The people are home but no lights are on

Friday June 2nd, 180 miles into the trip. How can a whole town be without electricity? We stopped for lunch along Highway 121, Brandy Branch Road AKA Brady Brunch Road, according to Captain Jim.

Here we go again

Friday 6/2/2017  Away on another adventure exploring the unknown and revisiting some known.
