It's a long road to Joplin...

Currently I'm sitting in the Holiday Inn in Joplin, Missouri. I'm up here with the University of Alabama-Huntsville cross-country team for the NCAA Div. II National meet. I took a few pictures today on the way up here. Mostly of the Ozark Mountains as we went through Arkansas. I'll take Arkansas scenery over Mississippi scenery any day...it's just so plain in MS...but the Ozarks are beautiful and wonderful and very engaging of the eyes.

I'm going to post some pictures and have more updates later.
