I have been in Downtown Chicago for the past few days, but have not had access on a free internet connection. I will update with many more pictures once I gain access to one.

Day 4 Continued…

Here is a short video clip I filmed of Dealy Plaza, shot from the Grassy Knoll. This also happens to be in the general vicinity where Abraham Zapruder captured on his famous film footage, President Kennedy’s untimely demise.

Day 4 - Dallas, TX to Memphis, TN

Now we’re caught up. Today was spent at Dealy Plaza in Dallas where we visited the spot where John F. Kennedy was assasinated. Following that, we headed over to the book depository where Lee Harvey Oswald supposed fired those fatal shots and transformed a small street in Texas into a historical landmark. After our walk through the book depository, we got back into the truck and drove clear through the state of Arkansas and arrived in Memphis, TN, where I am currently updating to you now.

Day 3 - Roswell, NM to Dallas, TX

Upon waking on Thursday morning, we packed our bags and headed onto the open road, but not beore taking a visit to Roswell’s famed International UFO Museum and Research Institute. Within the confines of this nondescript building are housed hundreds of artifacts and curios that have been tied to the supposed 1947 UFO crash landing in the desert surrounding the town. We slowly made our way through the exhibit and then finally hit the road. We pulled out of the museum parking lot and made a right onto the highway that led us straight into the heart of Texas. The drive was fairly uneventful and we eventually rolled into Dallas, TX around 9:00pm that night.

Day 2 Continued…

Day 2 - Tuscon, AZ to Tombstone, AZ to Roswell, NM

Sorry for the lack of updates. I haven’t really had access to an internet connection, but I’ve got some pictures to help you catch up to us on our travels. Since then we’ve gone a long way East, but I’ll take you through one city at a time.

On Wednesday morning we woke up bright and early and left Tuscon/Benson, AZ, taking a quick drive to Tombstone, AZ where we were able to experience a snapshot of the once-great historic mining town. Among the historic sights were the Birdcage theatre, the OK Corrall, Boot Hill, Allen Street, the Epitaph, and many others. The weather was hot but, fortunately, we were still West enough where the humidity hadn’t set in yet.

Following our short stay in Tombstone, we prepared ourselves for the long journey ahead through the desert to Roswell, NM. It was initially hot, but the heat let up as we raised in elevation, climbing a number of small peaks and canyon vistas along the way. It seemed as though we were followed by a small storm and got some rain and lighting along the way as well.

As we entered New Mexico through HWY 180, the desolation seemed to stretch infinitely in every direction as our small truck rumbled along alone through the winding, haunting countryside. By dusk, we had finally reached the relatively flat expanse of the desert again and passed by the VLA, or Very Large Array. This facility houses over two dozen large satellite arrays that are pointed towards the vast expanses of the New Mexico sky.

We pushed on through the darkness for many more hours before we rolled into Roswell at 0 dark thirty early on Thursday morning.

Day 1 - Los Angeles, CA to Tuscon, AZ

Left Los Angeles today at around 3:30pm and made a quick stop in Cabizon to look at the dinosaurs. Headed out to Phoenix, AZ where we stopped for dinner at a Cracker Barrel. Food was good. Drove through Tuscon to Benson, AZ where we are staying. Tired. Sleep now.

I might add that the entire reason we are going on this trip is because our good friend Shay is getting married in Chicago to his fiance Suzie, who is from there. Congrats to the both of them.

Here is a picture of Shay.
