"You're going where?"

One of the best things about America is its constant change in geography as you travel between its borders.  We will be commenting on our travels for the next couple of months.

Our trip will concentrate on the northern parts of our mid-west.  We will cross back and forth from a trail made by the Lewis and Clark Expedition as we take our trip northward up into the North Dakota area.  We will travel back and forth over the mighty Mississippi River from St. Louis up until it becomes so narrow in Minnesota that Nancy will be able to step over it.

Photos will be added of interesting stops we make and perhaps some un-interesting ones as well.   To make this happen in a positive way we will be trying to stay off of as many Interstate Highways as possible.  We both believe it might be refreshing to come to an intersection in the back end of American where MacDonalds, Wendys, Burger King, Checkers, Pizza Hut or Arbys ARE NOT side-by-side.

Our plans are to cover around 5,000 miles in our Honda Odyssey.  So if you might like to read along with our road ramblings please feel free to do so.  And of course, your comments are welcome as well.

  1. The highlight of this trip may be the potential of seeing Bill's favorite brother's 1st grandchild due in early July. Since Brother Bill and sister in law Nancy will be visiting his brother sometime in June, there is an outside shot that the baby could be early and see his great uncle and great aunt for the first time. A truly exiting opportunity for the unnamed tyke yet to be born.
