Volume 31, Number 33 Thursday, August 27, 2015 The Ultimate American Road Trip Local Man Visits 48 States in 29 Days by Kayla Weiss

hen he was 14, Michigan City native Nick Barbknecht moved in with foster parents he describes as the most gen- Werous one could hope to meet. Over the years, he’s also worked pretty much non-stop. That’s why an experience called “The Ultimate American Road Trip” seemed like the perfect opportunity to give himself a break and see the country, all the while promoting awareness about the world’s orphans. The idea for “The Ultimate American Road Trip” was inspired by doctoral student Randal Olson, who charted the fastest route through the conti- nental United States. Tracy Staedter of Discovery News suggested to Olson that each state stop be a national natural landmark, national historic site, national park or national monument, making it the fastest site-seeing route through 48 states, and over the course of 14,000 miles. Barbknecht, 24, who attends Michigan City Christian Church, formerly worked with the Indiana Department of Transportation and now is a client-service manager with RQAW Corp, a consulting and en- gineering ﬁ rm in Portage, but based out of Indianapolis. To participate in “The Ultimate American Road Trip,” he took one month off from work. Before embarking on his journey, he planned everything in immense detail, even al- lowing himself a spare day as a buf- fer in case he ended up running late somewhere along the way. Not only did he plan out each of his day’s des- tinations, but he also had friends who planned ﬂ ights around him so they could partake in different parts of his journey. He also created a GoFundMe account. Any funds do- Nick Barbknecht at the Wright Brothers Memorial. nated to it, beyond the costs of gaso- Continued on Page 2 THE Page 2 August 27, 2015

Some of the stops included Yellowstone Na- tional Park in Wyoming, Pike’s Peak in Colorado, Carlsbad Caverns National Park in New Mexico, The Platt Historic District in Oklahoma, Toltec Mounds in Arkansas, Elvis Presley’s Graceland in Tennessee, Vicksburg National Military Park in

Road Trip Continued from Page 3 Mississippi and the famous French Quarter in New Orleans. By the middle of his trip, he had seen more sights than one person could hope to in one lifetime. During the last leg of the trip, he visited notable places such as the Wright Brothers National Memo- rial Visitor Center, Mount Vernon, the White House, the Liberty Bell, the Statue of Liberty and Mam- moth Cave National Park. These were places he’d always heard about and learned about in school, but never thought he would visit...until he accepted the 30-day cross-country challenge.

He’s also the only person to travel this 48-day sce- nic route in fewer than 30 days. “This has truly been an experience I will never forget,” Barbknecht said. “While not all of the stops were ones that I would necessarily like to see again, many of them were unimaginable and completely unforgettable. I could have stayed forever.” (Visit Nick Barbknecht’s travel blog at http://park- srecreation.in/ for more information about his trip.)

In front of the White House. While many states offered well-known attractions, Barbknecht also had the pleasure of visiting many sites most people do not know about, including the C.W. Parker Carousel Museum in Kansas, the Terrace Hill Governor’s Mansion in Iowa, the Fort Union Trading Post in North Dakota, the Cra- ters of the Moon National Monument in Idaho, the Okefenokee Swamp Park in Georgia and the Fox Theatre in Michigan. “On the whole, it was a great experience – once in a lifetime, and I wouldn’t trade that for anything,” Barbknecht said. “Some states didn’t have much to see compared to others, but that’s OK. I’ve seen what I needed to see, and now I can say that I’ve seen it all. “In fact, right at the beginning of my trip,” he continued. “I ended up at the Carousel Museum in Kansas. Apparently, it’s the national headquarters for carousels. As soon as I got there, I could hear cheesy carny music playing, and they made me watch a 15-minute documentary on carousels before taking me on the rest of the tour.” Barbknecht returned home July 25, one day before his 30-day deadline. While he didn’t reach his fundraising goals for Hippo Valley, he was still pleased with the national press and viewership he At the Mount Washington Hotel in New Hampshire.

Aug. 15 marked their last night, and they were docked in Trail Creek before heading back to Chicago. The ship is a former yard-patrol vessel used by the U.S. Navy at Annapolis to train midship- men.

So now, Mr. Columnist, you need to come up with not only your fi rst column, but a name for it as well. I talked it over with Sue and told her I wanted to call it “What’s Cooking.” Fellow Baby Boomers know that back in the day, what’s cooking meant “What’s up?” “What’s going on?” I liked the idea that this title didn’t lock me into anything in particular. Great! Now I have a title for the column, but what was I going to write about and, most importantly, what could I write about that people would want to read? In one way or another, food and recipes always are part of the column, but I wanted my thoughts to be something more than just a column that posts At the Bridge of Eternal Love. recipes...but how?

I am glad it brings back memories. Let me share a story with you. We were having dinner at one of our favorite downtown spots when we noticed two ladies across the room kind of looking over at us and talking. We ended up leaving the restaurant at the same time as them. When I held the door open for them, they asked me, “Aren’t you Jim LaRocco?” I replied in the affi rmative. “We just love your column and look forward to it,” they said. I told them I appreciated that. One of the ladies said she sends the column to her niece, who lives out of town. I mentioned thebeacher.com and told her the website is in “living Serving a meal at Sharing Meadows. THE August 27, 2015 Page 29 We went back to those thrilling days of yesteryear when we searched the garbage and alleys for pop bottles. We would turn those treasures into cash to buy candy, pop or ice cream. We also talked about those great little neighborhood grocery stores and bakeries. I remember going to Parry’s/Tenth Street Bakery with my dime and getting a carton of milk and two long johns for breakfast right before class started. There were stories of hot summer nights — before central air in houses — when my father would load us up in his Studebaker for a drive to the lakefront, stopping for a root beer or an ice cream treat along the way. We took a walk to the beach and stopped at the root beer stands along the way. We would spend all day there getting home just in time for supper. I can still see Fred Stern sweeping the sidewalk in front of his men’s clothing store before it opened. All of the owners seemed to know every kid. Who can forget the popcorn wagon on the northeast corner of Eighth and Franklin streets across from Sears? We talked about the 8th Street Cafe.

THE August 27, 2015 Page 37 Museum Member Honored Ronald Ahrens, Three Oaks, Mich., was one of two people to receive the 2015 Michigan Heritage Award during a special ceremony earlier this month in East Lansing, Mich. Ahrens is a member of The Region of Three Oaks Museum. He fi rst began to learn lacemaking from his grandmother at 5. Several family members prac- ticed other fi ber art techniques, so he was able to learn from them as well. He became profi cient in knitting, cro- cheting, bobbin lacemaking, tat- ting, broderet and fi let netting. Over the years, he shared his skills and knowledge with family, friends and community members, and often can be found teaching fi ber art techniques and leading demonstrations at community functions. The Michigan Heritage Award was presented to him for his exceptional skill in the art of lacemaking, his willingness to freely share his skills and knowledge with others and his example as a committed teacher of needlework arts. The museum, 5 Featherbone Ave., will host a reception Saturday, Oct. 3. Ahrens will demonstrate his skills from noon to 2 p.m. EDT, followed by a :NMHuAHF>u;NLBG>LLuEB?>uA>:EMA special recognition ceremony from 2 to 4 p.m. EDT.
