About us
Two people, one car, and a map we argue about
Married & Mildly Lost is Stacy and Tony. We drive, we hike, we stop in towns with one stoplight, and then we tell you honestly what it was like. Mildly lost is the resting state.
Stacy
Plans the route, packs the snacks
Stacy is the one with the spreadsheet of possible stops and a strong opinion about which diner is worth the detour. She hikes for the view and the pie at the end of it, and she is the reason this blog exists rather than staying a folder of photos nobody sees.
Tony
Drives, carries the bags, finds the wrong turn
Tony drives, carries the heavier bag, and has a gift for taking the exit that looked right on the map. He also takes most of the photos, which is why so many of them are of a road disappearing into trees with no indication of where it goes.
How we travel
Weekends, mostly. Ambition, always.
- The trips
- Road trips with too many stops, hikes we picked off a trail sign, weekend getaways that need two nights and one bag, and small towns we found by taking the long way.
- The reviews
- Hotels, restaurants, attractions, trails and travel products. What we liked, what we did not, and what we would do differently next time.
- The rules
- If we did not go, we do not write about it. If we did not pay for it, we say who did. If it was bad, we say that too.

Read what we found, or tell us what we missed
We are always looking for the next detour, especially the kind nobody has written up properly.
