Default Road trip to Bowling Green

Road trip to The Bash. The country store and rolling Hiway picture are in the Missouri Ozarks. The church is outside Hays Kansas. The old car dealership is in Grant Nebraska as are the pictures of Union Pacific Train that I just retired from.

I wish the roads where I live were as smooth as the one in the hilly road picture. It is refreshing to see back road pictures instead of the same old boring highway pictures.

I also noticed the smooth country roads. So much better than the garbage we drive on here in San Disgo.

Yes he did. Two longs a short and a long. As a now retired Engineer for Union Pacific I wish I had a dollar for every crossing I blew during my Rail Road career.

And Missouri has one of the lowest gasoline taxes(ranked 47th) while ranked 6th in the number of road miles to maintain.
