Hannah took some that I'll add later. Things we will remember :
* driving through the bad stom near Newberry (trees down)
* driving through a "storm" of lightning bugs
* driving...
* the "Creeper" is awesome!
* a wreck...
* some rain!
* driving for ice
* don't pay attention to Scott's driving directions...
We had an awesome time at the creeper. Sam's chain only came off his bike about 9 times in the first half of the trip.
