(Calm music)

[Corey] I feel most alive when I'm out exploring.

(Acoustic music)

We're taking our son on a road trip to Wallowa-Whitman National Forest in Eastern Oregon. There's something special about looking out on the open road. You never really know what's around that next corner.

  • You signed up for KnowYourDrive right?

  • Yep, now we have hotel or rental car coverage if we need it.

  • Hey guys. Hey Wolfie!

  • Wanna see some animals?

[Cory] My whole life I've always put myself in situations that challenge me and so for me being a father is the most beautiful next step. The love is so powerful. Helping a child shape his big picture of the world is very exciting.

(Hopeful music)

Road trips are an amazing part of the human experience. It's kind of the best way to travel as a family. It's really all about making the most of the journey.

(Hopeful music)

My father taught me to fish as a child. It was a really special bonding moment for us. And I really want my son to experience that same thing. We try to not give him too many boundaries but always keep him safe. Being outdoors, he can learn and adventure and not feel we're holding him back. Put a big boulder in front of him and he's going to start climbing it.

Road trips have definitely brought my family closer together. You have a lot of time to really connect. I feel like Wolfie got a really unique experience up here. My hope is that Wolfie develops a deep connection with nature and then hopefully he can pass that on to his kids someday.

(Outro music)
