Talladega had been on our radar for a while, and with a solid plan in place, we were excited to dive into everything this corner of Alabama had to offer. Over the course of 11 days, we checked off some big bucket-list items: exploring the Talladega Superspeedway and its rich…
To start off our whirlwind of short stops through the southern U.S., we rolled into Mississippi with a goal in mind: check off another state highpoint. We set up camp for 9 nights at Tishomingo State Park, tucked away in the northeastern corner of the state. It ended up being…
After some time at home for a conference, we were back on the road again the second week of March. We headed down to southern Illinois for just under two weeks. Last year we started our full-time travelling in southern IL because we wanted to see spring ephemerals. We should…
