Travel Day | Asheville, NC to Charleston, SC

ODOMETER: 79,678 | MILES TRAVELED: 1,733

 

by Grant

Up at the crack of dawn and was first to be checked into Diesel Power for the day. It’s a monstrous facility with 24 bays to work on trucks and RV’s. Diane took great care of us and Boshen (the foreman) and Igor (the tech) diagnosed and dealt with Thelma’s menopausal issues. She was indeed overheating due to debris in the radiator and they allowed us to stay on board while they cleaned her radiator in just a few hours and rather than having to handle seven heartbeats in the Jeep for the day we hit the road to Charleston earlier than expected.

Thelma stayed cool the entire trip and we glided over the SC rolling hills. We arrived at the James Island Campground and were met with some awesome Christmas light displays. All set up and snuggled in for the night we are going to hit the beach with Jack and Stellie tomorrow and find a trail to hit in the AM.

Happy 20th Birthday, Jack!

Today, as you begin your twenties, we want to pause and celebrate the beautiful human you are. Your authenticity is a light, shining through in everything you do. You live your truth with a courage that inspires all of us. Your creativity is captivating, lifting the spirits of those who witness it. We admire your dedication to your own art and your profound connection to music, film and art in all forms.

Your unwavering selflessness, kindness and compassion are strengths that move quietly but profoundly, touching lives in ways you don’t always realize. The warmth and care you extend to others is a true reflection of your being. It’s a gift to watch you uplift those around you, always consciously mindful, always compassionate.

As you continue on your artistic journey, know that we are with you, supporting you always. We believe in your art, unlimited by commercial constraints and free from the mainstream’s narrow definitions of success. Your authentic vision, your voice, and your perspective are important and needed in this world.

Keep following your passions. Keep being you—because who you are is truly a gift to this world. Here’s to more years of creativity, joy, and the pure expression of your true self.

We love you so much, Jack. Happy 20th Birthday!

With all our love and admiration,

Mum & Dad
