Our Eastern Adventure Begins: Savannah, GA To Bardstown, KY

The Okefenokee Swamp & Cumberland Island, GA

After five years of full-time traveling, the allure of the road hasn’t lost its appeal. We always look forward to hitching up and setting out on a new adventure, even more so when we’ve been in one place for a while. At the end of March, after two months in Florida, we were happy to […]
