Fort Sumter

We visited the week of the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War, which happened at Fort Sumter. It's one of those places that it's cool to be able to say you've visited, but you have an hour to fill until the ferry takes you back, and to be honest, you don't need half that much time.

Realizing that they both really just wanted to travel and take pictures, Paul and Alana decided to get rid of all their stuff and hit the road for a year in a 1977 GMC Motorhome that they restored from the ground up. This is their trip.

Paul Cloutier
Paul loves to drive and spends more time looking for the worlds largest X than he probably should. He's pretty excited about Kentucky bourbon tours and finally seeing New England.
Alana Cloutier
Alana mostly spends her time taking pictures of squirrels and hiding the dog when we go places. She's pretty excited about seeing as many donut shops as possible.

An archive of a trip that ended in 2012. Nothing here has changed since.
