Greetings from Springfield, Missouri........

We said good-bye to our dear friends at Gros Ventre Campground after work Friday and headed east. We have stopped for the night at a KOA campground out in the Missouri countryside and officially ticked off 1341 miles of our trip back home. Crossing the US heartland is always our least favorite part of the journey, but after several days of temperatures in the upper 20's and 30's in the Tetons, I will admit that this time both of us were more than ready to exchange winter coats for t-shirts, roll down the windows, and enjoy the warm Kansas and Missouri sunshine.

Photos from the last few days definitely did not capture anything to compare to the incredible scenery from the first part of our trip, but several were unique enough to make the "cut" for this post.....


Wild Bill and moose along the
 sculpture walk at National Museum
of Wildlife Art before leaving Jackson Hole.



Sunset near Togwotee Pass as we left


Cool cowboy town we passed through


Unfortunately this place and almost
 everything else in town was out of business


Interesting point near Lebanon, Kansas


It was surprising to discover
at the center of the USA this
wee prayer chapel and three
crosses in the adjoining field.
Encouraging that the Supreme
Court or some left wing group
hasn't attempted to remove
them!

Sign on Kansas gas station that perfectly
describes our location today!
