road trip part 1

on the road for my big kid job. as many of you know, photos do not pay the bills so i have a regular job that does. currently driving through the midwest for said job. although i have driven through the midwest before i have not really had reason to stop besides the essential gas/bathroom/food stops. turns out there are some cool things in the midwest, some strange things as well... enjoy
the midwest has a lot of barns, some in better shape than others

maybe the midwest's most famous residents

and some of the more bizarre residents, like a pink elephant

sticking with the elephant theme and adding the giant shirtless boy eating ice cream theme(please note the size by the car at the bottom right, this is no small shirtless boy)

made it to st. louis, great ball park would love to comeback for a game someday

and of course, the arch...
