Stay a While

This is the nicest, friendliest rest stop ever.. I-55 at the Arkansas/Missouri state line.

The,pony. A strip joint right beside the prettiest bridge I've ever seen. Kind of ruins the effect eh?

Hey Porter, Hey Porter

Now that we're back south of the Mason-Dixon line, I'm eager to be back in Tennessee. We needed a pit stop though. These automatic hand washers were amazing. (They probably invented them in Kansas.)

We Are Not in Kansas Anymore

Seriously. There just isn't much happening in Kansas. I wasn't expecting that. However, I want to leave it on a positive note. Here are some interesting things about Kansas:

1) it's the geographic center of the 48 contiguous united states

2) each farm here produces approximately enough food to feed 148 people per year

3) even people from Kansas aren't impressed with Kansas, or southern charm (okay, maybe this is opinion, but it's been consistent during my time here)

4) I promise, as soon as we crossed the state line, it stopped smelling like livestock

5) it's gorgeous, for all it's nothing to do. I don't think I've ever seen anyplace that was so un-industrialized.

6) I'm grasping for things now, so I'll quit.
