This actually posted before I wanted it to...so I think I will finish it...
Most of the photo shots I have gotten have been taken from the coach at 65 or 70 mph...this is not the way to see the country...but...I did get some kinda-good shots of some nationally known things...like the arch in Kansas City... We will go back someday ands see and explore all of the areas that we blew through in that incredible 8 days...
We crossed the Mississippi several times on our trip out and back... but this time I got pictures...well, of the sign and the bridge...I do have a picture of the river it's self somewhere in my archives, but who knows where at this moment...
Really not much better than the regular roads...you just have to pay to drive on them...

Is this a beautiful country, or what???
