There’s something pretty special about a path leading you through a redwood grove.

S marks the spot.

Had to make a return stop to one of the first “worlds largest” roadside attractions I visited that sparked so many of my roadtrip stops. -S t.co/mhLDCJgQc…

…and one poorly placed marker for the Center of the Nation t.co/vNA5c54P5…

We’ve also visited two competing claims to the Center of North America… t.co/UCvUPKlQX…

This viewpoint was once the center of a 780-acre National Park—perhaps the only one designated by a President (TR) and not Congress.

It was called Sully’s Hill National Park after—I shit you not—Gen Sully who failed to rendezvous with waiting troops here, as ordered. Odd choice. t.co/Frdmtdwiw…

Knife River Indian Villages NHS is next. The round Earthlodge is interesting (there is a replica lodge and the indentations are the foundations of former actual lodges). ##GoQuesting1002 (US National Parks); #GoQuesting1003 (US National Park Units) -J t.co/H7NL7RwXX…

A short stop at the confluence of the Missouri and Yellowstone Rivers (and the museum had a stuffed paddlefish). Then to Fort Buford, where Sitting Bull surrendered. -J t.co/PyDRPtKfn…

We checked out Fort Union Trading Post NHS—the one Unit where you can park in one state and walk over the state line to see the actual unit. ##GoQuesting1002 (US National Parks); #GoQuesting1003 (US National Park Units) . -J t.co/AhWB2gTof…

Who doesn’t like a little Tommy the Turtle? The biggest turtle riding the biggest snowmobile. -J t.co/lXiWxTApQ…

Then it was on to meet @MeToddScott at the International Peace Garden. Two friends meet for the first time IRL, shaking hands across the Canada/US boundary. t.co/BThj5syoO…

And of course we stopped at W’eel Turtle. -J t.co/bb68xhINT…

Next stop was the former National Park of Sully’s Hill, which is now a game reserve. -J t.co/usvPM8HDg…

Jen finished a quest today! She has now visited all 50 states…twice! North Dakota was her last state. Fitting it’s at the best brewery. #Lostneededdirections t.co/tN5I2taTQ…

Next adventure-the Dakotas! North Dakota is so confusing we needed to stop immediately for directions #lostneededdirections t.co/GZyF0TEPf…

And a little of Headwaters Forest Reserve, with a banana slug to boot! A fun few days! t.co/OiXxFd6Mw…

A little bit of Redwoods National Park… t.co/PbSicXaMK…

A little Oregon coast… t.co/FvFlH4eZD…

Unfortunately the coast is confusing and we got #lostneededdirections several times! -J t.co/EGBzadTJe…
