Two kids, one classic goat

Retirement isn't the end of the journey—it's the green flag. For years we dreamed of taking time to wander America without rushing. With our 1970 Pontiac GTO (lovingly known as "The Goat") as our trusty chariot, Bruce and I are exploring hidden treasures, meeting fellow car lovers, and sharing every honest story from the driver and passenger seats.

Postcards from the asphalt

Every state brings a new horizon, fresh characters, and classic motor hums. Here is a glimpse of where our wheels have taken us so far.
