Travel Notes and Storytelling is where I share my travel experiences, the unique beauty of landscapes, the cultural richness of people, the ecological diversity, and current events that impact these. Every destination offers a richness and value that helps me learn more about the world and along the way, learn more about myself. I capture the essence of this richness and share it in my own words and through my own images. – Marie Goff

Eddie and I are wishing everyone a safe and happy Labor Day as we celebrate the strength and ingenuity of American workers. At the same time, our hearts go out to all the workers affected by COVID-19. We appreciate the dedication and loyalty of our health care workers, educators, and service workers.
We are continuing to enjoy activities right here in our beautiful State of South Carolina, and hope that you are getting the chance to go outside and enjoy too. In addition to our own adventures, we’re tracking others too. That led us to our friend C.J., who attended the Sturgis 2020 Motorcycle Rally. Traveling alone on his 2003 Harley-Davidson Softail Classic, he rode over 3,500 miles.
C.J. describes his planning, especially for the ride, and considering COVID-19. It’s a heartwarming and nostalgic story.
