2500

---

So we're in Missouri. It's a relief to be out of the flatlands of Kansas. What a trip it is there. It feels like you've been dropped into a dream of some sort. Golden fields and blue skies as far as the eye can see. Nothing becomes everything. There's a lot of room to just let yourself drift. The towns and the people are rather timeless and pretty warm and welcoming. I did enjoy it, but its nice to be back into the woods and the rolling hills here. It's nice not to know whats around the next corner. I really like it here in Missouri. Tall towering oak forests and lots of rivers. The terrain is a self propelled roller coaster that makes you laugh pretty hard as you coast at 40 mph. Today was our first day of rain the entire trip, which is rather amazing. Hopefully they will be few and far between, everyone knows November rain can be pretty cold...
