Take the chance, buy the plane tickets, wake up in strange places! A chance "follow" on Instagram led to reconnecting with a long lost friend and proceeding to plan all the adventures.

Wyoming Explored: Quebec 01 Missile Alert Facility State Historic Site

It's interesting growing up and living with nuclear missiles in your "backyard." I always known that southeastern Wyoming was loaded with them - it's FE Warren Air Force Base's job after all - the base is one of three strategic missile bases in the U.S. There was always that morbid knowledge that this region was… Continue reading Wyoming Explored: Quebec 01 Missile Alert Facility State Historic Site
