As you noticed, there was no podcast last week. That's because Rob and I were taking an epic motorcycle adventure to Key West, Florida from Bellefonte, PA and returning on the Amtrak Auto Train. This podcast details every day of the trip, preparations, and advice on Key West adventures as well as motorcycle touring! Give it a listen and if you need any advice, we're always happy to give it, solicited or unsolicited!
