Left Topeka and it was fun traveling through the rolling countryside. The trees are budding and the vegetation is much further along as we travel further East. Also hit the first toll road in Kansas going into Kansas City, KS. Funny, Kansas City in Kansas is only 141,000 while Kansas City, MO is 440,000. Started to hit more truck traffic as we went across Missouri. Went through St Louis and across the Mississippi into Illinois. Tried to get a picture of the Arch as we went by, but the highway overpass prevented that.
Pretty flat land around here, the fields seem flooded and the wetlands are pretty "wet". I think the flooding along the Mississippi is starting down here! We arrived here in Evansville and may drive along the Ohio River tomorrow morning as a change from the Interstate driving.
Decided not to stop at Scott AFB as it was still early in the day when we crossed into Illinois. We'll see how the day progresses tomorrow as we head over to Louisville, and perhaps into Cincinnati.
