Ride across the USA

[Stichill_imp]

Looks like you saw some desolation on your way east, Django.

Yesterday I started out in Cuchara.



If you ever happen to be in that area, ride the scenic bypass highway 12 to Trinidad. It's well worth it if you like scenic and twisties.







After that the landscape became flat,



meeting a train,



even more flat.



In Germany we have a saying, if you are in the middle of nowhere, you are in "Pampa". Here we are:



Yesterday was highway day, riding thru those little morbid towns, partly abandoned. After staying the night at the KOA near Elk City, today was Interstate day and the Ozarks in the afternoon.

Near Oklahoma City the traffic get more crowded.



That's Oklahoma City



and after burning some more gas we enter Arkansas.



The Ozarks I really like! Lots of twisties and no speed limit beside the 55 miles. Arkansas seems not to pamper the traffic like they do in Colorado.



This night I stay in Kingston. Seems to have seen better times, too.

I'm curious. In what sense do you mean this? I don't fully grasp the observation.
