We must be in Kansas...at the moment we are under a tornado watch and experiencing a severe thunderstorm. Exciting! Earlier a troop of tornado chasers motored through town.
The ride today was a piece of cake... 40 miles, flat, and 20 mph tail wind. We slept in , got up late, and cruised into Liberal in two hours. Tomorrow will be more of a challenge...83 miles and a forecast head wind.
We did our fifth border crossing. A high point was the Wizard of Oz Museum, next door to the motel. A group of us got to meet Dorothy and got a guided tour of the movie set by her. The museum was well done, but Dorothy was so cheesy, she was a hoot. This poor sixteen year old was dressed up in period cloths and pigtails, and was mortified when eight of us wanted our pictures with here and had endless questions about the Wizard of Oz. We all had a great laugh.
My brother-in-law and his wife, Bob and Jean, drove down from Garden City and gave Terry, Ian, and myself a tour of Liberal and took us to dinner at the Cattleman's. It was great to visit with them.
Stats: 40 miles, 20 mph avg speed, 300' climbing, 55 - 75 deg, 15 mph tail wind.
