Just outside Groom, Texas a man decided to build the largest cross in the western hemisphere.
So he did. And you can see it from miles away. Perfect site on a crisp Sunday morning!

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Simple Enough.

The tomb of Ramseys-Smith the XIII. Actually I have
no idea why there is a pyramid in Memphis, but there is.

This was my view through Eastern Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Northern Georgia. Pretty, but kinda boring.

Then these shear rock walls would pop out, giving a hint as to what the crust looks like here. Later on I passed a wall that was recently blasted and could see each drilling hole from the top to the roadway. Pretty cool.

All in all it was a beautiful drive from the desert of California to the familiar alpine forests of northern Arizona, to the high desert and canyons of New Mexico to the rolling plains of Texas, to the scattered woodland of Oklahoma and the swamps of Arkansas, and finally the densely wooded corridors of Tennessee and Georgia. Some day I hope I can retrace route 66 and actually enjoy the sites!
