It's a long way from Colorado Springs to Southern Pines (NC)

Grain silos and grain farms...

...plus wind farms in Kansas

There was a monarch butterfly having lunch...

and a nice sunrise in Webster Grove, IL

Today's adventure was 'pickin' and grumblin' in Southern Pines, NC

SOUTHERN PINES, NC - - After a bit over 1,820 miles of mostly I-64 from Colorado Springs, CO, we've landed for a few days in West End, NC.  There's were a  whole lot of miles and miles of wide open spaces; grain silos and small farming towns; huge wind farms (and if you've ever driven across Kansas you'll realize why) and then rolling and small mountains once you reach Virginia / West Virginia.
     Saturday in Southern Pines is farmers market time with a hot rod show just down the street.  The special attraction was Heritage Fair by the Moore County History Assn.  A great time to dress in your ancestors clothes.
