Here is a really cool "bridge" in Lethbridge, Alberta--Canada's windiest (and sunniest) city.  This picture doesn't really do the scene credit--and looks a lot better if one is travelling the other way. . . .

   This is Laura at the welcoming center at Milk River, Alberta.  I told her to watch out, or the dino-dude was going to "take a dump" on her.  That didn't go over so well. . . .

   Rugby, North Dakota--the geographical center of North America.  Whoo-peeee.

   And here, finally, is a picture of me in Menomonie, Wisconsin.  I am standing beneath a sign touting "Laura Ingalls Wilder" information.  (I was a very avid Laura Ingalls Wilder fan--who wasn't? :) ) The directions on how to get here were absolutely _ABYSMAL_.  It was here that I learned that "Pa's Fiddle" was a real-life object.  (!)

   That is the end of my pictorial journey from Fairbanks, Alaska to Duncannon, Pennsylvania.  After having taken the trip twice, my advice to anyone and everyone is: FLY--even the Yukon looks all right at 24,000 ft.  :)
