What a beautiful world we live on! The terrain has been different in every state. I made good time on Monday and just ok time today. Either way, I'll be to Chantel's by tomorrow. Here are my impressions of each state gleaned from driving through. I would have liked to have visited some historic sites, but maybe next time:
Wyoming:
Red bluffs (but not as prevalent as in Arizona)
Mountains
Cowboys
Cowboy music
Christian Broadcasts
Rodeos
High winds and snow storms
Nebraska:
High desert plains
Cowboys
Cowboy music
Christian Broadcasts
Cattle
Pony Express
Buffalo Bill
Iowa:
I have one word for Iowa: CORN.
Not really. But I did pass literally thousands of acres of corn fields, fallow this time of year, with only the tips of their dried stalks poking up through the snow. I never got tired of looking at those rolling fields.
Farmers
Cowboy music
Christian broadcasts
State Fair
Illinois:
More corn
More rolling hills
More freeways
A big difference between Western and Eastern Illinois. I had to really pay attention as I was nearing Chicago, there were so many on and off ramps and criss-crossing highways. Bridge toll was only .60! If I had known that ahead of time (and I looked but the cost wasn't posted) I wouldn't have given the attendant a 10$ bill. He probably thought I needed the ones for something. I made sure to smile at him.
I will post photos later. I am sooooo tired...
