Iowa: A sign for a rest area advertising 'Modern Restrooms'. I'm not sure I want to know what the un-modern ones are like...
On the way back, I stopped in Ackley to pick up some Mountain Dew. On the way into town, I passed the Ackley police SUV. I found him later on the edge of town, waiting by the side of the road to see if I broke the speed limit on the way out. I didn't.
Missouri: Specifically Kansas City, during the noon rush hour. Cute little gray sports car comes rushing up behind me at about 90. Comes very close to my tail, then continues weaving around traffic. My reaction upon seeing it pulled over 10 minutes later? "Hah."
Oklahoma: A place just south of the Will Rogers Turnpike, called "Safari Dave's", I think. Advertised Giant Snakes, something called 'Largest Chair', and Pony Rides.
Oklahoma has some really pretty country.
Oklahoma also has long stretches of nothing but country music radio stretches.
