Road Trip 2025

Visited the George Washington Carver National Monument in Newton County, Missouri. It was founded by Franklin Delano Roosevelt July 14, 1943. Watched a video about his life, including a depiction of a congressional Committee meeting where he was requesting a tariff on imported peanuts to assist local farmers develop their crops.  

Have to admit, I am not good at stopping to get pictures on these trips.  The sites I have planned to visit are from a 'Virtual Walk' I started in 2020 (almost done), from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Washington Monument. Most of the sites selected by the creators of this walk are best seen from the trail. Unfortunately, for some of them there was no place to park at the side of the road to see the site. In other cases, the walk to the 'main event' was more that I could handle.  In fact, the base of Burgess is accessible by canoe or kayak. Burgess Falls is a Tennessee State Park.  https://tnstateparks.com/parks/burgess-falls
