Here we are Alliance, Nebraska at the wonderful Car Henge. It’s a henge made of cars, simple as that. Had a steak in a nice little restaurant in Alliance. Asked the guy serving us what there is to do in Alliance; he just said “no” and shook his head. The town’s main purpose seems to [...]

Some Real Weather from flippers on Vimeo.
It’s not all sunshine over here, our late night dash through South Dakota was a tad inclement.

We needed to make up some millage so we spend a whole day speeding through South Dakota, stopping for a breather at a town called Huron - which proudly boasts as being the home to the world’s largest pheasant. As far as we know there’s no real story behind why it’s there other than shooting [...]

OK, we had to see it, it’s the Biggest Ball of Twine, well not really, the biggest one is somewhere else and is a tiny bit bigger, but that one was rolled by any passing joe, the ball we visited (in Darwin, Minnesota) was all rolled by one person, a guy called Francis Johnson, [...]

It seems the more middle America we get, the cheaper the hotels are. Last night we scored a hotel room (in Darwin, Minnesota) with wi-fi, a pool, continental breakfast and stunning views of the mcDonalds drive-through for only 60 bucks, which works out to about 8 good old British Pounds each.

Today we visited Dr. Evermore and Lady Eleanor and had a tour of the Doctor’s massive machine; The Forevertron, which (once complete) will blast him into space in a glass egg within a copper frame to live forever on a beam of light. There are many other machines and characters to help him on his [...]

Thought I’d mention today about some of the obstacles the lord has chosen to fling in our path. The glorious image above is a screen grab from our camera. As you can tell, it’s poorly. The trippy effect seemed to come and go in a seemingly random fashion. We tried keeping it at a constant [...]

Found ourselves in a scary place deep in Indiana. The image above, left is taken from inside a tomb in the grounds of a Carmelite Monastery. They happened to be having some kind of big to do, and the place was full of Polish people chanting and generally being scary. These were not our people. [...]

Today we met Mike Carmichael and his wife Glenda at their home in Alexandria, Indiana. Mike has been painting a baseball for the last 30 years, it is now the biggest ball of paint in the world with 21,201 coats of paint, and we got to paint coat number 21,201! Each coat is a different [...]

Here’s Joe. The Head Knight of the Knights of The Golden Trail. He runs the Chateau Laroche just outside Cincinnati in Loveland, Ohio. He inherited it from Harry Andrews when he died about 25 years ago. He and his knights keep the Chateau all ship shape and Bristol fashion for visitors to come and just [...]
