"COME ON AND EASE ON DOWN THE ROAD"

We are on the grid again and out of the prairies. This is a quickie post because I have a suspicion that I am going to be taking a lot of photos later this afternoon when we reach Tucumcari, NM. I wanted to take a couple of minutes to share a few shots from yesterday.

People warned us that Kansas was a long boring ride. We broke it up, took side roads to the south of I 70 and made a point to stop at a cool political sculpture garden off of Rt 54. We did not readily find it we stopped at a little gas station surrounded by windmills and dust and asked a customer buying his supply if Sunday Gatorade if he knew of it. Yes he did. He knew exactly as his son-in-law works there. "Heck - I am going right by it. Just follow me." His big white muffler impaired truck chugged along and he got us there in minutes. He wished us safe travels and puttered away.

From there we headed quickly to Liberal, Kansas, a border town with Oklahoma and home of Dorothy's house. It was hokey but a good place to stop for the night and give our munchkin spirits a rest. We ended up in another motel for the wifi and comfort. We have been traveling the last two days in wonder bread white land and it is really comforting for me to be here with some diversity and several Mexican restaurants. We ate well. I slept very well. I love camping but a nice comfy bed is also much appreciated.


Well I have to go now and "Ease on Down the Road" -  Thank you Kansas an chau to the Wiz.
