Covered bridges – “you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all”. So why the chase? For the #2laagans the chase is a mix of challenge and fun bonding activity. Driving through muddy or dusty roads; fighting bugs & mosquitoes in the wilderness; enjoying bucolic scenery in rolling and winding roads and getting lost in the middle of nowhere with no internet.
