Over the River and Through the Woods...Sort Of

The most direct route to Kansas City from the OKC area is I-35, which involves the long and rather extravagantly-priced Kansas Turnpike. But the most familiar route to me is the one we traveled when I was younger and we visited my grandparents who still lived there. It's got quite a bit of two-lane and several small-towns that mandate a slowdown in order to maintain the boredom level of the local constabularies. But tomorrow I help officiate at my grandmother's memorial service, so I thought I'd drive the older way, the way to Grandma's house. One last time.
