Spring Trip

We rolled out of inland Florida, swung west to the Gulf for a stretch of salt air, then pointed the rig toward the high country — climbing north through Alabama and Tennessee until the road tilted up into the Blue Ridge. It ended in Damascus, Virginia, where the Creeper Trail and the Appalachian Trail run right through town.
