Anywhere nearby to park a motorhome for a few hours?

Amanda Kepsel | Sep 27, 2021
Joseph R Dailey | Sep 27, 2021

I think the Natural History Museum has the idea. Also you could Uber or Lyft from a KOA if you're staying the night there. They have a light rail system, but it didn't extend to the Museum at the time. Worth the extra effort. It's an amazing place!
