Traveling the States

Hello from Tucamcari, New Mexico this morning. Anyone who has been in other states of the US knows that each state has some very unique identies. Thus when you travel from state to state the scenery changes and the state becomes its own. Tulsa, OK was just WOW I'm out of Missouri. But let me tell you about Missouri first where I started. Springfield, Missouri has a McDonald's ice cream cone which costs 46 cents and 53 cents after taxes as compared to Hannibal which are $1.00 plus 9 cents tax. That is another WoW. In Joplin, MO gasoline was $2.469 per gallon. So, moving along, to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, which during daytime the oil derecks can be seen as well as the oil wells pumping. Oklahoma also has that unique red soil and lots of cattle. The stockyards which you pass have there own odor going on as well and it is very definitely identifiable. In Oklahoma, senior coffee is only 38cents a cup at McDonalds, but, gasoline is back up to $2.799per gallon. That price was stable for the rest of the trip. Now Texas has some wide open spaces and lots of them old cotton fields down home. Also there was an abundance of the plane propeller type wind mills. The trees that you can see along the highways in Texas look very windblown. They all seem to lean to the north. New Mexico has a lot of small trees, I call them large shrubs. When you scan the land it looks dotted with the trees across the scene.The trees are a dark green and the ground is now more yellow and you see a lot off cliffs.
