Here are the pictures from Day 10 (Chicago to Ankeny, IA). I only took one. The other ones are from Day 11 (Ankeny, IA to Wichita, KS).

Kansas City, MO/KS

The drive through Missouri was uneventful. I wanted to find a Starbucks, but there were none. I think for 150 miles or more. Not a single one. Can you believe that? Aren’t they usually on every block? :-) Finally ended up at a gas station where they had the gold peak ice tea. Yes of course had to be the sweetened one. :-) In Kansas City, MO stopped at Country Club Plaza. Strolled around there. Looked very pretty. After that tried to get back on the Interstate. Ended up crossing Stateline Road within the city. Thought that must be the state line into Kansas. No sign nothing. That was a new experience crossing into a new state without really knowing if you are in that state. The license plates changed to Kansas so that was an indicator. Finally checked the map and that confirmed that Stateline Road was the actual stateline.
How creative were they? There are two Kansas Cities. One in Kansas and another in Missouri.
Hit some good traffic coming out of Kansas City, KS. Didn’t think they would have traffic there. I’m not sure how it got so late. Probably due to my Zanzibar coffee adventure in the morning. :-) Still 2 hrs and 20 minutes to go.
Here is a picture of Kansas traffic. I know it’s really interesting as you guys don’t know what traffic looks like. :-)
Bethany, MO

Yeah I made it to Missouri. My first meal ever in my life in Missouri was at McDonalds. What news!!! LOL Bethany is a cowtown (Kuhdorf in German). Basically means quite small. It’s also very white. Oh my. I saw a sign which said: Report fuel tax evasion. I have no idea what you should do. It would be funny to call that number and ask: Can you help? I have stopped my car and I’m not sure if I’m evading the fuel tax. I’m afraid to go any further…. :-)
Here is my first picture of me in Missouri.
