Big Things Jackpot!
We had a really long travel day today, almost 13 hours on the road. We left Carlos’ in Indianapolis this morning and made it all the way to El Reno, Oklahoma, which is about 30 miles west of Oklahoma City. We traveled through parts of four states today… Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, and Oklahoma. We also traveled right through St. Louis, Missouri again … our final route is going to be somewhat of a elongated figure eight. Or for my math folks, an infinity symbol.
The rocking chair was gigantic.
Almost all of our trip through Missouri, and much of Oklahoma was through the Ozarks, which aren’t exactly mountains. We looked it up and the Internet called them highlands. Nonetheless, it was a very beautiful drive, although similar most of the way. And actually, Oklahoma really surprised us. This is our first trip through Oklahoma and we didn’t expect it to look anything different than north Texas. It was actually rolling hills and lots of trees, at least the northeast section we drove through.
Other than refueling and pitstops and lunch we did we make one stop early in the day in Casey — pronounced Cazy if you’re a local — Illinois. Casey is famous for having many Guinness world records for largest things, and a few other very large things. It’s marketing genius as it brings in people from the interstate that would probably never enter into their small town.
