More video fun. We’re still catching up with last week when we went through Mount Rushmore and I pulled my trick (for the second time that day) of flirting with a Park Ranger just so that she’d talk to me on camera. Then it was along to – and up and over – the Beartooth [...]

It’s been over a week since we last counted the numbers, so here we are again. Whilst I’m sure you already know you can click on the progress map (which you can click on anytime over there in the right-hand rail) of this blog at anytime to see where I’ve been day-to-day, it’s always good [...]

The ‘pointlessness’ of the whole trip became apparent to Nikki today when we took a leisurely 200 mile detour south of where we were by Yellowstone park, to the southern depths of Idaho – to visit a same named place on the tube map – only for me to reveal that we’re going to turn [...]

A weekend where you run out of superlatives: Welcome to Yellowstone Park. The scenery is simply just so gobsmackingly stunning, after you’ve used “Amazing!“, “Fantastic!” and “Stunning!“, you wonder how you’re quite going to describe the beauty that you see to others. The park is big – big enough to contain small towns in it, [...]

Could this be the most scenic part of country? So far – yes. Into South Dakota we go and the Badlands. Oh, and Wall Drug “Wall what?” I hear you ask! Exactly, which is why there’s this nice video for you … • National Parks guide to the Badlands • Wall Drug official site, oh [...]

@geofftech more wideopenspace standinginthemiddleofanemptyroad photos please @diamondgeezer no problem, it is after all your ‘fault’ that i’m here So we’re on the outskirts of Yellowstone Park, and will be here all weekend. Montana is known as ‘The Great Sky State’, and I think it’s bloody obvious looking at those pictures why. The road rolls out [...]

So you live in a tiny small farming town in North Dakota. You worry that like a lot of small towns in America, relying just on farming that business may fail as the world evolves and changes, what do you do? In Gary Greff’s case, the answer is “You sculpt bloody great metalwork objects and [...]

Welcome to Monowi, Nebraska. Population : 2 Except for one small problem. When Elsie’s husband Rudy died a few years back, nobody bother to update the sign … the irony being that if it’s anybody’s job … it’s hers. For Elsie is the one-woman town of Monowi. She draws up a yearly budget … which [...]

I’ll keep it brief. (Just 500 words, instead of 1,000 like I’ve been doing lately). Welcome aboard Nikki who (in a style extremely reminiscent to Doctor Who) became UndUSA’s companion number four today, landing in the intense mess that was MSP airport. I only had to loop round four times, and get shouted at by [...]

It’s about time we counted the numbers up again. Whilst I’m sure you already know you can click on the progress map (which you can click on anytime over there in the right-hand rail) of this blog at anytime to see where I’ve been day-to-day, it’s always good for me (if no one else) to [...]

It was bright, it was colourful, it was fun, friendly and informative. In was – in short (sorry mum) everything that Graceland wasn’t. If I ever get a chance to speak to the people behind Graceland to say that I was a little underwhelmed at my Elvis experience and they might say to me “Well [...]

I swear that when I planned this, I did not go out of my way to choose towns that had railways running through them. Same name-as-tube-stops they might be, but I wasn’t trying to be that much of a geek and make it that there was a passing American railroad too. And yet strangely it [...]
