We headed up a few miles on MO 71 this morning to get pictures of the solar cars on their way to Kansas.
There were people standing beside the road, near overpasses, anywhere they could get a good look.
Once the first car popped over the horizon, we were joinning with everyone else - hooting and pointing. The kids in the support vehicles seemed just as excited, honking their van horns and waving back.
The only thing missing was the sound from the race vehicles. I had forgotten until today that they are completely quiet except for the sound of the tires on the pavement.
After a weekend of war movies with the pre-teens, the silence got my attention.
No pollution. No noise. Could be good.
