On this episode, Corian and I discuss our maiden voyage from Wisconsin to Utah which took us a total of 10 days to skirt across the country and cover over 2,021 miles. We are sharing just how we accomplished this major feat and what tools, tips and tricks carried us through it all to land us at our final destination. Not every mile was fun and games though, we had to overcome some of mother natures' non cooperative side which even caused us to pivot at the last second adding over 4 total hours to the trip.

All this and more! But first, here's some key statistics that we tracked of this entire trip:
