Day Twenty-three We were staying in temporary housing when we rolled out for our trip. The cabin had been cleaned and turned back over to our landlord. We have been burned a couple times by wiley home owners and I want to share a few pointers for renting. I can't stress enough the need for… Continue reading Head ’em up, Roll ’em out
