Journeys into Boredom

---

My main activity today was a drive across central Missouri to Kansas City.

I thought it was impossible to produce a landscape more dull than central Illinois, but I was wrong.

Central Missouri is all farms, and nearly all flat.

I was afraid I would fall asleep I was so bored.

Thank god my car has a music system I can hear with the top down!

The one scenic highlight was a crossing of the Missouri River, which yet again flows between a set of bluffs.



I ate dinner tonight at an Interstate 70 truck stop.

Truck stop architecture around here is even more developed than in North Carolina (see March 14^th).

They have lots of features.

Care to watch a movie as a break from the road?

Anyone who shows a CDL license can.

This particular truck stop had a food court, which I used for dinner.

It was not healthy, but it was tasty and cheap.
