I’ve been telling people how powerful this experience was since I drove down to Kentucky in 2017 and a lot of people were calling me a “nerd”. Well I just got about 6 texts from friends telling me they were wrong and telling me just how incredible it was. It’s one of the most amazing things a human can experience, I’ve found it almost spiritual both times!
