Mandy and I turned in our Junior Ranger badges at the Fall River ranger station, and answered the quiz questions, and endured the cheerful announcement about 'our newest Junior Rangers' and the applause of all the people in the gift shop.  Next door, at the even-bigger gift store, we spent far too much money on sweatshirts and earrings and magnets, and then it was time to leave the park and head back home.

After working all day Thursday, we left home about suppertime. We made it as far as Bryan's Aunt Julie's house, in Oklahoma, where we spent the night. On Friday, we drove to Muskogee for breakfast at Braum's. (Mandy: "Is a chili cheese frank just more direct than a chili cheese hotdog?") Last week, Bryan spent two dollars on an app for his iPhone called "Roadside America." It's software that helps find oddball tourist attractions near where you're traveling. The first Roadside America stop on this trip: a statue commemorating the first Girl Scout cookie sale. (Bryan: "That was SO worth two dollars.")
