Here is the second part of all the sites we visited last year. If you missed the first part, check it out here.

Not Quite a Spiral-Bound Notebook

Has technology changed the way we do things? I know, I know, silly question. I was riding on a longer than normal trip with my wife last week. We were talking about how we navigated around the U.S. with an Atlas pre-smartphones. You know the book that links page 34 with page 19 so you…
