Tomorrow we return to Ohio. Sounds crazy, but its true. Just a little more driving after a few long driving days across some large open areas (pictures to come, but there aren't too many of Oklahoma, and the usual Midwest gang)
Santa Fe onwards was mostly trying to get through long and flat states. Theres some beautiful lands outside of Santa Fe, but it quickly flattened in Oklahoma. So we crossed Oklahoma and the top handle of Texas, and into the beginnings of Missouri in an epic bout of driving on the 26th. It was pretty easy, if not really windy across Oklahoma. We also did a little stint on Route 66 in Oklahoma between Oklahoma City and Tulsa to enjoy the scenery and cut out the toll road. It wasn't terribly exciting, but was a nice break. After dinner we decided to press on a bit further and car-camped in a small Missouri town just past Springfield. This morning we crossed through gentle hills in Missouri, took a small tour stop around my old home town in Springfield, IL and will be spending tonight with a high school friend near U of Illinois in Champaign. Tomorrow we will make the relatively short 5 hour drive across Indiana to get back to Columbus. It will be good to be home, but neither of us really are ready to confront the mess the car has become, let alone moving everything back around to being livable again inside, but it will be nice to not have to drive so much for a while.
