I had to go to Iowa a couple months ago.... Yeah, I just went through the pictures now. Just thought you guys might want to see a few pictures. (I was a passenger on the way up.)

I've lived between Texas and Oklahoma my whole life and didn't need any pictures of them so you're out of luck with those two. Oklahoma has a crazy amount of Indian casinos these days.

Kansas:
The east side of Kansas is a lot less flat and tedious than the west. At least there are some hills.






Kansas City, Missouri. (The Kansas part of Kansas City is really boring. )






I like their bridges.





And, finally, Iowa.
This is the town we spent the night at. Nice place.






Green....green everywhere!

A turtle in the river, seen from...

...this bridge.

I never, ever want to drive that far in one day again.

Kansas is seriously flat.

That isn't even the "flat" part. Imagine absolutely no elevation change, in all directions, all the way to the horizon with power lines being the only change of scenery. It's been ~20 years since I've been to that part of Kansas and I still recall the soul-crushing, fatiguing boredom.

What was your ending mileage that you racked up? And yes, both what YOU drive and the entire trip I love road trips, just curious.

A little over 1,000 miles each way.


Also, even though I didn't have my camera out at the time, I had to show you the new Devon Energy building towering ridiculously over the Oklahoma City skyline. That one caught me off guard.
