Gale and Judy took us on a month-long RV trip across the southern part of the United States in the summer of 2010. We went from Stanton to Dallas, to San Diego, up to L.A., over to Vegas, on across Southern Utah and Northern Arizona, through Denver and Kansas City, and ended the trip in St. Louis.

This year, the plan is to start in St. Louis, and Kansas City, then go north through Iowa and Minnesota, to Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Across the Badlands, through Montana and into Yellowstone National Park. Then back up through Idaho and Washington State to Seattle. Then down the coast of Oregon, through the Redwoods of Northern California, to San Fransisco. Over to Reno and Lake Tahoe, to Salt Lake City, to Cheyenne, Wyoming, across Nebraska, back to Kansas City, and we’ll end the trip once again in St. Louis.

No Webb Vacation would be complete without stopping at military museums. This was the Minuteman Nuclear Missile Launch Site. Had we gone to war with the Soviets during the Cold War, this is where some guy would have pushed the big red button that would have ultimately sent us all to oblivion.

The kids thought Mount Rushmore was okay…but thought a real gold mine was awesome!
