One last camping trip
Hanging out on Curt's ranch is always one of our absolutely favorite parts of making our way to the mountains.

The JackWagon Journal - an independent musician's van life travels through the music industry
Welcome! What a year this has been thus far and we are mere month past halfway through it. This has been a year full of extreme highs and lows to say the very least.
