"It would be faster if we just cross southern Illinois. My cousin however, felt like going to Chicago... Also, our guest has not been to that city yet. So we changed course and drove to Chicago!"

"Next day, we really had to hurry up. We drove almost to the border of Missouri for our lunch. This was in the lively city of St. Louis. It’s also a stop for a quick photo op of the attraction: Gateway Arch. What we did not expect: St. Louis was especially alive that day, with a sea of people in red...

"...we had to make the hotel stop deep in Missouri to improve our pace. However, my cousin got intrigued with a ghost town named Picher, and asked me if it’s along the way. I saw that it wouldn’t be too far off the I-44, so we made the turn..."

"I relate to this statue as a former member of the Oil and Gas Industry...

"I picked an attraction in Tulsa, but pinned the lunch place at a town before the city, thinking we should go to a less busy area.

"We rejoined the I-40 and started driving through the north tip of Texas. A big city in that part is Amarillo, this is our pinned stop for late lunch/early dinner. Before lunch though, we dropped by the Cadillac Ranch..."

"...an old diner... no longer abandoned, as made evident by the 'No Trespassing' and 'Private Property' signs. We wonder what the owner plans to do with it..."
