After leaving Hannibal, we headed to Chillicothe, MO to visit friends. There I procured my new white hat. |
Gate guard at Chillicothe, a thunder chief something something. |
Tom and Barbara Culling offered us gracious hospitality which included Missouri BBQ and lightning bugs! Barb also insisted on playing "Somewhere in Time" for me which was marvelous. |
Wisconsin farmland. |
Can someone tell me why farmers make such beautiful designs? Throughout the country we found crop circles and patterns, but no one seems to know the purpose. |
Dairy land in Wisconsin. |
Lots of ponds and waterways with algae and duck weed, the tiniest blooming flower in the world (apparently). |
The face of a pilot about to land in Oshkosh! |
In the pattern at Oshkosh. |
On downwind for 27, looking at Lake Winnebago. |
We were cleared to land on the numbers. |
As we landed on the numbers, a plane was landing halfway down the runway on a dot in front of us while our friend Nick was cleared to land on the numbers right behind us. Crazy times! |
Happy, happy man. |
Watching T-6s come in for landing. |
Using my short lens because I'm so close! |
After landing, we found our deluxe accommodations at the University of Wisconsin dormitory. Twin beds, no a/c, communal showers. Ugh. |
Recycling in prison is a nice touch, huh? (Kidding!) |
