Follow the yellow brick road

Current location: Kansas City, MO
Current weather: Heavy rain 63
Miles traveled today: 463.3
Total miles traveled: 4,163.3


Today we left Guymon, OK, and I was actually pretty sad. I was sad not because Guymon is such a great place, but because as we were gassing up the truck the storm chasers were gathering for the day. You know its going to be a good severe weather day when you see the chasers in your town. In fact as I write this, there are 3 tornadoes on the ground in Texas and Oklahoma. On our way out, we did however stop in Liberal, KS, to see the official house from the Wizard of Oz.

We then played for a bit in the Munchkins playground and then we were off on our way again. I feel Nathan really got the shaft when it came to driving today. We stopped on the west side of Wichita, and by the time we were on the east side the skies opened up. It didn't stop raining the rest of the way, and most of it was HEAVY rain with quarter sized hail mixed in at times. We made it to Kansas City a little later than we expected, and on fumes as you can see from the picture, but we made it none the less!
Next up....West Lafayette, IN
