Yeh, do it - if you're coming through Missouri (unlikely), then give me a shout. America has fantastic cities, all similar yet unique. A great countryside, too, from sprawling suburbs and exurbs, farmland and forest and wilderness - it's possible to not see a fence for hours, even in town. It's all as valid and worth seeing as any other part. Take state routes, not the Interstate, go into little towns and see the (sometimes) immaculately kept little squares with their 19th century buildings in all states of repair, in others see the desolation and charity shops left in the wake of the Walmart out by the highway, see the industries old and new, go to the mom and pop diners and the chains - you could spend your whole life going places you've never heard of and only scratch the surface. People are people, there are only regional and subregional tendencies to certain traits, and not everybody has those. Good folks everywhere - in the country, in the hills, in the bars and in the store. Don't rush, meet people and listen, stay for a while.
