Re: [LM_NET] Target: MID: Project Trip Across the US Vising Monuments

[GraceAnne Andreassi DeCandido <ladyhawk@WELL.COM>]

This may not help you much, but it is also a plot point in a 
novel or memori, possibly  for young people, that I have 
read in the past ten years.
It's a wonderful idea, and good luck finding it, whether 
fiction or non-.
