I’m getting strangely excited about pushing my state high points count over 40 with this November’s proposed “Farmageddon<\/span> Tour”! I could stand to gain 6 or 7 state highpoints<\/span> as well as get a few more insights for chapters on my new book, which is non-highpoints<\/span> related.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Fremont<\/a>

Last year's summit of Taum Sauk is my most recent high point, though it feels like a lifetime ago. Look how small Fremont is!<\/p><\/div>\n

Now I’m guessing that it’s going to be hard to convince any of my friends to join because, let’s face it, you’re probably looking at 40+ hours in a car with a smelly guy and his smelly dog. And you’ll probably be pretty smelly too! Your reward: seemingly flat “high points”, a few visits to cowtowns<\/span>, and sleeping upside down in a cramped truck. It’s the toughest job you’ll ever love, especially if you like looking at corn. Or at least the empty fields where they grow corn. <\/span><\/p>\n

But if anyone is interested… (or if you know any pals in the mid-west that might offer a shower to a dude and his border collie)…<\/p>\n

Again though, adventure is adventure and I bet I can find some good stuff especially up north! I’m looking at Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin with perhaps a bonus of North Dakota. It leaves Arkansas as the odd state out, which I’ll have to figure out how to get\u00a0to down the<\/span>\u00a0road. Let the planning begin! And suggest your audio books now!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
