What started as a simple vacation for Dave Sechrist

With apologies to the Energizer Bunny©, the Sechrists starting mapping out their trip and, before they knew it, “just kept going and going and going.” “It started simple and just grew into a monster,” Sechrist half-jokingly said. What resulted was a 17-day, 5,686-mile trip where the Sechrist’s 2002 Dodge Durango pulled the family camper through 12 states en route to their vacation destinations. The family’s initial plan was to visit Mount Rushmore in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Then Devils Tower and Little Bighorn battlefield monuments in Montana were added to the journey because Sechrist is a “history fanatic” who couldn’t resist including these stops on the trip. Looking at a map, Sechrist and his family realized that Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks in Wyoming were less than 300 miles from there, so they, too, were added as destinations. “My wife, Tricia, asked if we would be close to the Grand Canyon, and I said no,” said Sechrist, who is employed as a graphics specialist at The Criterion. “Then I realized that 650 miles to the Grand Canyon [from Yellowstone] is a darn sight closer than 1,600 miles Old Faithful erupts every 60 to 75 minutes and is a spectacular One of many mountain streams rushes down the mountainside from Indianapolis, so one more stop!” sight that draws thousands of tourists to Yellowstone National at Yellowstone National Park.

They are members of St. Paul the Apostle Parish in Greencastle. When all was said and done, the Sechrist clan’s journey had taken them through parts of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Kansas and Missouri. Not surprisingly, the family’s list of stops is impressive. “We visited nine national parks or monuments,” he said.

Rome: Where old is relative Why is Rome known as the “Eternal City” throughout the world? The credit lies in part because it was established more than 2,700 years ago. For nearly two millennia, Rome has also been the heart of the Catholic Church, which proclaims a timeless Gospel. The sheer weight of Rome’s history can easily over- whelm American visitors. And yet the church building that houses those massive of Christ, making the 1,500-year-old Basilica of St. Mary Upon entering the Basilica of St. Mary Major, for Counter Reformation-era altars and statues was constructed Major look young by comparison. example, visitors can admire beautiful gilded adornments a full 1,000 years earlier.
