Re-Instituting FADCF


which stands for Free and Dirt Cheap Fridays, for those who need clarification. I've written previously about this idea I had while living in NYC. Well, after a month of sickness, lots of stress, and general disgruntledness, I decided to re-institute FADCF for myself. It's more the spirit of the thing, as I actually did it on a Saturday, but it's back and staying.

I celebrated the reinstatement yesterday by driving to Alliance, Nebraska,where everyone goes for fun, right? Well, although it may not be on the same par as Disneyland, it is pretty darn awesome, because it is the home to Carhenge. Like its British counterpoint, Carhenge is a mysterious formation out in the middle of nowhere. Unlike its British counterpoint, it's made out of cars, not large boulders. It is pretty darn awesome, though. Other than that magnificent sight, I also saw the Carnegie Art Gallery (in which the guide followed me around the whole time because she wanted to talk to someone and I was a mysterious stranger), several Mormon Trail markers, and Chimney Rock. It's a rock that looks like a chimney.

All-in-all, a successful road trip.
