The Oregon Trail - Day 24

Before saying good-bye to Wall, we just had to try their world famous breakfast and homemade donuts.  Wouldn't you know this day the donuts were not ready yet!!!  Ugh!!!  Oh well, the breakfast was great and we were on the road again.  One more look at one of the big dinosaurs as we fill up with gas across the highway.    80 feet!!!




About the only thing I can say about this leg of the trip home was that it is really hard to compete with what we have already experienced.  Corn fields and hay bales were just not overly interesting.  About the most exciting thing we did was take Hwy 23 in Kansas.  It turned out to be a one lane dirt road running down the middle of a corn field for several miles.  This turn of events made us feel lots better about our Mississippi roads. 


Oil wells and sunset pictures were about all my tired little camera clicking finger could handle.  Sunsets are beautiful no matter where you are.  Sure would be nice if some of those many oil wells were on our little piece of the world in Mississippi. 



Marmalade's Side of the Story

Oh yes, Sidney, Nonnie told it right.  There was not much to see, so I just played on the back seat and thought about getting home and giving my snuggy buggy a big hug. 

Can you believe they would sell Santa's reindeer skins at Wall Drug?  Oh my goodness!   At least they did not have any giraffe hides for sale.
