Leave To Find

We hit the road with a lighter camper as we left mom behind in California to surf and hang out with her friends. We went North of Phoenix and stayed in the desert, then headed up to Chaco Canyon. We saw mini donkeys and had a pretty hair raising experience with our tire.  Come hang out with us over on Instagram @leavetofind.
