After the tour, the trio went back to Emporia State University where Flat Stanley found a map of Pennsylvania that highlighted the geology of the state. He is getting homesick for Robert Harn, his friend back in Beaver, Pennsylvania. He enjoyed his visit but it is time to go home for new adventures.
