painteagle11's User Profile - Atlas Obscura

painteagle11

I'm an avid outdoorsman and love to travel and see new places. We discovered Atlas Obscurra when we were moving across the country from Virginia to Colorado and it's made trips awesome! We havn't got the chance for any long drives save for one drive back home after we had our daughter, but we now plan our routes to see some of the more unique things in the US and so far it's paid off immensely!
