Maybe Don can help me remember where the Rochester NY choir tour stopped. I know we went to Niagara Falls, Samford NY, a cave in Kentucky, and Lexington Kentucky. I’m not exactly sure I got the Colorado choir tour stops right.

In college we traveled to Elmira NY, Sevierville TN, and Terre Haute Indiana for mission trips, as well as Knoxville, Chapel Hill, Birmingham, Athens, and Auburn for football games. Brett Freemon and I road-tripped to Kitty Hawk NC to check out a summer opportunity. There were actually two choir tours to Colorado Springs. In the early 90’s Ceil and I drove to Chicago for a vacation, stopping off in Ladoga IN to visit Dic Dac’s family. We’ve also taken two car trips to Washington and others to Richmond, Destin, Rosemary Beach, Panama City, St. Georges Island, Lake Guntersville, Memphis, Charleston, Hilton Head, and Nashville. We’ve been on shorter Living Science trips to Jekyll Island, St. Augustine Beach, Merritt Island, St. Georges Island, Gulf Shores, and Tybee Island. As a kid we twice drove to Tarkio Missouri to visit family.
