    Season 3 Part 15 of the Travels With Randy podcast is here!
    The Carolina Coast.
    After last week's fun Atlanta Braves adventure, Randy then drove back out to the coast and spent the week making his way north up the coast of Georgia into South Carolina and up the SC coast and finally arrived in Wilmington, NC to set up camp for the next week.
    Early in the week Randy visited Cumberland Island to see the wild horses and the ruins of a giant Carnegie mansion that was over 100 years old.  He then headed up to Savannah and toured the city and headed out to Tybee Island for a visit.  From there it was a sprint up to Myrtle Beach and then into North Carolina to Southport.   Snuffy then got to ride on a ferry over to Fort Fischer as Randy visited the aquarium there (Sharks! Seahorses!), then landed up in Wilmington.  
    Next up:  The Outer Banks.

    The Atlanta Braves Is A Dream Come True For Randy!
    It's another very exciting baseball week for Randy!  He begins the week by watching his Angels play - and win - at Tampa Bay stadium.  He then somehow takes 4 days to drive the 7 hours to Atlanta because a very special treat awaits him there - Bubba!
    So if you can't be totally cool then make sure you know someone who is totally cool - and that would be Bubba's friend Jill who just so happens to be the CFO of the Atlanta Braves.  Jill treated the boys to an incredible experience which included secret stadium entrances and unlimited free food and seats right behind home plate to watch the Braves play and beat the Rangers.  It was just an incredible experience.
    After a long night of listening to Randy saw logs in the hotel room, the fellas split up the next day - Bubba headed back to Charlotte and Randy headed back out to the Georgia coast to continue his trip north via the coast.
    They have a long conversation about dreams and Bubba challenges Randy to get tested for sleep apnea lol.

    Farewell To The Keys And Hello Tampa
    This week, the beauty and uniqueness of the Florida Keys really hits home for Randy and he decides to make them an annual stop.   Key West in particular is just magical, whether it's Hemmingway's house or watching the sunset from Mallory Square or having a tropical drink along Duvall Street.
    Randy only reluctantly leaves Key West to travel back up through the Keys and over to Homewood, FL and then across the Everglades in search of alligators.  He finishes his week up at Tampa and springs for a hotel to get all cleaned up for the Angels vs Rays game the next day.

    Seriously What Do Key Deer Look Like?
    Another week - another weekly adventure for Randy.  This week it's time for some sunglasses and Hawaiian shirts because Randy is hitting every beach in Florida and then heading to Bubba's Mecca, Key West.
    We last left Randy as he was hugging the Gulf and driving east through towns like Gulfport and Biloxi and Pascagoula.  This week, he continues his journey east and into the Sunshine State of Florida.  He crosses Florida to the east coast at Jacksonville, and then bravely drives ALL the way down A1A to Miami.   He drives on the beach at Daytona, almost drinks from the Fountain of Youth at St Augustine, and gets all excited to see a nude beach until he sees who is on it.  Cape Canaveral is next, followed by Miami and a baseball game between the Marlins and his beloved Angels.  He ends the week driving Snuffy through the Florida Keys, where he will hang out for several days before heading slowly back north to the Everglades.

    Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Platitudes
    Once again, Bubba has a busy stretch of time and can't get the 'ole podcast recorded fast enough because holy moley Randy has been everywhere in the past week and a half.
    We start this week's journey in New Mexico at the Carlsbad Caverns National Park, which is over a mile and a half walk all underground and all beautiful.  Make sure to find Randy's Facebook post on Travels With Randy for this one - amazing pics. 
    From there it's off to Guadalupe National Park in Texas and then down to Big Bend National Park in Texas, which borders the Rio Grande and the Mexican border.   Randy then almost poops his pants in San Antonio right before he follows the Texas coast down to South Padre Island and then up and around the Texas border to Galveston, then Orange, Texas.   
    Then it's across the swampy west Louisiana landscape over to Baton Rouge and down to New Orleans for a wonderful dinner of....Italian food? (Facepalm).  Randy finishes the week moving across the Gulf Coast into Alabama.
    This area is a big memory for Bubba, who sold pictures on streetcorners with Scientologists all across the Nawlins area and over to Gulfport and Biloxi, and he fills Randy in on the experience. 
    Randy is Miami bound to watch a little baseball next week and we can't wait to catch up then.

    Secret Wine Intelligence Officers And Aliens And Sand, Oh My!
    So, it was a bad idea to wait 9 days between podcasts because Randy has had a crazy number of experiences in that time.
    Randy first tells the tale of Bisbee, AZ and the unbelievably unlikely encounter with...a fan of the show?  It's a story you've just got to hear and we cover it in detail.  
    Not to be outdone, Randy then spends the night at a winery run by a couple of US Ex-Military Foreign Intelligence Officers, and after a glass or two of wine, the stories begin to flow.
    Then it's off to cross one of the last National Parks off Randy's list - White Sands, New Mexico.  It's a place beyond description but luckily Randy is a pro photographer and has shared dozens of pictures of the park on our Facebook page.
    After visiting a couple of small western towns, Ruidoso and Cloudcroft New Mexico, Randy then ventures into the Alien Capital of the USA, Roswell New Mexico.  He buys Bubba a very interesting hat for his birthday ;)
