  • We had an awesome meetup in the Red River Gorge. It was so cool to see some old friends and meeting some people who I’ve never met but watched there channels for a longtime. The camp time at Hansons Point was so much fun. Those were some memories I’ll never forget.
    We definitely got to see a bunch of locations on this trip. If you have any questions on any spots just let me know. You can leave a comment or DM me or email me.
