We have been in Augusta, Georgia for a week now. It took us an extra day to find a campground, but we love where we ended up staying, and it has been the perfect place to base camp out of for my Samaritan's Purse volunteering tribe. Vaughn, Beth, Jake, and Thomas have been going in every day to help Samaritan's Purse with clean up efforts after an ice storm came through … [Read more...] about Samaritan’s Purse volunteering: Cleaning up in Augusta, GA… ;)

The plan was to visit a nearby National Park on Wednesday, then head south into Florida that same night. Wednesday morning we woke up, left the truck and 5er in the Walmart parking lot, and … [Read more...] about Andersonville National Historic Site/ National POW Museum in Georgia…
