Traveling across the northern states.
Well, to be honest, there isn't a lot going on in the Northern part of the states that attracts us millenial city-slicker types.

The Redwood National Forest
We finally made it. Only, we didn't actually make it. I thought we did. It was a moment that I had been waiting for since my senior year of high school when I added it to my bucket list assignment in Ms. Barrier's economics class. Finally, I was going to be able to check another … Continue reading The Redwood National Forest
