the good thing about road trips is being able to take videos. so when you get settled post them up.

Well I am more of photo guy vs. a video guy, but I will dig out the camera when we get into NM and AZ.

We are spending tonight in Springfield, MO. And I never thought it was possible, but drivers in Missouri are the worst, most aggressive drivers in the country. They make NY and NJ drivers look like wimps. They ride your ***, cut you off and then give you the finger for passing them.

Here are a few pictures of the trip so far...
