Steve & Donna's House (by Caleb)

-

After our precious RV park, we drove to a family's house to stay in their drive way for a few nights. This house was a Boonedockers Welcome home located in the small town of  Blair, Nebraska. The owners of the home were real nice and supplied free water and electricity and it was free to stay in their driveway. We unpacked and it felt a little awkward setting up in their driveway.

Steve and Donna were right next to a school so on the weekend we played over there.

There were a few days till Halloween and we were making our own costumes that year. I was making a bird-person from a videogame called The Legend of Zelda. I had to do a LOT of sewing for the wings and shirt and head. It didn't turn out half bad but didn't look completely like the one from the game.



After that we went to a Trunk-or-Treat. We walked around and got a good enough amount of candy to satisfy our sugary needs until Halloween.



Our state food for Iowa was Blue Bunny ice cream, so we drove over to their headquarters visitors center in Iowa and had a good time.     

The next day we left Steve and Donna's house to go to an RV park in Missouri. On the way we stopped at a restaurant to get some ribs as our Missouri food.

After all our experience with candy. I can confidently say that this sign is very true:

Food

As we traveled the country, we tried to experience local culture. We didn't have much time in each location, so we thought that one of the best ways to do this quickly was to partake of local foods. Therefore, in addition to our National Park theme , we also had a "local food" theme. As we hit each state, we ate a food famous in that state. Just an example; we didn't go off of this map We quickly came to realize that this is a very subjective endeavor. Before we started, I ignorantly assumed that each state would have one or two "famous" foods, making the selection process easy. Not true. First of all, most of what shows up on lists of foods by state is hardly "famous." It's more like "foods you will definitely find in this state and may or may not find elsewhere." Some states have a dozen such foods or more. Many states have the same "famous" foods (there is a lot of crossover with fruit and beef). Second, much of this food...

Lassen Volcanic National Park

We have officially entered the Pacific Ring of Fire. Well, we've technically been in it for the past few months while in California, but none of the parks we've been to have been related... until now. Starting with Lassen, we're about to hit multiple parks built around volcanos. Other than Mt. Saint Helens and that one in Hawaii that never stops, I would have been hard pressed to name another volcano that erupted in this country... ever. But sure enough, Mount Lassen erupted numerous times between 1915 and 1921, doing quite a bit of damage to the surrounding area (there is a section near the mountain called "the devastated area," which is humorous because it's all grown back and looks perfectly normal now). We've had remarkably good weather for our park days, but as you can probably tell from the picture above, that luck ran out at Lassen. I'm guessing a lot of it had to do with us being at elevation, but the entire day was chilly and foggy. If we look...

My Family's House (by Jordan)

-
It all started out with our adoption. We've been waiting for about 3 years to adopt a child. When my dad put the house on Zillow someone's wife wanted to buy it in 10 minutes. But the husband promised his wife a pool. So they didn't buy the house. There were a few others that I can't remember. But finally Melissa and Tim stepped up! They bought the house. We left March fifth. Tim and Melissa have a daughter named Brook. We are on March sixth now and we are enjoying our time at Poinsett State Park!
