The first leg of your journey is a six-hour drive to Washington Nave, a small town in southeast Georgia. Find your way to the "Old Cutting Fields," where in the late 70's, several lumberjacks were killed in a tree-felling accident (sometimes the trees aren't the only victims of "progress"), and according to legend, they still roam the site. A sophomore tells us that the Lumberjack Ghosts "basically look like Impressionist sketches of lumberjacks that move very gracefully, unlike real lumberjacks." She also added that the best time to get there is "just before the sun starts to fizz on the horizon."

It's a five-hour drive to Manzanera, Alabama, where you can find the Church of Thistlethorne, an old barn converted into a gothic looking "church" that's "hidden in the woods, about twenty minutes outside of the town proper." Their "services" don't start until midnight and although guests are "not permitted to relate any specifics," we're told that "if you're talking dark sorcery, this is the real thing."

It's another five to six hours to Ampheta, Mississippi, but you'll have plenty of time to relax once you're there. If you can find your way to the Niaja Ridge, you 'll be able to look down on the curious arrangement of stones and try to decipher their message. Our senior informant tells us that the evening sunsets give this geoslab an eerie glow, "Tommyknockers-style, only red."

Head up to the crossroads of US 78 and US 33, two dirt roads in the middle of Lucida County, Tennessee, where underappreciated Delta-bluesman Toothess John finally lost his fight to the bottle. They say that if you pull your car off the road right by the intersection, roll your windows down and listen carefully, you'll be able to hear John singing the chorus of "Pinebox Blues."

Load up your car, fill your stomach with methamphetamines and coffee, and hit the road, Jack! 'Cause you're not going to want to miss a minute of the Canine Celebrity Museum in Huckle Creek, Virginia. A four-hour drive on I-95, the Canine Celebrity Museum features over 150 life-sized replicas of well-known dog actors who have graced the silver screen. Anyone with any sense of nostalgia will be delighted to see the likenesses of Rin Tin Tin, Toto, Spuds MacKenzie, Benji, and Lassies I-VI. Parking is free, but admission is $6.

The Holy Land Experience in Lebanon, Virginia is a fabulous arena of education and fun. See all of your favorite Biblical characters as they really would have looked and dressed participating in several dramatic reenactments and musical numbers, such as the Garden of Eden, Noah's Ark, the spilling of Onan's seed, and David and Goliath. A Libertas road trip favorite is the crumbling Wall O' Jericho, which falls after you drive around it in a park Land Rover three times and honk the horn.

There's plenty of fun to be had in Washington, D.C. Not only was part of Forrest Gump filmed there, but they also have lots of museums and neat old buildings. And make sure to catch a glimpse of our national monuments while they're still there!

Take I-77 North to Chelyan, WV, and then US-60 to Hawk's Nest State Park. In order to understand the phenomenon of the Mystery Hole, "you've gotta experience this roadside attraction firsthand." Tours run every fifteen minutes, and admission is $3. The secret of the Mystery Hole shall not be divulged here, but we will say that you will experience the laws of gravity defied. One mile beyond the Mystery Hole is the inexplicable Snake Pit, which is filled with vipers, adders, and other similarly shaped avatars of Satan. Next, head to Charleston where there is always vacancy at the Old Imperial, which is home to millionaire recluse Frankie Vellens, who has been attempting to invent a perpetual motion machine in his tenth-floor suite for the last twenty years.

Take US-19 north towards the town of Helvetia, founded in 1869 by Swiss immigrants and populated by their descendants, who have kept the town in a cultural warp by wearing traditional outfits and speaking German as a first language. Be sure to take lunch at Der Hütte restaurant, where the laberwurst is fabulous!

Regardless of your religion, you should spend your Sabbath at the nation's foremost Hare Krishna temple, the Palace of Gold, in Moundsville. The 200-acre compound is home to colossal statues of Krishna and Shiva, and the largest cow protection farm in America. Feel free to milk the multigrain-fed cows vigorously.

Head east to Point Pleasant, WV, location of the highest number of UFO sightings in 1967 in the US. If you are lucky, a UFO will abduct you, an experience which the Registrar's Office has informed us will qualify as a cultural diversity requirement. You may even get counted as an international student too.
