Well, it’s Tuesday and we have been back for a few days. I know I haven’t update daily. True be told, it’s because we were tired. After travelling over 2,500 miles driving, 4 hotels, like 9 states and whatnot, it could be well deserved. Or I could just be lazy. Either way. We finished off …

Day 10 – Omaha/Lincoln
Today was went to the Strategic Air Command and Aerospace Museum. It has a lot of planes and jets inside. It reminded me of the Air and Space Museum. We made it to Lincoln, home of the Nebraska Cornhuskers, today. Epp gave us a windshield tour of Nebraska’s capital and we go to see all …
Day 9 – Omaha
We finally made it to the Omaha. Didn’t see the Oracle. There also is no spoon. Today is officially our shortest day. We only had to travel 200 miles today. Yep. 200. We made it and were greeted at the hotel by Epp. He is an old high school friend of Ralph and Vaughn’s. He …
Day 8 – Kansas City
Today’s blog will be a short one. We left North Sioux City, SD and ended in Kansas City, MO. Not to be confused with Kansas City, KS. Apparently, not telling them apart is a big thing here. We came to Kansas City to pay tribute to those who have fallen and gave, as Abraham Lincoln …
Day 7 – Almost Made It

Day 5 – Keystone, SD
“If we must die today, let us die like men!” This was a quote from a Soldier at Little Big Horn. Today, we left Lavina, MT and made our way to Keystone, SD. Keystone is the home of Mount Rushmore. Today has also been a day of disappointment for me. After we left Lavina, we …
Day 4 – Cody, WY
Well, I can knock Wyoming off the list of states I have visited. We had a meal, it counts. Years ago, Betsey and I made a rule. You must eat a meal in a location for it to count as a visit. If you drive thru it or have a lay-over, it doesn’t count. So …
Day 3 – Cooke City, MT
You ever feel like you are going to die? I mean like really die. That was me yesterday. I am prone to motion sickness. I have a fear of heights. I really don’t appreciate my impending doom. ALL 3 OF THESE HAPPENED on yesterday’s adventure. We started out from the Ranch and headed towards …
Day 2 – Pompeys Pillar National Monument
Day 2 was a busy day. I learned new things, saw new things, and had a wonderful time with E-Z’s friends and family. Before I begin, I just want to write that when I compose these posts they are a free flow of information. I try to make it a point not to edit …
72 and you.
