Jeep trips, scenic drives, road trips, travel, trails, overlooks, unusual places, forgotten places, and destinations worth getting out of the house to see. Some adventures can cross over with KAPPIN RIDES when the bike and the destination are both part of the story.

Joro Spider Hunt at Camp Jordan: 13 in Less Than 1/4 Mile

We Bought a Jeep... So We Took It to the Woods!
