Arizona
Arizona is home to the jaw-dropping Grand Canyon, crazy desert wildlife, and very hot summers.
With a gorgeous backdrop like Arizona, even an amateur photographer is likely to capture a pretty decent photograph, with little effort.

Garfield by Jim Davis
Creator, Jim Davis went to college in Muncie, Indiana and based his famous comic strip and cartoon series, Garfield there. The house of Garfield’s bachelor owner Jon Arbuckle is located in Muncie.
Sanders Quarry in Monroe County, Indiana
One of the richest sources of limestone on the planet is located in Indiana. Indiana’s limestone has helped build the Pentagon, the Empire State Building, the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, the National Cathedral, and more.
The first gasoline pump
The first gasoline pump was created in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on Sept. 5, 1885. This pump was invented and built by a man with an awesome name, Sylvanus Freelove Bowser.
The United States thanks you Indiana. Thank you the laughs. Thank you for the building material. And thank you for the gas!
