WFSL's User Profile - Atlas Obscura

WFSL

We've been together over thirty years and plan on making it to our fiftieth anniversary. We love traveling back roads and seeing everything off the beaten path, an interest that's been spurred on by Joe's cancer diagnosis. Atlas Obscura is a great tool for that and we also hope to be able to add places to the Atlas. We accept donations for both homeopathic treatment and to help fund our travels at the links posted below. Thank you for reading, have a great day and safe travels! www.givesendgo.com/GBJXS Cash App $WFSL www.buymeacoffee.com/WFSL
