Nebraska – Departing Thoughts

August 18th, 2015

Nebraska, the greatest curse about the state ended up being one of its best features, that there is nothing around for miles on end.  It means driving for hours just to roll into a small town that really has no business existing except that it’s a hub for all the farmers around.  But with that […]

Minnesota – Departing Thoughts

August 12th, 2015

Minnesota is known as the land of 10,000 lakes and I’m willing to bet they missed a few when counting.  With highways bending around the lakes and through the land, I wonder if this is where little red riding hood’s grandma may live?  It was also a great change of pace to be submerged in […]

Grand Teton National ParkThis place was beautiful, and though my time […]
