a few more pics

here are some pics, the internet where i am staying isn't very good, so i cant upload pics easily, but here are a few, unfortunately the ones taken sideways, dont want to flip the right direction and i dont feel like messing with it, so i wont. I will put up more later if i can, if not I will when i get back home.

Day 1. Trip to Alaska

So day one we made it to Missouri, about a 100 miles from Kansas city. So not bad. Had a little bit of a late start (0il issue), but that got all worked out, so all is well and the car is happy. There really isn't much to Missouri just flat and lots of farms. Went through, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, Arkansas, and are staying in Missouri, so not bad for one day drive , leaving later than originally planned. Not much in the way of pics though :(. But I drove 2 of the 3 shifts, and sarah's not as big on taking pics from the car as i am, so not so many... oh well there will be tons to come im sure.

Random train

Apparently there is a "crump blvd" . . . so is that where crumping started?


Just outside of Memphis Ten.
