Man follows footsteps of dinosaurs on solo cross-country expedition
Roger Delgado of Renfrew spent 20 days this summer following in the footsteps of dinosaurs. It was a trek that took him from Kentucky to Texas to California to South Dakota.
Along the way he took a few side trips to see Corvettes, World War I era airplanes and the flying pancake.
Before his odyssey was done, Delgado put 6,850 miles on his 2005 Nissan Ultima along with two oil changes and a tire rotation.
Delgado said he's taken cross-country road trips before but generally with companions. This was a solo jaunt.
Delgado left Aug. 1.
“It's a nice change of pace,” he said. “You leave your driveway and go onto to something else, which is a nice feeling.”
Delgado said his trip had four objectives: Visit museums with dinosaur skeletons,visit air museums, hone his photography skills, and drop in on relatives on the West Coast.
