On the Road Home

Today we started for home.  At the end of the day, we are 600 miles closer than we started out.  


We talked today about our favorite parts of the trip and both came to the conclusion that to pick just one is impossible.  There are so many memorable moments about our trip, each equally as meaningful.  


We learned so much about the areas we visited, the flora and fauna.  And so much more about ourselves.  We look forward to seeing the areas again very soon.


Here's an idea: Tell us what is your favorite part of the trip?  Let us know.  If you like, you can email us and not have to sign up:

pscansetzer@aol.com

We felt it prudent to reroute our trip due to some of the flooding SD and IA are experiencing.  We had the two hour detour going out and really didn't want to repeat that part of the trip.  Plus it gave us the chance to see some of the country we had never been to.  We decided to travel through Minnesota and Wisconsin, making our way to Indiana tomorrow.


Another day of big miles await us in the morning.  On to Indiana to see family and take in Conner Prairie, an interactive history park,  representing life on the prairie during the move westward of our great nation.


PS:  Concerning the Lewis and Clark - Corps of Discovery. . . I have found that more people are becoming intrigued with this part of our history.  I have often wondered what it would take to retrace their steps - to read their journals at the same (as close as possible) place.  To see what they saw would truly be a connection to our past, with their determination as motivation for our future endeavors.

Didn't want a day to go by without an awesome picture!

Good night friends.  Know that we are safe and secure, and hope that you are too.
