Photography, Fun, and Adventure in the U.S.
We ventured into our 42nd national park with no previous knowledge about what makes it special… and left with a great appreciation of the beauty and heritage of Congaree National Park, located about 20 miles southeast of Columbia, South Carolina. We wondered how many people were aware of this 26,276-acre
After rushing through Maryland and Virginia, it was nice to know we would be spending about two weeks traveling through North Carolina — the 41st state we have visited on this trip! North Carolina, the Tar Heel State, was another of the original 13 colonies — and was the FIRST
Trying to make tracks down further south before the frigid temperatures and icy weather hit, we made quick stops in Maryland and Virginia… on our way to the Carolinas. We plan to come back and spend more time in Virginia during Spring 2020, near the end of this 2.5-year road

Autumn in New England definitely is amazing, and our time in Vermont and New Hampshire was absolutely wonderful. The leaves on the trees — the golds, oranges, and reds — were simply spectacular and a memory we will definitely cherish. If you have New England in autumn on your bucket
From Oswego in Central New York, we continued eastward traveling first to just south of the Adirondacks, arriving in Saratoga Springs. Our first order of business was to get back on our bicycles before it gets too chilly to enjoy riding them… and we found the perfect rail-trail to explore
