We just spent two weeks on the mother of all road trips and it was great. Over 4000 miles and 11 states in those 14 days. Kase and Vard kept it more than interesting and I know Kase loved the trip because every time he climbed back in the car he would say " that was my favorite". We got to stay with the Specht's in Lincoln for a couple of days and thanks to Makaley's prayers, the weather was great. We saw our first fireflies and found out that Iowa is one big corn field with some soy beans for spacing every so often. We saw beautiful country in almost every state. We had an unplanned event in going through Sturgis S.D. during the biggest motorcycle gathering of the year. You can't imagine the number of motorcycles (and other things) we saw for two days. No wonder we had to go to Chadron, Ne. just to find a vacant motel. Nauvoo was more than beautiful and 2 and 1/2 days was not enough. When you go, plan on at least 3 days there. We went to Independence Mo., and Adam-ondi-Ahman and finished at Liberty Jail. Oops, I missed Carthage Jail in there.
Following the Mormon Trail back to Salt Lake was amazing as we saw Chimney Rock, Independence Rock, Register Rock, (lots of rocks on the trail) Martin's Cove, Rocky Ridge, and Rock Creek. Dave and Kay Freeman were our guides at the last sites as they are serving there mission there. So much to say that it will have to come at later times and places. Hope the pictures make this copy.
