Day 7/8 - Flat Lands (Kansas, Missouri, Illinois & Indiana)

The last 2 days of the drive was pretty boring as we crossed the plains of Kansas, halted overnight at Kansas City, crossed Missouri, Illinois and Indiana before we reached our final destination. Kansas is flat as a pancake with miles of croplands on both sides of the highway I-70:

The drive from Denver, Colorado started pretty early in the morning around 6-00 am. By noon we had almost covered the entire stretch of the I-70 and was mid-way in Kansas.The entire stretch of land in Kansas was mostly desolate with some signs of habitation here and there:

The drive from Kansas City through the states of Missouri, Illinois and Indiana had similar landscapes as the day before, but with more greenery and more trees:

As we entered Indiana, the mating calls of the cicadas could be heard even from the highway as we sped at 80 mph across the last stretch of our journey. We were so glad to reach home after being on the road for 8 days. Needless to say, this cross-country trip will be one of the most memorable journeys of our lives.
