The Road Winds Ever Onward

1800 miles later, we're in St. Louis getting ready to head over to a Cardinals game. It's warm... in the 90s with substantial humidity. A few notes on the ride over:

Montana gets the award for the most internet networks so far. As we were driving through, we couldn't really use them, but still, driving through mountains and valleys, it was astonishing how many networks my computer picked up.

South Dakota was really long.

Iowa wins the award for best rest stops: all equipped with free wireless internet service. Iowa also wins the award for worst roads so far. Iowa also has the distinction of having a couple of weird combinations. In one town there was a liquor store laundry mat. You know how stressful laundry can be, this one-stop shop makes washing clothes easy and fun and you'll never remember you did it. We also ate dinner at a burrito coffee shop. Yep.

Missouri wins the award for most meticulous, with mile markers every 2 tenths of a mile. That seems a little obsessive, but I'm sure they have their reasons.

On to Greenville. Cheers.
