We traveled by bus through El Salvador and Guatemala to get to Copan, Honduras. The border at Guatemala was lined with semi trucks waiting for their paperwork to be cleared so that they could cross the border from El Salvador. The line of trucks on the sides of the road must have been at lest 5 miles long. Tighter restrictions to prevent the drug cartels from using overland transportation to move illegal drugs into Guatemala and limited personnel to search the trucks, drivers can wait several days to cross. The highway was quite narrow there were no measures to accommodate the wall of parked trucks creating only one lane traffic. Jaime did a fabulous job weaving in-between the parked semis. At one point just when he started to gain some movement, on a blind curve mind you, three times he had to back up to allow the trucks the right of way. We reached to border station, filed off the bus only to dodge two local cows, half-crazed running around the cars, buses and people in the parking lot. And it was raining.

Therefore, Kansas and Oklahoma! The goal of this trip was to shoot Natural Falls in Siloam Springs, Oklahoma. Never made it. We spent a lot of time on Kansas. All the road tips to Indiana to see family, there is absolutely nothing to shoot in Kansas, well not off I-70 anyway. It wasn't until we headed south to Wichita that we found some cool stuff. First stop was Monument Rocks in Gove County. Kansas. Rock formation in the middle of farm land. Erich flew the drone around and we snapped a few photos - great start to the trip!! Camera: Fuji XT3 Wichita is really a nice city with a new-ish city center. The Keeper of the Plains greets visitors on sacred Indian ground between the Little Arkansa and the Arkansa Rivers.
