A Journey Back In Time…and to Notre Dame
In 1992 I took a road trip with a good friend to the Midwest to visit family and friends, Notre Dame and Purdue. I then wrote about it for the college newspapers. I thought I would share.

The West is the Best, but it is so much more that makes this country amazing!
The West is the Best, Man: Yosemite Gallery
Yosemite is nothing short of a religious experience.

Like many before us, Ben and I discovered the magic Of being on the road and seeing this great country with our own eyes.

I dreamed of being back at the Grand Canyon. I never dreamed how perfect it would be.
The West is the Best, Man: Pacific Coast and Redwoods Gallery
The scenery and fresh air of the rocky Pacific Coast and the Redwoods was breath taking!

We had candy, snacks, and coffee from one of the beacon-like gas stations that were like oases on the long, quiet stretches, and we just sat happily and watched the United States roll past our windows.
