They don’t show you this side of Grand Teton.
Crowds. No guardrails. Pure chaos. And then the mountains just… sit there looking perfect anyway.
Day 6 of the America 250 trip is live — Mormon Row, Jenny Lake madness, Signal Mountain, and we made it to Old Faithful.

🚨 NEW VIDEO IS LIVE! 🚨
Day 3 of our Epic America 250 Wild West Road Trip was pure magic!
Wall Drug → hand-feeding prairie dogs → chilling Cold War history at Minuteman Missile → epic Badlands views (and a wild prairie thunderstorm) → racing to Mount Rushmore just in time for the unforgettable America 250 lighting ceremony… then crashing at the cutest vintage Chalet Motel in Custer.
This day had it ALL — quirky roadside stops, wildlife, history, drama, and patriotic chills.
Watch the full adventure here 👉 https://youtu.be/Lc7EW-Uhqvk
Drop a 🦬 if you’ve been to the Badlands or a 🇺🇸 if Mount Rushmore hits different at night!

Day 1 of the America 250 Wild West Road Trip is LIVE… and somehow we survived.
569 miles.
One truck.
Zero ghosts (that we know of).
One very large truck stop that has its own ZIP code.
And a possibly haunted mansion where the gargoyle was judging us harder than our GPS.
We ate questionable gas-station pizza, chugged energy drinks, and somehow made it to Iowa without losing a single suitcase… or our minds.
Come watch us pretend we know what we’re doing:

Poll time:
What’s more terrifying?
A) The haunted B&B
B) Iowa 80’s size
C) How many energy drinks we drank
