In this issue of ROVA, we uncover a multitude of reasons and ways that people take to the road, and the experiences that they have as a result.

Micah Ling is a keen mountain-biker, and travels to find the best trails in the country; longtime ROVA writer Reggie Grey interviews his mom about her new RV life, which is designed around visiting family; Bryony Angell shares how birdwatchers on the road have a lot in common with migratory birds; and Rhett Arens tells the misadventure-filled story of transporting a vintage RV across the country to help out his brother, and to deliver some furniture.

Also in this issue, George Wood shares his detours-focused approach to travel; we look at breweries whose beverage offerings take their cues from the outdoors and active lifestyles; and photographer Keli Lindsey shares her love of Utah, and how choosing to explore the beauty of America has benefited her family.

Our adventurous writers go exploring in this issue: Rene Cizio gets comfortable with the emptiness at White Sands; Jonathan DeLise finds harmony on the way to satiation in Indiana; Matt Meltzer discovers much more than rocket launches on Florida’s Space Coast; and Kirk Sever has a close encounter with UFOs in Humqaq, California.
