On a 48-hour surprise trip to Asheville, North Carolina, @DavidBegnaud met Steven Goff, who dropped out of high school to roam the country.
Goff has since found purpose in the kitchen, feeding more than 1,000 people through his “Wooden Nickel Program.”

Good Sunday morning! The entire length of NC12 is open and passable with a little residual sand and standing water in some areas. Continue to drive carefully... and enjoy! Barring developments, this will be the final Ophelia update.

On this date in 1969, Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon.
