Here we are.

Still going!

It's 4:27 AM and we're still going. We're somewhere between St. Louis
and Louisville on Interstate 64. we've been taking turns driving and
sleeping and it's worked well. I would take a picture but it's pretty
dark and all I see out of the windows are fields of white and dark
trees. We're in southern Illinois, soon we'll hop into Indiana for a few
miles, then down into Kentucky.

Happy to report that Chris drove all the way from Salt Lake City to

Topeka, Kansas. Now he'll sleep and I'll drive. I had the pleasure of

about 1.5 hours in scattered naps earlier today. On to Kansas City!

1001.3 miles into the trip

Almost to Topeka, Kansas.

Forgot to mention

Chris is still going strong. He's driven the whole way from Salt Lake to
our present location, 20 miles west of Salina, Kansas. He's starting to
get tired. Soon I'll take over and drive all night. Kansas City is still
a couple of hours away and we're thinking of just driving all the way
through to NC, or at least until we faint.

It's just us, a starry sky, and Axl Rose.

There are even trees in Kansas.

And clouds. Not many of them, but enough to make the sunset pretty.

There is so much sky here! And the colors layer themselves so carefully.

It's different than the sunsets in the desert, where the pink takes over

the whole operation. Here it's a layer of orange, a layer of yellow, a

layer of white, and then whatever's left of the blue. Truly beautiful.
