Road trip!

In an early effort to deal with my dismay at still not knowing my employment future, I am planning free and local road trips. I have a burning desire for the quirky, the unusual, the slice of life that we humans cut out for ourselves in these here woods and cities. Here's what I'll be using:

Roadside America: a searchable site of quirk. Like Boston's ether statue, or the site of the molasses flood.

Find-A-Grave: Speaks for itself - good to look up the creators of the quirkiness, and find those final resting places.

Roadfood: Everyone's gotta eat - and what better way to experience the lay of the land than with the food found therein?

I also suspect lighthouses and mental asylums will rank high on the list of must-sees. Let's hope Maille has inherited her mother's need for travel!
