- Went to Buc-ees

- Absolutely stunning view at the campsite

Booked lodging in the Great Smoky Mountains. Cannot wait for Thursday to come around.

Big plans include laying in a hammock, hiking part of the AT, and playing radio.

If I didn’t make my first post a cat picture, my friends wouldn’t know it was me.
