore Roosevelt, none of them stamped yet. If you've been, tell us what not to miss: trails, timing, where the kids should look up.
Lately.

The morning the eagle had breakfast
A week around the Olympic loop on US 101: lavender in Sequim, a crab boil at Lake Crescent, an eagle hunting off a Makah beach, and a six-mile walk up the Hoh to look for one square inch of silence.

Three parks in one: alpine ridge, rain forest, and wild Pacific coast, hours apart on the US 101 loop.
