Welcome to Roads & Relics — quiet back-road escapes into hidden history & healing beauty. Ride along as we hunt for history markers, old churches, forgotten landmarks, and serene views in the countryside that help calm the soul. 100% human-made: filmed & narrated by me—no AI. #humanmade #backroads #hiddenhistory #disabledveteran

I'm John, guitar-picking disabled Vet saved by Grace, behind the wheel & camera just for you. These rides are my therapy—chasing calming peace down country lanes for stress relief. It is a blessing to share that serenity with my fellow Disabled Veterans and with anyone who can't always get out, or just needs a gentle break from the hectic pace of life! #asmr #stressrelief

09.13.2026 Hey everybody, Eve and I got married in July, bought a new house in August, and moved Eve from the great state of Wisconsin to Virginia and are now unpacking and settling in... Furniture on order, packages being delivered, stuff being assembled IKEA style, contractors popping in and out finishing things up, etc... So, we're taking our time looking for and filming the next adventure and it will be a couple more weeks before we get back on the road. That said, we have been scouting a few awesome looking places, history markera, and picturersque scenic views we want to explore!
The next chapter of our lives together is being written by our Heavenly Father each and every moment of the day. We look forward to getting back out there! See ya soon!!!
God Bless!

Well hey Gang! Merry Christmas! Roads and Relics is hitting the road for the holiday. We will be back soon with more awesome back roads, history, and adventure!
If, like me.. You need something to focus on during the hectic days ahead.. I recommend getting outdoors and looking at the night sky.
Look up at the stars and pick one out - just one. And remember what the Good Book tells us in Matthew 2:10 "When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy."
Jesus is the reason for the season!
Have a happy and blessed Christmas!
See Ya Soon!
~ John.
