Hola Rambunctious, Quick, Outstanding Friends,
Well I have been very busy traveling the backwards alphabet. You are keeping me very busy. While I was in Rhode Island I found that is the smallest state in the United States. Here is a link with all the states listed by their size. Where do you think Florida falls in the list? Rhode Island is famous for its state bird the Rhode Island Hen.
Not far from Rhode Island is the quaint city of Quincy, Massachusetts. I was so lucky to find this city since there are not many places that begin with 'Q'. Quincy is where John Adams was born. Do you know who he was? He was our second president. Who was our first? John Adams named a son John Quincy Adams and he became our sixth president. That's keeping it in the family. Quincy is really small but I found a beautiful salt marsh trail, take a look. Do you know why the marsh is salty? I"m really close to Boston, but need to get moving if I'm going to make my next destination.
Just a ways west of Massachusetts is the plush state of Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania is where Punxsutawney Phil lives. Do you remember who he is and why he is famous? Pennsylvania has a very famous historical city that begins with a 'P' but sound likes an 'F'. Do you know what it is? It is Philadelphia! Philadelphia is very famous for some very important history for the USA. Here is a picture of the Liberty Bell. Read about how it BROKE! I'm headed to the far away state of Oregon because I think the habitats are a bit different there.
Wow, Oregon is outstandingly original. What different state than I have been in on the East coast. There is a famous trail that ends in Oregon called the Oregon Trail. What an optimal place for opportunities to see habitats. The Oregon Trail is so popular in our history that there was a game made for computers called the Oregon Trail. You had to plan a trip and all the things you would need as if you were taking the trail long ago. I don't know if it is still available but it used to be fun. I can't wait to hear from you.
