Every state has them — those roadside markers provided by the state historical society that highlights some piece of history that took place here, or some otherwise trivial piece of information about the journey through this area made by others.
Sometimes the markers explain a point of geology. Sometimes they provide insight to the name of a highway or region or valley or mountain. We’ve found the sites of shoot-outs with Bonnie & Clyde, of stage coach routes and of unbelievable natural disasters, and through each one have felt a little more in touch with the journey.
