Flat JohnOur constant companion during the Tour was Flat John, a nearly life-sized replica of John Norbeck, the Director of the Bureau of State Parks. John (the real one, not the flat one) was kind enough to lend his sense of humor and adventure to the tour project - for which we'll always be grateful. Because John (the Flat one, not the real one) is the perfect travel companion! He never complained about long hours in the car or any odd situation he was forced to endure; he was quiet; and he never tried to take our chocolate! Visit the Flat John Photo Gallery and see if you can guess where each picture was taken. |
