I call a location like this a mini-stop. A mini-stop is something that is a quick stop, take a picture and off we go to the next spot. But unlike so many mini-stops, this one left me more confused than anything. It is a giant…

This is what I call a Mini-Stop: a place to stop, snap a pic and off you go on towards your next destination. Here is where I took a picture of my wife when we stopped on our way to Alaska. Unlike many other mini-stops…
