Visiting The Garden AKA Treeisalive
I decided to visit the now infamous “Treeisalive” commune and see what The Garden was like for myself. I met a lot of amazing people and learned a lot. It all started a few weeks ago. I have a close internet friend of about fifteen years who until recently I had never met. A few…

Great Smoky Mountains National Park
The Great Smoky Mountains are a really cool place. Basically the clouds hug the mountains which makes them look smoky. This is the most popular of all the national parks whuch surprises me given how grand the grand canyon is. Check out this video… I thought this sign was hilarious. I picked up a…

Congaree National Park
(View the full album here) This one is really just a spite park. It was created to prevent development in the area. It’s just a normal forest with hiking. There isn’t really anything remarkable about it. They were also doing prescribed burns so the trails were closed. lmao. So basically it was just a parking…

Key Biscayne National Park & Key Lime Pie
(View the full album here) Okay so this might be my favorite day of the Florida leg of the trip. I started by heading to Fireman Derek’s Bake Shop in downtown Miami. I got a slice of what many reviewers call the most authentic key lime pie. Then I drove to Key Biscayne National Park and ate…

Florida: Cuban Sandwich
(View the full album here) This was a really amazing sandwich, though kind of terrifying experience to actually get the sandwich… I have had Cuban Sandwiches before but this was much better.

Dry Tortugas National Park & Key West
(View the full album here) Key West looked like it would be a lot of fun normally. It was kind of terrifying at the moment because basically not a single person was wearing a mask anywhere in the town, and everything was very close together so there wasn’t really any way of avoiding the unmasked…

Everglades National Park
(View the full album here) The Everglades! What a cool and interesting place. There is lots of sun for the solar panels and lots of nature to explore. The weather in Florida is great this time of year. It stays warm and breezy, even at night, and it’s not too humid yet. This is my…

Hot Springs National Park
Hot Springs is a small town in Arkansas. It’s also a National Park. It’s very strange as far as national parks go, to have the park and town mixed together like this. There is no entrance fee for example and the visitor center is a shop in the town. The only hot springs are…

Yosemite National Park
(You can view the full album here) I know what you’re thinking. You stopped at Yosemite in between Texas and Florida? Well yes but there are three reasons. First, I had to get my car smogged in California. Second, Texas was a fucking mess at this point. Third, the firefalls! Also I was lucky enough…

Carlsbad Caverns National Park
(View the full album here) Carlsbad Caverns is an amazing place, just like all the national parks are. I was excited to learn that they take masks and social distancing very seriously. Everyone must have masks on everywhere in the park, even outside or down in the cave. Very cool and practical dedication to safety.…
