Dex Calloway

chronic detour-taker

Dex writes about the places that make the detour worth it — whirligig fields, cave tours, and the roads that get you there.

He's been to most of the southeast's roadside oddities and still finds new ones. His reviews are warm and sensory, built around what you'll actually see and do, not a list of superlatives.

His one rule: never call something a 'must-see.' If it's that good, the drive will tell you.
