I'm in Tulsa, OK, on Day 36 of my road trip. Today, I visited the Bob Dylan Center and the Woody Guthrie Center, which are in the same building. Bob liked it and agreed to have his "Center" here also. Bob has a contentious relationship with his hometown of Hibbing, MN. But many people do that! For some reason, my computer decided I wasn't supposed to include pictures here today, so you will have to take my word for it! Before I left on this trip, I purchased a keyboard-mouse combination that connects via Bluetooth, and that doesn't work very well either. You are probably laughing that the "computer guy" has technical problems, too! Tomorrow, I'm moving on, and I'm not sure how far I'll get. I hope to get near Independence, MO, so I can visit President Harry Truman on Saturday. Tomorrow, I plan to visit several Route 66 stops and see the Fort Scott National Historic Site in Kansas. Ok, I'm not having a good "computer day" today. :( So this is a kind of grab bag post! Back at ya soon! "Go for the Gusto!” Classic Rock song: "I’ve Been Everywhere” by Johnny Cash!

A h Greetings, adventurers! Ready to step back in time? Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado is a breathtaking destination where history and nature collide. Famous for its incredible cliff dwellings, this UNESCO World Heritage site offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the Ancestral Puebloans who lived here over 700 years ago. 🏜️⛰️ I visited this park and plan to write a post about it later. Here’s a picture of the park. The park’s iconic cliff dwellings, like Cliff Palace and...
Greetings, beach lovers! I’m continuing my recurring theme of telling you about the best beaches in the US. Nantucket's beaches are calling your name if you dream of soft sand, sparkling waves, and breathtaking sunsets. This charming island off the coast of Massachusetts is home to some of New England's most beautiful and serene beaches. 🌅🐚 From Children's Beach's calm, family-friendly shores to Madaket Beach’s wild, windswept beauty, there’s a perfect spot for everyone. Whether you want to...
The longest road in the world is called the Pan-American Highway! The highway runs (unofficially) from Deadhorse, AK, to Ushuaia, Argentina. That’s from North America's northern-most drivable point to South America's southern-most drivable point! It’s about 19,000 miles and passes through 14 countries. I considered this when looking for a comparison for my 8,900-mile road trip, which I completed about ten days ago. The Pan-Am isn’t a specific road and isn’t officially recognized in the US and...
