Exploring Coronado National Forest, hiking sky islands, visiting military museums, and savoring local flavors in Bisbee. An adventure worth every step!
With a rainy day on tap, I headed into Tucson to visit the San Xavier Del Bac Mission, the Tucson Jewish Museum and Holocaust Center, and ate an Indian Taco that rocked!
On my way to Vermilion, SD, to deal with Internet challenges, I had to cross the Missouri River. I thought the overlook was a quick place for a photo, but it had a nature trail too.
A very cool welcome, sign stand along the side of the road as you roll into Wausa, NE. Sadly, the T-Mobile connection sucked and the restaurant with barbecue closed early!
An unexpected hidden gem of a national historic site! Like all sites in the national Park system this one is unbelievably well done and even has a full-time blacksmith.
Marysville is an adorable little town, and I headed out to walk around and see what I could see. I always love finding small towns that have figured out how to make themselves relevant.
There is only one barn remaining from the famous Pony Express, and it's right here in Marysville, Kansas, so there was no way I would miss this fabulous attraction from the Wild West.
Wandering and meandering on back roads and uncrowded highways allows me to find many unexpected and unusual sites, such as this historic trail marker and gravestone.
Unfortunately, the store was locked up, and I couldn't get inside, but at least the windows weren't too bad, and I could see inside. Maybe it'll be open next time.
Giovanni Maria de Agostini, often called "The Hermit," was an Italian mystic and healer who lived in a cave in Council Grove, Kansas, during the mid-1800s. I had to check out his home.
Enroute to Wichita, I had to make a stop in Dodge City. While I've been to the Boot Hill Museum a few times, it's still fun to take a step back in time and see what's new.
Walked in the ruts from the wagons that rolled along the famous Santa Fe Trail. It's crazy to think that people walked all the way across the American Plains.
