We left Colorado in a light snow. Drove through Kansas. Big raptor day.
Big raptors. We're not very good at identifying hawks from the freeway.
Here is how our raptor-from-the-freeway identification process goes:
"I see a red-tailed hawk."
"That one over there is not a red tail."
"Look at that one. I can't tell whether it's a red tail or not."
That's pretty much it.
Western Kansas has a lot in common with Eastern Colorado. Wide open. Flat.
The eastern half of Kansas is rolling hills and forests. Next day,
Missouri. Missouri, more of the same. We're in Missouri. We're in the
south. We were in the west. We drove straight east for two days, and now
we're in the south. Go figure.
Tomorrow we'll turn right and drive for two days. Then, I guess, we'll be
in the really really south.
