OUR WORST RV MISTAKE YET! // Problems after Hiking Mt Le Conte #RVLife
What better to do than hike a mountain the day after you run a marathon? At least, that’s what Daniel thought before we took on the stair-master-challenge that is #hiking to the tallest peak in Tennessee, Mount Le Conte.
Joined by our wonderful friend William, this video is all about quad pain. And, laughing at us while we endure it. If you ever get the chance, we highly recommend this hike if you’re visiting the Smoky Mountains in Tenessee.
Also, you can basically just drive to the absolute tallest peak in Tennessee, Clingmans Dome. But, what’s the fun in that? 🤣
But, after we got all that hard work in, we came home to an RV newbie mistake that was hands down our worst yet. 🤦♀️

_ 🗺️ ABOUT WANDERLOCAL ________________________
Hello, friends! We're Lauren and Daniel. For nearly a decade, we chased the American dream of owning our own business. We built a successful communications agency and had "it all" but were tired, overworked, and unfulfilled.
After watching a documentary on minimalism in January 2019, we sold everything, except our company, and took off to travel the world!
But after a year and a half of travel, we got stuck in Morocco and had to take a US rescue flight home during COVID-19. So, needless to say, we’re pretty excited to stay on American soil for a while.
We've always been passionate about exploring local while we travel, but small businesses need all of us to #shoplocal now more than ever, and we want to inspire people to do just that.
We're on a mission to visit all 50 states in 365 days while shopping 100% American made, all in an Airstream.
It's our hope by sharing our adventures and tips for shopping locally, you will be inspired to do the same - creating your own incredible memories in our beautiful country while you #wanderlocal.
