Ever wondered about the challenges of actually getting out to do historical explorations? Part of the experience of heading outdoors in getting there. Whether your destination is a few minutes or a few hours away, the drive is always an adventure. In the past we’ve looked at such things as hiking gear, bikes, etc., so I thought we might as well look at one of the most important parts of any exploration. While everyone’s perspective is a little different, I provide my thoughts on vehicles, tires and pet accessories. This is Part 1 of a multipart series, so be sure to have a look at Part 2 as well.
Enjoy!
