We're not in Kansas anymore Toto....or wait yes we are!!!

So today we left El Dorado, KS for Johnston, Iowa and we are taking a soy latte break.  We were slated to stay in a campground at El Dorado State Park last night, but thanks to Stephen and myself procrastinating yesterday morning we didn't leave on time and then were driving late and the bloody GPS got screwed up and took us on a crazy goose chase looking for the campsite....we ended up booking into the Stardust Motel and let me tell you...it looked like the location the latest psychotic prison thriller was filmed.  I was even too scared to shower and the towels looked like something out of another horror film!!! Anyway, we saw some intriguing sights yesterday as we drove through Texas, west Texas that is, and by intriguing I mean DISGUSTING!!! We saw these massive cattle factory farms...it was so seriously scary.  It smelled so awful and we saw all these poor cattle with NO shade literally piled on top of one another fighting for access to the feeder so they could stuff themselves on (no doubt GMO)grains...anyway- we aren't posting any pictures of this because we heard it may be ILLEGAL to take pictures of farms in the near future...another thing we would like to address was the amount of trash (mostly broken beer bottles, beer cans and cigarette butts) that were all over the State Park we paid money to enter.  We wanted to go and have a nice relaxing morning by the lake and there was TRASH EVERYWHERE!!! What kind of people litter like this? We could not begin to fathom why anyone would act so inappropriately....or wait...could we???  Well, the latte has run dry and we must hit the road!!!!!!!!!
