Go, See, Do, Experience!
The Williston, North Dakota, city event webpage is one of the best laid out information given that I have ever seen. Among the other things we found, and did, (see last week's post) I saw Sweetcorn & Quilt Festival. Of course “quilt” caught my eye! Turns out this is a youth camp that started in...

Continuing to follow the Lewis & Clark Trail, our Travel Day took us from Riverdale, North Dakota to Williston, North Dakota. I read out loud our new book that we bought after being at Fort Mandan last week. It is Waheenee, an Indian girl’s story told by herself to Gilbert L Wilson back in 1920s.... Continue Reading →
Dear Reader: I have a question for you and would like your feedback in answer. The question is at the end of this blog post. GUESS WHAT: 1/2 way of the Missouri River is Bismarck, ND, at 1170.5 miles. Full length of that river is 2341 miles. We continue to see prairie land, flat land... Continue Reading →
Check in is at 4:00 p.m. at Corps of Engineer’s Left Tailrace Campground, Fort Thompson, South Dakota. With less than 4 hours drive on this Travel Day, we had plenty of time. The other day I decided to do grocery shopping this morning in Sioux City, IA. It worked out great! Since we will be... Continue Reading →
Seaman Showing Us The Info, Omaha, NE 06/26 Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail in Omaha. We crossed over the Missouri River and went downtown. We got parked and went into the building. The directions said it was Region 3, 4, 5. Well, this place was an art building but the ladies nicely told us... Continue Reading →

Check in at Lake Manawa State Park campground, Council Bluffs, Iowa, wasn’t until 4:00 p.m. We were here by 1:15 p.m. So we found a place to do our grocery shopping for the... Continue Reading →
On the way home (footnoted 1) from a 4 hour drive to our sister-in-law’s birthday party, in Missouri, we drove along Hwy 36 over the Mississippi River to the Illinois side and down south along the river. At Hamburg, right along the river, we could see where it flooded the other day when we were... Continue Reading →
Travel Day: The drive north out of Little Rock, Arkansas, was only on the freeway for a short time and then highway 65. This road goes through small towns and we quite enjoyed it. Some places have tight and narrow roads with no shoulder, though. There are places where the trees open up into meadows,... Continue Reading →
William J Clinton Presidential Library and Museum is in downtown Little Rock, Arkansas, and it was built there to help the economy in that area. Parking is free and tickets are $12.00 each. Like other similar places, lots of docents around to greet, inform, and direct. When told about the video, we asked if it... Continue Reading →
We got to my uncle and aunt’s house around 9:30 a.m. for another day of adventure. They drove us in their car to downtown Dallas to The 6th Floor Museum. I had been here with my family when I was young. It is the Texas School Book Depository, where Lee Harvey Oswald shot President John... Continue Reading →
