Ian Anderson’s Caves Branch Jungle Lodge

Caves Branch is a once-in-a-lifetime typa thing that should be experienced again and again. What is it, you ask? Give me two minutes… Let me start by saying that the website of Ian Anderson’s Caves Branch Jungle Lodge heeds the following warning, “Please Remember, Caves Branch is NOT a resort-we are a unique Jungle Adventure…

Meet The Vias

We kissed on a bus once back in September 2010. Luke was a bit tipsy and I was wearing an 80’s prom dress (it was not a themed event). We said ‘I do’ under the trees near Yosemite, California back in August 2016 and have been adventuring ever since. Nothing we type here is going to change the world but maybe it will inspire you to do something beautifully stupid. Ey, we’re livin’ proof that life takes funny turns sometimes.

Noah: "You wanna dance with me?" Allie: "Sure... Now? Here? You're not supposed to dance in the middle of the street... We don't have any music." Noah: "We're gonna make some." (Had to rewatch this scene on YouTube and then got caught in a loop of Notebook clips. Swoon). . . Most quotable movie of all time, GO!

When you wake up confused from a dream only to realize you're in a real comfy situation and there's extra time to snuggle ❤️. . . . PS- to be clear, half my mornings begin with cat butt uncomfortably close to my face so, you know, gotta celebrate the wins 😏. . . PPS- There's still time to sign up for the Instagram MasterClass! Check my Story highlights 👌.

The 1 semi normal shot vs. the other 999 that serve as a reminder of why we take so many photos with our faces smooshed together. . . . Spent the weekend at my parents property in Napa County celebrating the life of the party: my mama. Feels like eternal magic hour up here. In case you're looking, they rent this dope safari-land out to large groups 😏. Posted some shots in the stories. Check it and let me know if you want the link 🤜🤛.

We posted a similar photo of Roosevelt right before she took off for her maiden voyage back in 2017. It was the first time I thought, "Dang, people like van life." Sometimes it feels that Instagram comes naturally and everything goes the way it should. Other times, I feel like a freshman at orientation staring out at all the cool kids who know exactly who they are while I'm still in this awkward "Limp Bizkit and Eminem are hot" phase. I've learned a lot over these last few years about growing an Instagram community but so much of it has been trial and error. I reached out to a friend I know through Instagram the other day asking about how she crushes it in the partnerships department. Not two days later @themayestream reached out letting me know about their Instagram Masterclass, "Learn How To Grow Your Instagram, Increase Engagement & Generate Income" and if I wanted to partner with them to get the word out. Obviously the first thing I did was check under the bed to see if they'd been creepin' on my secret DMs (they weren't... Just weird Jedi stuff) then realized I could probably use a little guidance myself. It's crazy to think how new this online world is yet how deeply it's permeated our lives! Anyhow, the class is free so if any of you guys are in the same boat as me, sign up 💪! Ready to be a student for a coupla days #waxonwaxoff. Join me! Link saved in story highlight ❤️.

A kid just told me he farted and a little bit came out. This was met with a tidal wave of high fives from his classmates... 😒. 21 school days until summer vacation. 21 school days until summer vacation.

Nevada City has always had a little piece of my soul. A place that used to mean splashing in the shallow pools of the Yuba, trips to town for toys, walks around the resoivoir, and double bouncing on a trampoline has managed to keep all it's childhood magic. We're still cruising to the river but now we make our own itineraries and do a lot of kissin'. So giddy I get to share this place with you, @twaffa ❤️. (PS - yeah that's Luke on booty police 🤦🏼‍♀️.) . . . What's a spot from your early years that makes your heart sing??
