#101 Virginia
The Bargo Brothers travel from sea to summit on their trip to Virginia. They start their trip with a walk along the boardwalk of Virginia Beach. They meet their local guest, Don Mann, former Seal Team 6 member and instructor. He takes them to the Navy Seal monument and takes them through an obstacle course. The brothers head to Richmond for a quick stop off at the American Civil War Museum, and then complete the day with a stop off for some down- home cooking at The Homeplace restaurant. They meet back up with Don Mann to climb Mt. Rogers, the highpoint of Virginia.

They start their trip off with a behind-the-scenes tour of Johnson Space Center where they meet their guest, Astronaut Scott Parazynski—the only person on the planet to summit Mt. Everest and visit space. The brothers then make their way west, making stops along the way including a visit to the colorful Mi Tierra restaurant in San Antonio. They continue on to McDonald Observatory to get an adventurous perspective of the massive telescopes with their good friend and telescope engineer, Emily Mrozinski. They finish off their trip to the Lone Star state with a scenic climb up the Texas highpoint with Dr. Scott Parazynski.
