Day 80 Galena, Kansas to Carthage Missouri 22 miles

4/30/2011

That’s right I crossed from Kansas into Missouri in a day. Like I’ve said after every border crossing, the scenery changes, the smells change, the culture changes, the animals change and the people change.

Oklahoma was experiencing the worst drought since the dust bowl during my stay. I don’t think the same could be said for Missouri. The trees here are so green. The run to Carthage was relatively peaceful. I ended up in the Best Western Precious Moments Hotel. Everything around here seems to have a Precious Moments theme. The girls out there should be familiar with the Precious Moments figures. I don’t know how many men have knowledge of the figures. I guess it’s pretty cute. There is even a Precious Moments Chapel here. I’ll remember to take pictures of all the Precious Moments things tomorrow.
