Day 7 of 11 Driving Across the USA

I woke up to a gorgeous, blue sky, climbed into the car and headed for Kansas City, MO. I would be staying with a friend I'd met on that same photo workshop from five years earlier, a wonderful photographer in his own right, Dick O'Kell.


Park, KS

The drive was beautiful across I70, flat, green fields and blue skies. I stopped in Park, KS to have a look-see at the giant church sticking tall out of the flats surrounded by dumpy, run-down homes. I didn't see a single child, woman or man in the entire neighborhood, although I did get to photograph a train crawling to the giant silos!

Dick and Beverly treated me to some yummy wine (I actually brought them a wine from Sedona that turned out to be quite good!) and good food. I felt amazingly blessed to be so well taken care of by Hotel O'Kell.

Slept well!!!
