After 16 months in the Appalachians, the West couldn't keep us away..

After 1.5 years in North Carolina, we realized that the East simply can’t compete with the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains out West.

Don’t get me wrong. We think Asheville is an awesome place to live. The Appalachian Mountains (and the Blue Ridge Mountains especially) are BEAUTIFUL.

We hiked, fished, swam, and explored that area as much as possible in that time.

But now we are ready for something different. And we have a different mindset to go with it.

So, we decided to do something kinda drastic.

We packed up our stuff, rented a Uhaul, and drove BACK across the country.
