This by far was the best trip i have taken Thanks to Will Fogel and his Girlfriend Sidra Boyer. I first started the trip by taking a train to Jacksonville, FL from Orlando, FL. Where i met up with Will Fogel and his girlfriend. That where the road trip began to Ohio to race at the Soldiers of Downhill 2013. The first night we stopped at a rest stop in Newberry, South Carolina. I wasn't prepared for this trip. All i brought along was a mattress pad and some warm clothing. The first night i slept on top of a picnic table. It was a beautiful night calm and cool. I covered myself with the mattress pad while Will and Sidra posted up Hammocks to sleep in. I had such a good night sleep out in the open that all i remember was waking up to the sunrise and tree all around me. The next morning we hit the road again this time to North Carolina where Will knew a spot we can practice and have fun at. The place he took me at was one hell of a run. It had about 15 hairpins. Afterwards we hit up the river where we relaxed. After that day we continued on to Ohio. Will took the scenic way to Ohio which was the Blue Ridge Parkway. Along the way we saw plenty of beautiful mountains. It was a long road and it was also getting dark soon, so we had to find a place to camp which we did with in the Blue ridges mountains. We setup a fire and posted up. Due to the government shut down at the time we didn't have to worry about ranger telling us where we shouldn't camp. That was my first time camping on a mountain and it was pitch dark. I didn't have the guts to sleep out by the fire, so i slept in the car. The very next morning we packed up and heading to Ohio. Along the way Will hit up a run called little Switzerland. Then afterwards we hit the road again and made it to Ohio at night fall. We hit up the campsite for the riders and posted up. The rest of the story is on the video i posted below. After the race Will dropped me off at Dayton Airport where we parted. He still had a road trip to Michigan and i had a flight to take back home.
