Kansas City Crossroads Convenience 

Do you prefer to look back or look ahead in life? Why?

“I stood at a crossroads and didn’t dare to look back at the road behind me – the road littered with monotony, complacency and other people’s expectations.” (Sarah Penner).        

Leaving from South Florida on our road trips, I’m always looking for a location that provides convenient crossroad options when looking ahead past the Mississippi River corridor. While those densely crowded cities of Houston and Dallas,Texas can be considered here, it makes better sense for me to find a more centralized  U.S. location where I could best encounter unexpected circumstances and adjust my routing itinerary in any direction as needed. Take for instance yesterday’s spontaneous decision to road trip reroute to Kansas City, Missouri which provided a calm and convenient location before setting out to visit some past neighbor friends a short drive later northwest  in Lincoln, Nebraska. Happily as well, this Kansas City decision did not jeopardize our time frame allotment for continuing on our overall northern itinerary of this trip. With sufficient time to spare and light traffic on this night, we thus enjoyed a sumptuous barbecue dinner and enjoyable tour of some favorite K.C. sights. Enjoy the photos.
