Snipper found some Steinbeck to rewrite and claim as his own. This,
of course, is cheaper and easier than actually visiting these places.

And a lot easier than composing your own prose, Steinbeck or
otherwise. Snipper is right however about the scenic beauty on the
west coast of Kansas, with those quaint little one convenience store
towns every 20 miles, and those great gleaming grain elevators
reaching to the sky. I think Steinbeck may have had a few words to
say about Oklahoma, just south of there.
