While taking a short respite from my students’ summer reading requirements, I read Tim Rumsey’s Pictures From a Trip. Rumsey details a trip three college-age men — two brothers and their friend who is visually impaired — take as they head out west from Minnesota to fulfill lifelong dreams of discovering dinosaur bones in the Badlands of North Dakota. The distinct personalities of the trio, their various adventures and hilarious side trips make for a fun read. To add to the enjoyment while reading, I recalled many places my husband Steve and I visited when we went west a couple of years ago. Most memorable were: Wall Drug Store, Mt. Rushmore and Stirgus. This book was not only a delightful read but also a nostalgic stroll down memory lane.
