Okay East Coasters it’s time for some learning! Also, as I typed this out I realized this week was a lot about fire.
Fact of the Week: The man who invented fire hydrants, which have saved hundreds of buildings and homes from being destroyed, had a factory to produce fire hydrants. Ironically, it burned to the ground. We saw what was left of the crumbling foundation!
Question of the Week: Can you name the place in the US that was destroyed by fire in mere hours, including a thousand foot fire tornado, late at night on October 8, 1871? (I’ll give you a hint, Ryan and I never made it through Illinois, so guess again!)
Finally, a little about us and the trip. Ryan and I made it safely (read: no fires, thank you) to Milwaukee and are having a blast with the Madigans! We’ve also opted to trade in the Fit for something a little more our style. So thank you again to the Harrills! Check out the new ride and the other pictures of the week below.
