Venture Unknown, is a community of off road and camping enthusiasts.  More than that, they are stewards of public forest lands, organizing massive trash and debris clean-up projects they call “Sweep up the Southeast”.  So when Hurricane Helene happened and one of their members was unaccounted for, they showed up to help.  But when Venture Unknown showed up, they showed up big, and what began as a wellness check on a friend ended up changing an organization and its members in a profound way as they exploded into a full blown mission control camped out in the field of a brewery rolling out convoys to help deliver supplies of food, fuel, formula, and at times lifesaving medicine that last mile to those who still hadn’t had contact with the outside world.

 What follows is a story of adapting and overcoming insurmountable challenges in the service of others.  It is further proof that in time of need there is an instinct that kicks in for all of us, an instinct to serve our fellow man and woman.
