We toured the numerous levels and countless exhibits. It was actually quite surprisingly fun. I won’t say that...

Day 73 - 6/26 A wonderful driving day! We stopped in Cuba this morning for gas. Brett’s always wanted to go to Cuba but he says that Cuba, New York will not count. Then there was a sign for the town of Bolivar. We considered going but it was 11 miles from the highway - we laughed though, because...

Day 63 - 6/16 - South Dakota is big! Big and diverse. It is natural and beautiful but all kitschy and full of tourist road traps.
