What's Woody Doing Now

Buying Candy For My Kids in Congo After Halloween

Kids in the Congo do not celebrate Halloween.  They are too poor for costumes.  And, families are too poor to have candy and other goodies.

So late tomorrow evening, I will buy candy for little ones in rural Bulape.  Oh, I will have to get a few pieces for the BIG kids, too.

Bye Denver and Heading Back to Indianapolis

Just 30 miles east of Denver. The view is breath-taking.

The Snow Welcomed Us to Colorado

As we crossed the state line into Colorado, there was snow on the side of I-70.

In Denver, we are at our destination.

Fields of Hops near Russell

There are fields of hops in vast Kansas farms. I resisted picking from the fields. I prefer it the blended and processed in beer. I may honor Kansas by drinking a wheat beer tonight.

Wind Power in Central Kansas

Wind the new energy source is plentiful in flat plains of Kansas. Hundreds of wind turbines are in operation.

Near Abilene on the west trail

Nothing to see. But we are still listening to 'Three Cups of Tea'.

The Land of Oz

The GAS read 545 miles to Denver but 516 miles to the next Interstate crossing. Welcome to the great US heartland. Entering the Flint Hills.

Just east of St Louis

The last rest stop in Illinois. My turn to drive. Ready for the Mississippi River and the 'Show Me' State.

Lunch and game pieces at Effingham

I turned down the super size meal and two extra pieces. No instant winner! Listening to 'Three Cups of Tea'.

Heading West on I-70

Just crossed in to Illinois on I-70 heading to Denver. Just under 1,000 miles to go. It still overcast with occasional sun. Planning to collect McDonald's game pieces along the way.
