What an incredible trip! We camped on Santa Cruz Island which is part of the Channel Island National Park. The island is 20-ish miles off the Ventura, California's shorelines. We hike to Potato Harbor, Smuggler's Cove, learn about the Island Foxes, and so much more! This is our 10th National Park on our adventure to visit all 63!

Who Are We?
Hi y'all! We are Katie and Joey, two Coloradans who found their way home after 10+ years of traveling and working around the globe. We just finished converting our 2022 Ford Transit Van into our mobile home on wheels. We are now on a quest to see every US National Park. After that, we've got a lot more of the world to see but one step at a time!

What a beautiful place! My mom and I are doing just a day visit to the Santa Cruz Island in April. I can’t wait.

This is going on my bucket list. Thank you
I watched your pro and con video and it made me rethink what kind of Van I want. Maybe a smaller transit connect would be big enough for me.

Even we Chumash pronounce it a couple of ways. You got it right. Thanks for the acknowledgement. My Great Grandfather was born there.

It's too bad there were weather issues that complicated things for you guys out there but I'm just curious to know what time of year this was.

I’m wondering about your recording equipment… what do you use/recommend?
Thank you!
