Aside from seeing more live shows than most past years, 2025 has objectively sucked for me so far. That being said…getting to see Deftones twice and having them release a new album within the past 7 months has been a bright spot. This is still the same North American Tour 2025 but “part 2” and of … Read more
Third concert in three weeks – what a busy season, some years I don’t even see that many shows. Tonight it’s for Glassjaw and Poison The Well at The Salt Shed in Chicago, Illinois. First time at this venue and have to say it’s pretty fancy as compared to many others. I was late due … Read more
It’s spring 2025 and feels more like winter, but there’s some weird noise rock in the air mixed with the undeniable bacon odors that come for free with a visit to X-Ray Arcade in Cudahy, WI. Tuesday night, Kickstand Productions, all ages, three bands. Couldn’t think of a better place to be. For those who … Read more
Picked up tickets to see Deftones with The Mars Volta at the United Center in Chicago, Illinois on the first leg of their North American Tour 2025. This is my first concert at the UC (though I have been here before to see the Blackhawks) and I’m curious to see how the venue works for … Read more
My failures at Mammoth Cave reverberated all the way into camp tonight as original plans were blown to bits. I made good progress heading north towards home but it was getting very cold outside now. Winds were howling meaning no campfires and most campgrounds are closed for the season limiting available options. I found some … Read more
Made a brief stop at the Natchez Trace Parkway Visitor Center in Tupelo, Mississippi to learn more about the history and culture highlighted along the route. If you have the time I strongly recommend watching the educational film detailing what the Trace is, historic use, culture, and the modern Parkway. There is a large history … Read more
I continued along the Natchez Trace until I reached Tupelo, Mississippi making a brief stop at the Tupelo National Battlefield site managed by the National Park Service. This isn’t a very large site but does have some interesting history and a couple of old cannons if you are in to military history (hint: I am … Read more
Took a short detour about 3 miles west of the Natchez Trace Parkway for a stop at the Owl Creek Mounds Archaeological Site in the Tombigbee National Forest. The site is of importance to the Chickasaw Nation and the story of Mississippian period in the Southeastern United States and is recognized on the National Register … Read more
Leaving my family in Amory, Mississippi and beginning my trip north towards home. I had heard about the Natchez Trace but wasn’t familiar with what it was so I started there to learn more. My first stop along that route was at Bynum Mounds. The Natchez Trace Parkway is a scenic highway that follows along … Read more
Towing trip is over as I have reached my destination in Amory, Mississippi. Unloaded, returned the trailer to Tupelo, and then visited with family for a couple days. No super exciting photos from this time, just happy to be with my people. One quick pic at the auction in Houston(I think?). Note from the author: … Read more
