On the other hand, the drive has become quite beautiful. We saw the flat plains of Nebraska make way to the green tables of land revealing striations of rock.
Alec: What's been your favorite state to drive through so far?
E: Hmm. . . Surprisingly, I kind of liked Missouri because of the radio stations. (ed. note: Surprise!)
Alec: I liked last part of Nebraska. The approach to St. Louis and the arch was really pretty.
E: That was nice, I guess. I didn't care for the construction.
Alec: How about least favorite?
E: Cheyenne, and St. Louis.
Alec: Can you elaborate?
E: Cheyenne can be seen entirely from the interstate. Just hideous land. St. Louis was just super dirty.
Alec: Yeah, Cheyenne is a real shithole, but I like STL.
We're ahead of our plans by more than a day. The gleam of arriving in four days is starting to seem possible. We're planning to get to Boise tomorrow, leaving an eight hour trip to Seattle the day after. I cannot wait to arrive, and feel that this travel blog may end a good deal sooner than we anticipated.
