Leg #3 of my Cross-Country trip

Had a friend with me so I thought it'd be weird to record a video. Here's photos instead.
We left Colorado Springs, CO SUPER early in the morning (6am - check out the first photo!). By 10am we were both amazed that we'd driven halfway to Kansas City and it was only 10am. Setting off early is great for roadtrips if you can afford it sleep-wise.
As we entered Kansas, we ran into the weirdest weather I've seen these past two weeks: really intense fog. Or clouds. I guess there isn't much a different between the two. See Photo no.s 2 & 3. I almost wanted to slow down to 60mph, but then I realized that I wasn't gaining much visibility by slowing down so I went back up to 70.
We drove through Kansas for something like 7 or 8 hours. Then we drove to the Kansas City International Airport to pick a friend up... wonderful dear Google Maps decided to give us directions to a KCI Airport SERVICE ROAD instead. It was funny. The last photo was taken on our way out from the service road... narrow country road, corn farm on one side (not sure if you can see the corn farm), no road signs at all. Thank God for road signs.
All-in-all, it was quite an interesting drive, largely because of the company, but also thanks to the greenery. Stopping at a rest stop in the middle of Kansas reminded me of home (Singapore) - warm, green, humid and cloudy.
Also, the friend we picked up at the airport is dating the guy who owns the Accord I was driving. Needless to say she was a little weirded out that she'd just flown to Kansas City, far far away from California, and was again sitting in her boyfriend's car. Something about that made me happy. lol. :)
