West to Bend

Friday we continued west to Kansas. After a brief stop in Kansas City, we made our way into Colorado and then turned north to Wyoming.

We drove west through Wyoming on the Lincoln Highway, finally stopping at Rock Springs for the night. 

Our last major stop on our ninth trip across America was at Shoshone Falls outside Twin Falls, Idaho.

Indiana

Thursday, we stopped at two National Park sites in southern Indiana. The first was the Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial. It had a pretty extensive visitor center telling about Lincoln's early years, and some nice grounds to walk around.

The second was the George Rogers Clark National Historic Park. He was a Revolutionary War hero who won an important battle against the British. After Jenn completed the Junior Ranger program at both sites, we drove west across southern Illinois.  

We got to St. Louis just after dinner, and stopped for the night at a campground a few hours to the west.
