To Infinity and beyond...

Naming a vehicle you are spending the next 2 weeks in exploring America, is damned near impossible.
Family Truckster?  
Big black poop?  
To Infinity and Beyond?  Eh that's more of the title of our family adventure.   We got lucky enough (the car Gods were with us in the airport car rental counter) and we managed to get the Infinity QX60.  Now for a name.....
The Premium Gas Guzzler?
Yet again missing my oldest son.   He has already missed one rousing game of He Who Smelt it Dealt it.    Dios Mios.  I couldn't find the switch for the sunroof fast enough.  Imagine someone pulled the pin from a grenade and scrambling to find the pin to reinsert it. Same thing.
Stopping in these small towns makes me love my country even more.  Quaint old towns with populations of 600,  that don't bat an eye when you stop to take pictures.  Miles upon miles up in miles of corn take up your viewing pleasure.  This is just a small glimpse into the farming infrastructure of America.  
Atlanta Illinois. Just stop there.  It's small but large in heart.  The gift shop was run by a sweet lady with the most spirited heartland drawl, full of hometown pride.


Miles to go before we sleep in St. Louis.
