So, we left Austin and headed west. There is a lot of desert between Texas and Arizona. To break up the drive a little we pulled over and explored the many abandoned buildings off the freeway. It's crazy how many failed businesses and towns there are along that stretch of…
Next up New Orleans… and just in time for the freak show that is Halloween. But first we had to stop by the National WWII Museum. Glad we did. The museum does a good job educating you about WWII, but also gave us both a better understanding of how much…
Stayed two nights in Nashville, TN and enjoyed lots of live music. Great place. The downtown Nashville scene gets busy super early… lines at 5PM. Got to spend some time with an old friend who was moving out of Nashville (heading to Detroit… wrong direction!). Next up we went to…
Another procrastinators post with a quick 5 state update… After NY we downgraded to the Jersey Shore. The MTV show “Jersey Shore” did a good job polishing that turd. It was pretty run down and had clientele to match. We had one of the “nicer” hotels in the area. Other…
4 state catch up post… we have been having too much fun to post. After New Hampshire we made it to Maine and did what typical tourists would do. We went out on a lobster boat and caught lunch. Picked the best lobsters out of the bunch… hauled them to…
After losing our shirts in PA we pointed the car towards Maine and drove through Vermont and New Hampshire. Pictures won’t do justice to the colors of the trees as they turn. Simply amazing scenery. On this leg of the trip we had a constant drizzly rain which made it…
It’s been awhile and we are a little behind on updates. We ended up going to the Harley Davidson Museum before leaving Wisconsin. They have a large collection from their history and we were able to roll some tandem scooter action. We headed out to Michigan and couldn’t find a…
We made it to Milwaukee. Spent two nights in the old Pabst Blue Ribbon Brewery building. One of the buildings is now an amazing hotel that has kept much of the history in tact (see the original copper kettles from the 1890’s). Can’t think of a better place to stay…
Went to Wisconsin and ate some cheese. Thought it would be cool to see the cows that the milk came from so it was off to a tour at the Hincheley’s farm. We not only got to milk a cow, and see one pee, but we also were able to…
Made it to Mt Rushmore. The picture says it all. Funny billboards out here… one of them pictured below on the way to Minnesota. Everything seems bigger out here, especially the chairs. Went to Summit Brewery in St. Paul, MN. The beer was OK… the tour was bleh. Steve still…
