Day One, ankeny to McAlester, OK

Just south of Des Moines I started taking pictures while
driving. YES, I am careful, I press the camera to my
shoulder.

goofy smile, first stop at the Leon Rest Area

turn off of the Ok turnpike from Joplin, onto Hwy 69 and

who is there to greet you? I think it is Pocahontas......

trying to beat the Union Pacific......I wonder if Jimmy Jr

was the engineer?
