In 2018 I will feature a random (yet alphabetical) selection of photos I have taken from my nearly 20 years of back roads travel in the United States and Canada. I may even throw in a few random shots from other trips to Japan, Mexico and the Philippines. My theme is called America’s Back Roads: A Grab Bag of Places in Pictures.

I chuckled at Chico’s Mexican Restaurant in Ketchikan–not a place that I would think of for good Mexican food. And combined with “The Best Pizza in Town”! I’d be curious to go there just to eat at that restaurant. I have a feeling that I’d be disappointed.

Tossing It Out
Funny! I had noticed that in the picture today when I posted it as well and I was committing to another person in the house here about that
That’s some photo collection! You must have spent an age finding all of those. Love your theme. Wilbur.
Thanks Wilbur…20 years of travel and 1000s of photos!! Still doing it too!
I have driven past Vandalia hundreds of times and NO idea they had a fire breathing dragon!!!!
Laura; It’s a real kick!! By the hardware store in town. You buy tokens to make it breath fire
A must see Laura!!!
