Sometimes the biggest impact starts with something as simple as a pancake breakfast.

In Episode 3 of our Florida or Bust 2026 series, we had the opportunity to spend the day serving the Milton, Florida community and continuing the mission of the Lee and Betty Johnson Memorial Charity.

The morning started at Unhitched Campgrounds, where we hosted a pancake breakfast and presented a special memorial garden piece that was generously fabricated and donated by J&A Welding and Fabricating of Suamico, Wisconsin. Seeing that memorial find its new home was a reminder that honoring those who came before us doesn't always require grand gestures—sometimes it's the simple acts that mean the most.

After breakfast, we headed to Historic Milton Cemetery to help clean up the fence line and remove years of overgrowth. Our goal was to help preserve and improve a place that holds so much history and so many memories.

Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans for me.

Partway through the project, I had an allergic reaction to some of the plants we were clearing and had to step back from the work. Thankfully, Ryan and Gary from Jail Bait & Tackle Outdoors stepped up and kept the project moving forward when I couldn't.

One thing this trip taught me is that service isn't about who gets the credit. It's about showing up, working together, and helping wherever you're needed.

Whether it was serving breakfast, presenting a memorial, or clearing brush at the cemetery, every part of this day was driven by the same mission:

How can we serve those who served us?

Thank you to everyone who continues to support the Lee and Betty Johnson Memorial Charity and our efforts to support veterans and Wreaths Across America.

� SUNDAY NIGHT LIVE!

After several weeks of Florida or Bust videos, Memorial Day projects, fundraising updates, charity work, and trying to fit everything into one show, I think it's time for something a little different.

Tonight, there is no big topic.

No presentation.

No agenda.

Just good conversation with good people.

We'll talk about whatever comes up, answer questions, share stories from the road, discuss upcoming projects, laugh a little, and probably get completely off track at least once or twice.

Want to talk trucking?
Let's do it.

Want to talk RV life?
Sure.

Want updates on Florida or Bust, the Lee and Betty Johnson Memorial Charity, Wreaths Across America, Miles, Sapphire, or whatever else is on your mind?
Bring it.

As always, you never know who might stop by.

06/11/2026



Sometimes serving a veteran means showing up with a hammer, a shovel, and a willingness to get dirty.

During our Florida or Bust 2026 campaign, Ryan, Gary from Jail Bait & Tackle Outdoors, and I spent the day helping a disabled veteran rebuild a fence he was no longer physically able to complete himself.

What we thought would be a simple repair quickly became a much larger project. As the day went on, we discovered there was more work to be done than any of us expected. While we weren't able to finish the fence that day, we made tremendous progress and laid the foundation for what would eventually become a completed project.

The thing I've learned through this charity is that service isn't always glamorous. Sometimes it's digging holes, lifting lumber, solving problems, and figuring things out one step at a time. But that's where the real impact happens.

I also want to give a special shout-out to Kristyn. While the rest of us were focused on the fence project, she spent the day running errands, making supply runs, and helping keep everything moving behind the scenes. Many times the people who make projects like this possible never end up in the spotlight, but we absolutely could not have accomplished what we did without her support.

This project is exactly what the Lee and Betty Johnson Memorial Charity was created to do—not just raise money, but to ask a simple question:

"How can we serve those who served us?"

Thank you to everyone who supports our mission, follows these adventures, and helps make these projects possible.

The story isn't over yet. The completion of this fence is coming in a future episode of Florida or Bust 2026.

� WE’RE BACK FROM FLORIDA OR BUST! �

After an unforgettable Memorial Day week in Milton, Florida, it’s time to unpack everything that happened.

What started as a crazy idea from three people in a tiny Upper Peninsula town turned into something far bigger than we expected.

Pancake breakfasts
Service projects for veterans
Fence repairs & community outreach
Memorial Day remembrance events
Barrancas National Cemetery reflections
The Memorial Garden at Unhitched Milton
Community, chaos, laughter, and yes… a few train wreck moments �

Tonight we’re breaking it ALL down:

� How much money was raised for service projects
� What we spent and where the money went
� The truth behind what worked (and what didn’t)
� Recapping the amazing Facebook posts and community response
� Upcoming Florida or Bust video series plans
� What happens NEXT for the Lee & Betty Johnson Memorial Charity
� Summer fundraising ideas & ways YOU can get involved

And now that Florida or Bust is officially in the rearview mirror…

**What does the future look like?**

Because this mission doesn’t stop here.

The Lee & Betty Johnson Memorial Charity exists to serve those who served us while funding wreath sponsorships through Wreaths Across America for Barrancas National Cemetery.

Grab a drink, pull up a chair, and come hang out.

One mile at a time.

🚛 FLORIDA OR BUST 2026: DRIVEN WITH PURPOSE | EPISODE 1 IS LIVE!

What started as a road trip quickly became something much bigger.

In Episode 1, we hook up the Big Horn RV to Sapphire and begin the journey south to Milton, Florida to kick off the 2026 fundraising campaign for the Lee and Betty Johnson Memorial Charity.

Of course, no road trip is complete without a few surprises.

We dealt with a truck stop that ran out of fuel, discovered a few things inside the RV that didn't appreciate Indiana's roads, and spent a lot of time wondering what else might happen before we finally rolled into Unhitched Campgrounds in Milton, Florida.

Along the way, you'll see:
✅ The journey south begin
✅ Emerald Coast Wildlife Refuge
✅ Navarre Beach
✅ Meeting up with Gary from Jail Bait & Tackle Outdoors
✅ The first chapter of our Florida or Bust adventure

This trip isn't just about travel. It's about service.

Every mile of this journey is dedicated to raising funds for the Lee and Betty Johnson Memorial Charity and supporting Wreaths Across America at Barrancas National Cemetery, helping ensure our veterans are remembered and honored.

Yesterday, we finished the fence.

And standing there looking at it…

I realized something.

This wasn’t really about a fence.

---

It was about remembering.

---

At the end of yesterday’s livestream, I played a song I wrote called “Say Their Names.”

Because that’s what this mission has always been about.

Not forgetting.

Remembering.

Honoring.

Serving.

---

This charity was built in memory of my grandparents.

Not so their names would sit quietly on paperwork.

Not so they would become another story people stop telling with time.

---

But so their lives would continue to mean something.

So their values would keep showing up in the world.

---

Compassion.
Service.
Community.
Helping people because it’s the right thing to do.

---

Standing there yesterday looking at that finished fence…

watching people smile…

seeing something broken made whole again…

I kept thinking:

«This is what they would’ve wanted.»

Not attention.

Not praise.

---

People helping people.

Showing up.

Doing the work.

Leaving things a little better than we found them.

---

Because this charity is becoming something bigger than fundraising.

It’s becoming action.

A mission that walks into communities and asks:

«“How can we serve those who served us?”»

---

Yesterday it looked like a fence.

Tomorrow it might look like another project.

Another veteran.

Another community.

Another hand up when somebody needs it.

---

And maybe that’s the point of remembrance.

Not simply looking backward.

But carrying forward the values of the people who shaped us.

---

The song says it best:

Say their names.

Because when we remember people through service…

they never really stop leaving fingerprints on the world.

---

This mission is for them.

This work is for them.

And this is only the beginning.





---

I’ll see you on the next mile. 💛
