You said middle states don't have much to look at. Well, I guess you don't know where to look. 20 years ago, we we're on our way to Yellowstone and the motor on our van blew up. We got it replace but it set us back 5 days. Then we took off and broke a spring on the trailer ,that set us back another day. So we ended up in Manhattan, Kansas. I looked in the AAA tour book. We found the Territorial Capitol building of Kansas. 2 Pony Express Museums, the Eisenhower Home, the Museum of Telephany and the Greyhound Museum.We finally made it to Yellowstone this year and on the way back, we stopped at the Harold Warp Pioneer Museum in Minden,Nebraska. Wow. If you like history, old cars,trucks,motorcycles or tractors, this is the place.You may want to buy a copy of Readers Digest book. I believe it is called "Off the Beaten Path". It shows you out of the way places in every state. While the national Parks are great,some of the small local museums are just wonderful.
