1. Bybanks, Kentycky

1. Bybanks, Kentycky

  • “Gramps says that I am a country girl at heart, and that is true. I have lived most of my thirteen years in Bybanks, Kentucky, which is not much more than a caboodle of houses roosting in a green spot alongside the Ohio River.” (Creech 1)
  • A fictional place, although it is real (it’s located near Richmond). Given this name for it is located near the Ohio River.
  • During this season, it is where golfing is most famous. Other than that, they have many more interesting things. For example, The Daniel Boone Monument and the Crabbe Library.

2. Euclid, Ohio

2. Euclid, Ohio

  • When Sal’s mother left Kentucky, Sal and her father went to Euclid, Ohio
  • Euclid was much different than Kentucky. Euclid didn’t had much trees, it was more like an urban city
  • As for Kentucky, it was more like a nature city, with lots of trees and grass. Kentucky is important for Sal because she was born there and also she grew up there.
  • At Euclid, Sal met Ben, Phoebe, Margaret Cadaver, and Mary lou.

“Just over a year ago, my father plucked me up like a weed and took me and all our belongings (no, that is not true - he did not bring the chestnut tree or the willow or the maple or the hayloft or the swimming hole or any of those things which belong to me) and we drove three hundred miles straight north and stopped in front of a house in Euclid, Ohio.” pg 1

3. Lake Michigan

3. Lake Michigan

  • When they first saw Lake Michigan, Gram thought it was the ocean they were passing through, but then Gramps explained that there were at the lake.
  • The water was warm and “...we were standing barefoot in the cool water of Lake Michigan. The waves splashed up on our clothes, and the seagulls flew in circles overhead, calling in one great chorus, as if they were glad to see us.” Chapter 7. Ill-ah-no-way

4. Chicago, Illinois

4. Chicago, Illinois

  • “We stopped on the outskirts of Chicago. I looked around at what I could see of Ill-ah-no-way from the Howard Johnson's Motel, and it might as well have been seven thousand miles from the lake.” (Creech 34)
  • Chicago, founded in 1833 near the Mississippi river is today one of the most populated countries in the US. It’s also brimful of modern art and attractions. For example; The Shedd Aquarium, Willis Tower and the Millennium Park.

(This is called the Cloud Gate)

5. Madison, Wisconsin

5. Madison, Wisconsin

  • Along the main roads of Madison, Gramps saw a man with a car parked.
  • He said he had a German Shrapnel in his leg, but Sal was slow to figure out later that the shrapnel was imaginary.
  • There were parts of the city where no cars were allowed. They stopped at a place at the Sunprint Cafe and ate banana muffins. Then visit other places where they could eat.

“The city of Madison sprawls between two lakes, Lake Mendota and Lake Monona, and dribbling out of these lakes are other smaller lakes. There are about a million parks and a million bicycles with special policemen and traffic lights just for bicyclists. It seemed as if the whole city was on vacation, with people riding around on their bikes and walking along the lakes and feeding the ducks and eating and canoeing and windsurfing.” Chapter 10. Huzza, Huzza

7. The Badlands

7. The Badlands

  • Their next stop was The Badlands
  • In the Badlands when they arrived Gram, Gramps and Sal went to sit on their blanket outside a pregnant woman was sitting on it
  • After that Sal said she didn’t liked pregnant women because when she was little and her mom was pregnant the baby didn’t make it, so didn’t liked pregnant women
  • So she moved away from the pregnant
  • Also Gram was breathing really weak and hard

“I sat on the edge of a gorge in the Badlands looking back at Gram and Gramps and the pregnant woman on the blanket” pg 100

8. The Black Hills/Mount Rushmore

8. The Black Hills/Mount Rushmore

  • When they first saw that they were getting to Mount Rushmore and the Badlands, Sal started to hear the whispers saying to slow down and then to rush and hurry.
  • Sal was afraid she wouldn’t get to Idaho in time, so she asked if they could skip the Badlands and Mount Rushmore. But her grandparents denied. Sal started driving.
  • Finally the got to the sixty-foot-tall faces of Washington, Jefferson, Lincon and Teddy Roosevelt high up on a cliff staring somberly down on them.

“The Black Hills were not really black. Pines covered the hills, and maybe at dusk they looked black, but when we saw them at mid-day, they were dark green. It was an eerie sight, all those rolling dark hills A cool wind blew down through the pines, and the trees swished secrets among them.”

“It was fine seeing the Presidents. I've got nothing against the Presidents, but you'd think the Sioux would be mighty sad to have those white faces carved into their sacred hill. I bet my mother was upset. I wondered why whoever carved them couldn't have put a couple of Native Americans up there too.”

9. Yellowstone National Park,Wyoming

9. Yellowstone National Park,Wyoming

  • Yellowstone National Park is where the Old Faithful geyser is. It is also “the world’s first national park”. Other than the main attraction, there are various others. This Park has loads of mountains, forests, lakes and wildlife.

"By late afternoon, we were well into Wyoming, and I added up the miles left to go. Maybe we could make it, just maybe. Then Gramps said, “I hope nobody minds if we stop at Yellowstone. It would be a sin to miss Yellowstone.” (Creech 168)

10. Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

10. Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

  • One of the places that gramps, gram, and Sal stopped was Idaho
  • There, they went to the beach, but unfortunately a snake stung gram
  • So they went directly to the hospital and Sal was really worried about her grama and about getting in Lewiston in time
  • So Gramps gave Sal money and the keys for the car and she went off and drove to Lewiston
  • When she got there, she parked the car and a sheriff asked her what was she doing there all alone and where was her family
  • So she explained about all of her trip, why she was alone, where was her family and what was she doing in Lewiston

“At Coeur d’Alene, we went straight to the hospital. Gramps had tried to wake Gram when he saw the lake. ‘Gooseberry?’ Gramps said. She slumped sideways on the seat. ‘Gooseberry?” pg 171

“He reached in his pockets and pulled out his car keys ‘Here, in case you need anything from the car.’ He handed me a crumpled wad of money. ‘In case you need it.” pg 173

11. Lewiston, Idaho

11. Lewiston, Idaho

  • After Sal explained to the sheriff why she was at Lewiston the sheriff took Salamanca to her mother’s grave
  • When Sal saw her mom’s grave she was not believing it, but she knew for herself that her mom was not coming back. Salamanca was really frustrated and sad.
  • Then sadly she went back to Coeur d’Alene and when she got there she received a terrible news from gramps, gram had died because of the poisonous snake.

“The Sheriff parked the car and led me up a path toward the river, and there, on a little hill overlooking the river and the valley, was my mother’s grave.”

“In the envelope was a note from Gramps giving the name of the motel he was staying at. Beneath that he had written, ‘I am sorry to say that our gooseberry died at three o’clock this morning.”

Conclusion

Conclusion

Sal's trip with her grandparents was pleasant. They made it to Lewiston, but unfortunately her grandma died and also her mother. Sal moved on by being more mature and facing up with her mother’s death. Before, Salamanca didn't accept that her mother had died, but as the time passed she learned how to move on.
