Here for you the next time you need a nice mountainous region for a setting. ;)

My first Backstreet pilgrimage was when Brian and Kevin were inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame. The ceremony happened to be during my spring break, so I decided to road trip down there with my two BSB friends who live in Illinois. We drove around Lexington and saw all the Brian sites - creeped around the parking lot of Tates Creek High School and ate at Long John Silver's, basically LOL - and then we drove up to Cathedral Domain, the camp Kevin's dad used to run, which was really cool.
Then Rose and I took a road trip to Knoxville, TN a few years ago to go to a convention that Nick, AJ, and Howie were appearing at, and we drove back by way of Lexington so she could do the unofficial Kentucky Cousin tour with me too. And thank god I had been there before because our phones both lost signals in the hills where Kevin's camp is, which is total backwoods Kentucky, and I had to rely on my memory of which way to turn to get us out of there. Our team-building activity was driving up and down this winding mountain road in the pouring rain with "Dueling Banjos" playing and praying we didn't die or get lost LOL.
Oh, and then we went to the Creation Museum on the way home so we could laugh at the exhibits of the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve chilling with velociraptors (because the Earth is only 4,000 years old so humans and dinosaurs totes coexisted). I locked my keys in my car in the parking lot, which I had literally never ever done before and have never done since. As we waited for AAA to come and unlock the car, the sky got blacker and blacker, and then a massive thunderstorm chased us all the way back to Illinois. Pretty sure that was God smiting us for mocking the Creation Museum. But hey, we made it back in one piece, and my faith in God has been reaffirmed. That was a team-building experience too. LOL

I enjoy that you creeped on Brian's high school and nearly avoided a smiting for mockery. lmao
Navigating without instructions does sound like team building. Cathedral Domain looked beautiful in the doc.
The best part of the retreats I used to go on was that we always planned a secret activity based on a price point. One year we went dog sledding! I wonder if there's any Backstreet-related secret activities.

Me too, Rose! I did not explicitly state that, so I felt like I should go back and do so.
--- Quote from: RokofAges75 on February 25, 2021, 07:59:20 PM ---Nick stories will always be in vogue! Mine is technically a Kevin & Nick one, and so is Tracy's.

I'll rephrase. I hear Nick & Kevin stories are the trend these days. ;)
And here I was hoping that I was earning rebel status, haha.

Wow, dog-sledding! There's an activity I never would have thought to do. Sounds cold, but fun.
Rose:
LMAO yes. And did we learn anything from God trying to smite us? Nope we were joking about how we shouldn't mock God. Mocking God about mocking him. That museum though, holy shit. The fact people actually believe in it makes my brain hurt lol. You can be religious but science can be real too.

It was both of those things! But really neat! I also didn't know you could go dog sledding outside of Alaska, so something new to learn.

The velociraptors probably tipped him off.
