Traveling and Exploring Parks to find Inner Peace in Nature

Welcome to my channel!

I am based in Michigan around the metro Detroit area. I took a "leap faith" recently to help with finding #innerpeace and focus on more positive things in life. To stay true to my newfound goal of finding inner peace with #nature I will be going on some mini/long trips to local #parks /#nationalparks and sites and I will take you with me as I explore them. I am also #suvcamping / #carcamping on my 2019 Hyundai Tucson no-build camper.

Finding inner peace is being close to nature. There are parks everywhere and most of them are free. Come with me and we will explore them together. It's like #freetherapy

Also - Tech, Video Games, Music, Space, Nature, Cats!

@@TheSt1ngRay Hi Ray, love the music as well, as you cruised through Manitoba and eastern Saskatchewan to arrive at my home town of Moose Jaw. Born and raised and moved to Alberta for work in my late 20's (I've been in Calgary since 1988). The CO-OP gas stations all do full-service but many other stations across the prairies will have both full-serve and self-serve so you have to look if the pump is marked full or self-serve. Not sure on what the setup was for him starting your fill and then you went in to pay, hmm? Glad you travelled from Mich. to the meet-up and so nice to meet you. Enjoy the rest of summer and stay in touch. I will be keeping an eye on your travel adventures and hope to see you out to Alberta/BC in the future. Cheers Ray!!
