We have just returned from a road trip that included six states (seven, if you include MN). We traveled 1500 miles, which is roughly 2400km. We visited Des Moines IA, a town where Paul attended Drake University, Omaha NE with its famous zoo, Kansas City KS and MO, known for great BBQ, jazz and blues, Independence MO a hometown of president Harry Truman, St. Louis MO and the Gateway Arch, Springfield IL where president Lincoln lived and worked for around 30 years, the port town of Dubuque IA on the Mississippi, and historic Galena IL with Ulysses Grant's home and other historic buildings (over 80% of the town is on the National Historic Register).
