Springfield to Salina - Road Trip Day 9

This has been a bit of a boring day. Nothing really exciting going on. The exciting part of the day was doing laundry. Yay. This was good, I had really started to run low on clean clothes.

Other than that we spent the day driving. Missouri is frankly kind of boring. Though I was confused to see super churches and adult superstores with about equal frequency... What are you trying to say Missouri?

Kansas is also about as boring as you have heard about. Yes they have farms. They have cows. They have lots of... nothing. It isn't really flat. There are a few small hills or gullies. There really aren't any mountains or even big hills though. Without many trees you basically get a 360 degree view of the horizon. Still after the first 30 miles, this gets pretty boring.

We stopped at a rest area a little after midnight. There was a little area behind the place across a little creek. We could see fireflies zooming around the fields. There was even and area which was perfect for pitching a tent. It was also much cooler than in Missouri. So we setup camp and went to sleep. I am not sure if this was specifically legal, but I didn't figure anyone would notice or really mind.
