It never ceases to amaze me just how empty and wide open a large part of our country is. I'm struck time and again as we make our way across the heartland how much nothing there really is out here.

| Into the great wide open... |
At the same time there is also no shortage of things to pause and wonder at. Work and leisure travel have had us on the road almost 10 of the past 12 months. It's been an interesting time for us and I've seen more of the middle of the country than I ever have before. These are a few pictures from those travels.

| From the top of this lookout you can see for miles.... |
 |
| ...the day I was there it was overcast but still a pretty nice view. |
 |
| Nice rest area |

| Welcome to Boone Iowa |
 |
| Beer garden in Des Moines, IA |
 |
| You can see the iconic St. Louis Arch for miles... |
 |
| Plenty of blue sky... |
 |
| ...and wide open spaces. |

 |
| As a thank you to veterans... |
 |
| ...for their service to our country. |
 |
| Welcome to Tennessee... |
 |
| ...and the Great Smoky Mountains. |
 |
| The odd granite monument that is the Georgia Guidestones |
While we don't know what the next year will hold we're looking forward to all of the sights...
And all of the the roads we've yet to travel...
Happy travels...wherever the road may take you.
