Spring Ice

Oddly cool weather brought the juxtaposition of ice and greenery to this stretch of Interstate 44 near Arlington, MO, this past Saturday, April 7.



I find the stalactite-like ice particularly appropriate because Missouri is "the cave state." The ice is on the north wall of the south side of a roadcut on this part of the interstate; the view is looking southwest.



This curvy bit of I-44 is used by Route 66 aficionados because RT66 is discontinuous in this area, requiring a brief stint on I-44 to make the jump.
