Fall Color and More!

The Fall Semester trip for the 3rd year at Veritas gets underway this coming Saturday, October 1, 2011.  We have an exciting three weeks planned while on our 13-state whirlwind tour of the remaining states east of the Mississippi River not yet visited by Veritas students.  We hope to keep our followers informed of our progress on a regular basis throughout the duration of the trip, if not daily at least several times a week.  Watch this blog for those updates and photos along the way.

If you'd like to follow our progress you'll need a U.S. map that shows the eastern half of the country.  We'll begin by taking our own local I-35 north, but we'll stay on it all the way to the Canadian border!  Our first stop will be Abilene, Kansas where we intend to visit the Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum.  This will be the first of a scheduled dozen or so presidential sites along our route.  Day Two should find us in Springfield, IL and the Lincoln Center.  From there we'll continue north to Minnesota, then east along Lake Superior, through Wisconsin to Michigan, then south, through Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia (Shenandoah National Park), eventually ending up in Florida.  Right now our plans include a visit to Florida's southernmost city, Key West, where we'll tour Harry Truman's "Little White House" and Ernest Hemingway's home, before heading back up the west coast of Florida (through the Everglades) and, eventually, back home to Texas.

You won't want to miss our running travel log of this spectacular adventure.  Be sure to check in regularly during the next three weeks to follow along and experience, if only vicariously, this amazing trip.
