Second Week of USA Challenge‚ Fifty States of Wigge‘

By Davedtc @davedtc

I have been traveling for almost two weeks on my USA challenge ’50 States of Wigge’. Will I be able to travel to all fifty states in 50 days and face a unique challenge in each state? Continue to join me on Dave’s Travel Corner for challenge and trip updates!
