Kansas as Big as you think 4.26

Yesterday, quite arguably one of the longest days in our road trip history. Alas a journey of 2500 miles starts with a step.
7am Step 1. Doorbell ditching Step 2. Drive to Arkansas!






Now we bring you observations from the road.
New sunglasses really help the drive. Eastern CO, although flat and desolate, tops Nevada, Eastern California(Baker, Boron, Barstow. Kansas is a name blender, Kanorado, Texlahoma. Kansas might have little man syndrome, "We may not have any natural bigness so we'll make some" Examples; "Worlds largest Prairie Dog" (made of 8000lbs of concrete), 2x life statue of Buffalo Bill, a 100' flag pole(oooo ahhhh), the largest barn in Kansas right off the interstate, worlds largest VanGough painting on an easel(I can see it from here)sunflowers of course. I guess everything just seems bigger in Kansas.
Cowboy tradition has it that when you wear out a pair of boots you put them on fence posts, maybe I'll start doing that.
Kansas isn't as flat as thought. If Colorado is a DD then Kansas maybe an A cup. "Flat can still be cool." -M
Arrived in Missouri, never thought we'd make it out of Kansas. It is bigger than you think.
Kansas City's most requested song...."I will survive" (seriously, the DJ told me)
"Driving long hours makes me slightly greasy"-N
Missouri might have the worst placed welcome sign...on an over pass...in tons of traffic, and no turnout. Hence no photo.
Arkansas, home of Wal-Mart, we drove through Bentonville, the Wal-Marts seem classy out here.
AM Radio in Denver travels all the way to Arkansas. 850KOA baby!
Arrived at our destination The Dennis residence in Lakewood, AR 12:30am.
Long day, slept good, scared Grandma Dennis in the morning, she had no idea we were here. Suprise, two people you don't know emerging from the basement!
Look out Arkansas, the Schramms are in town.
