Adventures With Purpose…I’m obsessed!

Remember the story from Nashville where 40+ cars were pulled out of lakes and rivers in the Nashville area? I was fascinated by that story and the story behind the guys that pulled the cars out of the rivers and lakes.

The group is called, Adventures With Purpose. They definitely have a purpose! The group has been cleaning up the environment…rivers and lakes around the country by removing the discarded cars, but they’ve helped solve all kinds of cold cases and missing persons cases.

The have so many purposes, Adventures With Purpose has given many families closure on missing loved ones, made the world a cleaner place to live, have shown kindness and compassion to people and the good in human beings.

The way I see it, every vehicle, boat, bicycle, pair of sunglasses…they all have a story to why and how they got into the body of water! Sometimes we don’t get that story, but it all has a story about how it got there in the first place.

They once found a classic Jag under water!

That Jag has a story! The guys don’t know or get that story, but I’m going to make one up in my head.

The once found a helicopter!

I mean, lots of interesting finds, good times!  Lots of answers for family members of missing loved ones…sad times. But these guys put their heart and soul into this mission! Check out their Youtube channel!

Now, I’m off to buy an Adventures With Purpose t-shirt
