Still in Kansas - Things are Looking Better*

*I need to preface this by saying that Karma can really be a b****.  After my previous entry I have been subjected to extreme wind gusts (not a lot of fun when pulling this big of a trailer), severe lightning and thunder storms (kept Janet up all night), tornado watches (also kept Janet up all night), a very tired spouse (see previous) and a second bout of "gum on shoe" (seriously, how hard is it to throw your gum away!).  So to appease the Kansas gods I present the following.

In all seriousness, once we got past Salina going east things really improved from a landscape perspective.  Contrary to popular notions, Kansas is not one big flat plain.  It is actually a very pretty state with rolling green hills and expansive wooded areas.  We haven't provided enough time here to really explore, but I think we may want to come back and take a better look at this part of our great country.  We were told by some Kansas natives that the area around Wilson Lake and Lucas were particularly interesting places to go.  The town we stayed in last night (Paxico) has a nice homey, small town feel that may be worth exploring as well.  Alas, today we head further east to Missouri since that is where our mail will be going and we have some real life chores to attend to.  Hopefully we get a chance in the future to get to know Kansas a little better.
