In this issue, we tag along with a bunch of travelers as they find excitement in their own ways. Faith Thompson marries her beau atop a mountain in Colorado; Kim Dohner buys an e-bike to take her further into the landscape; Alec Beeson gets stranded on his second day of van life; Jay Kehoe prepares his skoolie, with its hood- mounted steer skull, for a season of travel; and we take a look at the small trailers that can help you to live large.

Also in this issue, a marvelous cure-all for boredom: a look at some of the best and most beautiful wine regions in the United States. We check out summer festivals ranging from food to aliens; Katy Spratte Joyce takes an unexpected babymoon to a dude ranch; Michael Schibel takes us to a Midwest mining region that’s surprisingly beautiful; and we take a look at some of the best beaches and boardwalks in New Jersey.
