Road Trip Through the Midwest US

Seeing the Sights Along I-70 and I-80

​We just returned from an 11-day road trip from Chicago to Colorado and back - driving 2,750 miles -  on I-70 going out and on I-80 coming back.

  - Cross at the Crossroads: America’s Largest Cross
  - Kaskaskia Dragon
  - Combat Air Museum
  - Kansas Cosmosphere
  - Monument Rocks
  - World's Largest Easel
  - Cripple Creek and Victor Gold Mining Areas
  - Garden of the Gods
  - United States Air Force Academy
  - Wings of Change Statue
  - Statue of Liberty Replica
  - Heartland Museum of Military Vehicles
  - Strategic Air Command and Aerospace Museum
  - Iowa 80 – World’s Largest Truck Stop
  - Retro Rocket Ship
  - Moai Dude
  - Rock Island Arsenal Atomic Cannon, National Cemetery and Confederate Cemetery

​As always I took far too many photos - so I'll start posting them in the next day or two.
