Henry Ford Museum, Dearborn, Michigan

The Henry Ford Museum. Greatest collection of everything in America. Famous trains, Cars that have driven from the tip of South America to Canada (something I always thought about doing), and even old Presidential motorcades.

United States Capitol, Washington, DC.

Ah - what to say about this structure than maybe highlight some of the features. The rotunda, the crowds, the painting of the embarkation of the pilgrims in the Rotunda with William Brewster, and maybe a statue of William Jennings Bryan. And let's throw in the honorary American citizen and true hero of World War II, Raoul Wallenberg (who survived the Nazis only to die by the Soviets).

Union Station, Washington, DC

A busy hub of activity on the Northeast Corridor, as opposed to the rest of the Amtrak grid....

Promontory Summit, Promontory, Utah

The Golden Spike Site, the Central Pacific Jupiter, and the nearby Rocket Museum. Quite the collection.




Utah State Capitol, Salt Lake City, Utah

The traditional dome that covers most legislative bodies in America. But it does have some beautiful views.

Reagan Library, Simi Valley, California

Ah - Marine One, Air Force One, and an unbelievable view of the valley. And the replica of part of Reagan's boyhood home.

Klondike Gold Rush NHP, Seattle, Washington

And there is some interesting history in Seattle, this fairly new city but with some history of the Gold Rush days. The National Parks are a truly great resource.

Space Needle, Seattle, Washington

Yes they do have a restaurant, and very good views. But this looks very interesting with all the dry ice...

Boyhood Home of Ronald Reagan, Dixon, Illinois

If you can't make it to the California Reagan Library, you can always visit his Boyhood Home in Dixon, Illinois. There you can see parts of the house that they have replicas of in California.

Kitwe, Zambia

Always interesting on the opposite side of the road. Churches, African prairie, cemeteries, and the view from the edge of the city.
