We have driven about 500 miles so far. It is 8:30 p.m. and we have stopped for dinner at a Country Kitchen in Hannibal, MO.
Driving through Iowa was pretty for a while. And then everything looked the same. The same fields, the same cows, the same silos and barns. If not for the occassional decorative water tower I would have been convinced we were going in circles.
We crossed over the border to Missouri and things changed. There were hills and trees and different structures to look at.
But the most fun has been the conversations.
It has been an informative ride so far. Getting to know new people is always intersting. Listening to people tell their stories of who they are and what they do. It starts out slow for some people, before they really open up. Others will jump right in and tell all.
We have taken turns driving about 3 hours shifts. I will be in the drivers seat at about 1 a.m. I am a little nervous about driving that, um, bus. I am telling you -- that thing is ginormous! At least is will be late at night and there shouldn't be many vehicles on the road.
It's all good.
By the time I write next, we should have been through a couple more states. From here we are going to Arkansas, Tennessee and then Mississippi. By the time the sun comes up, we should be in Jackson, Mississippi. (I just love typing that word! Mississippi.)
Dinner is here. All for now.
Peace.

- I have been a writer and photographer for the Mille Lacs Messenger for around six years now. Messin' with the news is what it is - unedited, uncensored and sometimes, perhaps, unnerving. You might find some behind-the-scenes -- story-behind-the-story type story or stuff from stories that never made the paper. There may be weekend entertainment info, maybe backstage interviews. Or even stories about my crazy family and friends and our wild adventures. You just never know what will show up on Messin' With the News. So come back often. If you like it, tell your friends. If you don't like it, tell me. (Of course, you can tell me if you like it, too!) I am always willing to listen.
