Umm..did you bring the kitties AND the parakeet in the same vehicle? Just curious! ?????ÿ

Where are the Hamsters, the dog, the Ferret, and the Aquarium?

haha no, the kitties are in one car, parakeets in the other -- we're not THAT crazy! We put a tree branch in the backseat for the sloth and filled the floor of the trunk with water for the snapping turtles. As for the cheetah, he seems content following us on the freeway, and the baboons are enjoying their own rental car.

Never been to Buffalo...

Back in the day; never had a bad taco; was there in 2019, and it was ok, not the same as 1980.

THRAC alert:

Is it wrong to tell kids while you're drive north along I84 and as you approach the sign for the 45th parallel and shout

"Look kids we're halfway to where Santa lives!!!"

Just asking for a friend.

@wendell

Assuming Angel is the "Navigator General" if y'all see one of these on the roadside for cripes sake turn around.......You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind. A journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop....???????ÿ

@jitterboogie If you tell that to the kids, I want to know what the heck you were doing with them at the equator.

We did a cross country trip in 1968-1969 from Poughkeepsie to Chula Vista and back (listened to the Jets beat the Colts in SB III on the way back up the East Coast). I swear mom had dad stop at each and every Stuckeys we saw, got so sick of those Pecan Candies.

The Burma-Shave company does not exist today but the current owner does have some products named Burma-Shave.

Fair.

I was kinda sticking to the natural location of the northern hemisphere, but you are correct, I didn't scope that well in my THRACness.

Not my kids.

I'm kidless.

Hence the asking for a friend.

Once they reach Murdo, SD they will be driving on the only part of I-90 we have driven on.?ÿ We went as far west as the Rapid City area then headed south to Three Surveyors and Some Other Guy.?ÿ Hope they take a few minutes to explore Wall Drug in Wall, SD.

I wanted to stop in Wall, but...We really can't stop anywhere or visit anyone or anything because of the cats and parakeets. It sucks! So many people I wanted to see along this trip! ????

But...we are going to try to get our asses up early tomorrow and go to Mt. Rushmore. The kid will stay here at the hotel with the animals and we'll have a small time frame in which we can go up there and back. ????
