Re-launch of SmartBeetle

In preparation for the 10yr anniversary of the SmartBeetle trip around the fringe of America, I’ve just started the re-launch of the SmartBeetle.com site! While there are only 8 days of travels up so far, I hope to get at least a page or two of the journey a day uploaded over the next 2 weeks.
