Between camping and hoteling it over the years, we’ve managed to check off a LOT of items on our bucket list – including camping in every one of the 48 contiguous United States.

I watched guys drop hundreds of dollars gambling in exchange for a few drinks. I’m quite looking forward to stuffing my face full of delicious food and even doing some gambling.
