Getting There - Travel Update



We're 7 days, 1529 miles, into our journey to Alaska. We crossed the Mississippi River today and are currently in Jackson, MN, having left MA 7 days ago, traveling through NY, PA, OH, IN, IL, and WI on the way here. So far the weather has been good for all the days on the road.

Only one point of interest. While in Sylvan Beach, NY, we visited Fort Stanwix in Rome, NY. A must see for history buffs. It is in downtown Rome, NY, and is a National Monument operated by the Park Service. The history of the fort and the role it played in the Revolutionary War are presented amazingly well in the Visitor's Center and the fort itself has been completely restored. If you are ever near Rome, NY, this is a must see.
