We are on the way from De Smet to Keystone at the moment, and we've been enjoying amber waves of grain, and many corn fields, and oats, and soy, etc. Did not know the story about "America the Beautiful."

I was doing some research on "America the Beautiful" and found out that Katherine Lee Bates wrote it after she come down (by carriage) from Pikes Peak in 1893! Did you know that? She had gone across country from MA to CO - like you guys! - by train and was awed by the "amber waves of grain" in Kansas and then the "purple mountain majesties" of the Rockies. Hugs to all of you!
