Postcards from the Road
 
 
 
Today’s drive took us east from Denver across Colorado and all of Kansas.  To say that this section of this great union is barren is to say that politicians enjoy an audience.  From our stop in Burlington, Colorado until 200+ miles into Kansas, there wasn’t a single hill.  Seriously.  No change in the grade of the land.  Flat.  Barren.  Lots of crops.  Occasional grain elevators.
 
South Dakota at least had Wall Drug and a crazy Corn Palace, but Kansas is devoid of such things, as if the Kansans got together and shunned such things as the work of the devil.  Nothing, for mile upon mile upon mile.  Just corn.  
 
Lots, and lots and lots of corn.
 
Traversing America isn’t always some epic adventure, sometimes it’s just mileage you have to cover.
