The (Very) Long Road Home



This is about all we've seen for the last couple of days. We left Kansas City on Wednesday afternoon and cut diagonally south west on highway 54 almost to the border. We'd planned to stay in Dodge City ( which I was really excited about) but were thwarted when we couldn't find accommodations and had to go on to Liberal KS instead. It was a bit of a haul almost to the border. The highway was smaller than the big interstates so it was more sparsely populated and took us through really empty farmland. Just one grain elevator after another with clusters of diners and abandoned buildings surrounding. We both thought it was great and would stop to look at old signs or try to find out what things were. That was a kick.
