Gold Fever

Watch how one family caught the gold fever and took their RV to prospect for gold in Chicken, AK.

Panning for gold in Chicken, Alaska was really fun. Pay dirt in almost every pan!

Jenn and Brent

In 2011, the Newschool Nomads sold almost all their stuff to hit the road for a full time RVing adventure. They intended to spend one year traveling but fell in love with the RV life so much that one year turned into four! Now settled in Colorado, they enjoy RVing every chance they get and look forward to returning to the full time RV life once “the Bigs” fly the nest. They are passionate about encouraging families to get out and explore, connect, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
