Responsible Alert Driving ~ Transcontinental Abolitionist Road Trip
DAY 4        8/1/2010

We end up arriving in Niagra at dusk.  Never having been before, we thought we’d missed out opportunity to see the falls.  Then, as I looked up images online, I discovered that the Canadians infuse the falls with colored flood light!  We knew we were in for a treat!

ASK A LOCAL
When you get to a destination, always ask a local about special events, sites, and deals.
When I asked a local--which was easy, since he was at an information counter!--about cheap ice cream and other events, he gave directions to an ice cream stand and pointed out on a map the best vantage points for viewing the FIREWORKS SHOW, scheduled to begin in thirty-five minutes!

NIAGRA FALLS at NIGHT
Using our inside information, we avoided the three-dollar tourist popcicles and headed for the ice cream stand two blocks away.  There we invested the ten dollars saved earlier into ice cream cones for the whole group!  These were so good and fun on our walk through the state park on a warm summer evening.

FIREWORKS
Licking ice cream cones and laughing though the park with water fall mist in the air, we arrived at the falls seven minutes before the fireworks show began!

Most FAQ’s

1.  Why is the driver education instructor driving across the country with a former driver education student?

• We’re headed to Gilford, New Hampshire.

2.  What’s in New Hampshire?

• Soul Fest, one of the largest Christian music festivals on the planet, takes place in Gilford, NH.

3.  Why drive all the way from Rathdrum, Idaho to New Hampshire for a music festival?

• Good question! 
• Michael has been trying to learn the truth about modern day slavery and how to be a part of the solution.
• The Not for Sale Campaign, a group dedicated to ending slavery in our lifetime, is providing a three-day course at Soul Fest.
• Martha, the McKids, and friend Robbie, were not able to attend Creation (another festival), as they usually do each year.
• Joy is going off to college in Montana.
• Josh is going of to college in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.
• Of course, driving school owners love having their own kids get lots and lots and lots of supervised driving; transcontinental and back is a lot!
• So, Martha and Michael agreed this was a great way to bring all the people and pieces together:  spend lots of time together before the kids go off to college, attend a music festival and praise our lungs out together, and begin learning how to set slaves free--together!
