Fun Stops and Side Trips Along Interstate 80 Highway Fun Stops and Side Trips Along Interstate 80 Highway Interstate 80 Highway runs along the upper portion of the United States from San Francisco, California to New York, New York and passes through Nevada, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Here are some of the highlights you can find along I-80. California Pacific Pinball Museum (Alameda) – Show your kids the old school version of video games. Kids of all ages will find fun and amusement in the relics of days gone by. Empire Mine State Historic Park (Grass Valley) - It would be impossible to think of California and not think of the Gold Rush. Hike, bike or horseback ride through the park and see much of the original owner’s cottage and mine buildings. Nevada Fleischmann Planetarium (Reno) – Stop and see the stars! This Planetarium is part of the University of Nevada, which offers public star shows and films inside their dome theater. Love Lock Plaze (Lovelock) – This may not be Lover’s Bridge in Paris, France, but it may be a close second. Lovers lock up their love (attach a padlock to a fence) and throw away the key. Unique way to display your love. Utah George S Eccles Dinosaur Park (Ogden) – Prehistoric giants come to life through the use of robotics and sound effects. See sculptures of crawlers, predators, marine animals and flying reptiles. Cool! Utah Olympic Park (Salt Lake City) – This venue was center stage for the 2002 Winter Olympics and still functions as a training facility for Olympic athletes. Fun to see a slice of Olympic history right in our own backyard. www.militarybyowner.com Advertising Homes for Sale or Rent Near US Military Bases 866.604.9126 Wyoming Cheyenne Gunslingers (Cheyenne) – Nothing like a real live Western show with gunslingers to entertain. Gunfights and western skits come to life in historic downtown Cheyenne. Nebraska German POW Camp (Concordia) – Site of where 300,000 German prisoners of war were held during World War II. A piece of history found in the heart of Nebraska. Strategic Air & Space Museum (Ashland) – 300,000 square feet of the best aviation has to offer and where the past inspires future generations to aim high. Iowa Herbert Hoover National Historic Site (West Branch) – Witness the humble beginnings of our 31st president. Born in a two-room cottage and orphaned at nine, he is quoted as referring to his birthplace as "physical proof of the unbounded opportunity of American life." Amazing Maize Maze® (Princeton) – Corn is plentiful in this portion of the country, so what better place than Iowa to experience the first ever cornfield maze. This should run off some of the pent up energy after a long day of driving. Illinois Mount Carmel Cemetery (Hillside) – A cemetery may not seem like a desired pit stop, but with famous gangsters such as Al Capone, the Genna Brothers and “Machine Gun” Jack McGurn buried there, it could be an interesting diversion from the highway. Navy Pier (Chicago) – Ah Chicago, what a city! There is certainly no shortage of sights and sounds, oh and flavors to take in while visiting Chicago, but be sure to visit the Navy Pier for boundless entertainment. Food, entertainment, shopping, street performers and so much more. This is one stop you won’t want to miss. www.militarybyowner.com Advertising Homes for Sale or Rent Near US Military Bases 866.604.9126 Indiana Michael Jackson’s House (Gary) – Visit the boyhood home of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Sounds like it may be a tamer version of Elvis’ Graceland. Notre Dame Stadium (South Bend) – The pride of South Bend is the University of Notre Dame and the pride of Notre Dame is their football team the “Fighting Irish”. Iconic structure in the world of college football. Ohio Merry-Go-Round Museum (Sandusky) – Merry-Go-Rounds light up the eyes and hearts of kids of all ages. The history of how colorful horses, brass rings and distinctive tunes all came together to create the iconic carousel are housed at this museum. A Christmas Story House and Museum (Cleveland) – Don’t worry, no one will be getting their eye shot out at this museum, but you can relive the fun moments of this Christmas classic by viewing original props and costumes, including the leg lamp and Randy’s snowsuit. Don’t miss an opportunity to pick up your own leg lamp at the gift shop. Pennsylvania Punxsutawney Weather Discovery (Punxsutawney) – There really is more to weather forecasting than having a ground hog see his shadow. The center offers something for everyone through interactive science exhibits. Yuengling (Pottsville) – Enjoy a tour of the oldest operating brewery in the United States. Tours of the brewery are free to the public. See the hand-dug fermentation caves that were used for storage prior to the invention of refrigeration. Of course, you must also sample the product while you are there. New York Statue of Liberty (New York) – The symbol of freedom and democracy that stands tall for all to see, this beautiful statue is something to behold. Ground Zero (Manhattan) – A sobering reminder of the events of September 11, 2001. www.militarybyowner.com Advertising Homes for Sale or Rent Near US Military Bases 866.604.9126 .

  • VPHS RCHPC Draft Essay Ri
    The Ridgeline and the Creek Landscape and Memory in Rapid City Executive Summary For millennia, the natural resources and allure of the Black Hills have drawn people to the region to hunt, explore, pray, recreate, and live in and around what is now Rapid City. The community sits where the open prairie meets rocky hills and thick forests. For generations, area residents have shaped their lives, in terms of both work and play, in response to the opportunities and limitations presented by these surroundings. High ridges on Skyline Drive and Cowboy Hill, flowing waters in Rapid Creek and Canyon Lake, and pine forests and grasslands fill the city limits. Rapid City’s scenery attracts visitors and transplants to the area. Although connections to place are articulated through different cultural and spiritual lenses, many residents feel a strong connection to the landscapes, waterscapes, and skyscapes in and around Rapid City. The settlement of Rapid City was part of the imposition of Euro-American land ethics onto the Northern Plains. Throughout Rapid City’s history, as in much of the American West, competition for land and natural resources has fueled tensions over public and private management, industry and development, and preservation and conservation. These tensions have shaped and reshaped the landscape even as natural forces have altered the environment through slow processes like erosion or climate change, as well as sudden disasters like floods, fires, and blizzards. The landscape that endures, reflected in public parks and open spaces, has played a critical part in building and sustaining community identity and character. In many cases, it has been preserved by private citizens and public policymakers at the behest of their constituents.

My sisters and I were so used to packing up and hitting the road in the family station wagon (later a minivan), that our childhood trips blur together. Oftentimes we visited our paternal grandparents in Sidney, Nebraska, or our maternal grandparents in Lincoln, Nebraska. But on special occasions we would take lengthy road trips that ended with destinations in the Appalachian Mountains, the Gulf of Mexico, Yellowstone National Park, and Myrtle Beach. As an ―East River‖ South Dakotan, driving six hours west to visit the Black Hills was hardly as exciting as going to the beach.

  • Dinosaur Tracks 2011
    The Early Cretaceous (late Berriasian) Bückeberg Formation in the southern Lower Saxony Basin, to Annette Richter, Mike Reich (Eds.) the west and to the south of Hannover, yields abundant and diverse dinosaur tracks, known since the late 1870s. After a few decades of pioneering and discovery, this area was scientifi cally neglected for a long time concerning dinosaur tracks and tracksites, and only single sporadic fi nds were reported in the second half of the 20th century. During 2007 and 2008, a new tracksite was discovered in Dinosaur Tracks 2011 Obernkirchen, yielding an astonishing amount of new and well-preserved dinosaur tracks, cared for by the Hannover State Museum and its cooperational partners. The present volume contains the An International Symposium, abstracts of lectures and posters presented during the Dinosaur Track Symposium 2011 as well as Obernkirchen, April 14-17, 2011 excursion and collection guides. On behalf of the Schaumburger Landschaft, this symposium was held at the medieval Stift Obernkirchen, Germany, from April 14th to 17th, 2011. Nearly one hundred Abstract Volume and Field Guide to Excursions palaeontologists, biologists, geologists and other scientists from sixteen countries participated. Annette Richter, Mike Reich (Eds.)
