Okay, it really happened before I left, but I didn't realize it until I was halfway there.
So I stopped for the night in Neosho, MO--roughly halfway between Fort Worth and St. Louis--and discovered when I went to take a shower, that I'd forgotten to pack underwear! What with all the duplicate lists I had, I missed this one key item of apparel. Luckily for me there was a WalMart across the highway from the hotel I stayed in, so the issue was easily rectified.
There's some very lovely countryside between here and St. Louis...the eastern part of Oklahoma is mostly cattle country as far as I could tell and I enjoyed the beauty of the Ozarks as well. The foliage had barely, and I mean barely from green to yellow, started turning, but it was so so lovely.
Here are a few images...
This was Tuesday morning..first day out. Gorgeous blue sky as you can see.
My first couple of hours on the road Wednesday morning was filled with low, low clouds and then some rain.
And then some beautiful canyon-like passages in the last couple hours before hitting the outer edges of the city.
My roommate was arriving via Amtrak and I timed my arrival to pick her up. Actually I arrived a little early because, as it happens, the Enterprise Center is right across from the Amtrak Station. :0) Despite not being a fan of the Blues by any stretch of the imagination, I am a hockey fan. I visited the fan store, because of course I did. They didn't have much that wasn't Blues specific, not even hockey pucks, which was a bit disappointing. I did end up buying a cat toy so that Karma could literally tear up the Blues.
They did have some lovely statues out front however...
And that's it for today...more about the actual conference on Monday. Have a great rest of your week.
