This post comes with all precautions and disclaimers alerts: What the creators of this video did was most certainly not permitted, nor was it a great idea (although we love the idea) and, to be honest, their kinda innocent take on the whole escapade is kinda endearing, although you might want to discourage any…
This is the road less traveled. Slow down and visit forgotten places.
OK, all of you Billy Joe and Bobby Sue wannabes, if you're looking for the authentic Dukes of Hazzard vibes, then get ready; we have the place for you.

Not all who wander are lost.
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
As nascent motorheads, one of our favorite things to do is to go and spelunk. When you gently wander and look at what is essentially garbage to most people, it's a playground of fun for the rest of us. And we're not ashamed. There are so many places on this earth that have sadly been…
