Another 500 mile day finds us in the Wal-Mart parking lot just east of Kansas City on I-70. The driving improved from light rain in Indianapolis to a sunny day just as we passed through St. Louis.
In Illinois 5 tractor trailers were strewn about in the median in Illinois. They apparently were hit by a tornado or very strong winds that threw them off the road and their cargoes were everywhere. Don't know if any drivers were hurt, but what a mess. We were very fortunate to have been just rattled around some in a windy thunderstorm.
Farms, farms, and more farms. The landscape is very bland to look at but thank God for those who work this wonderful soil to bring us all manner of inexpensive food.
The weather promises to be good for the next couple of days. Tomorrow we'll visit some folks and stay overnight (yeh, a shower!) in Topeka that Carol met on the Internet through her Wooliedales business.
We had a wonderful dinner buffet at a place called Golden Corral, apparently a franchise in this part of the country, but this is the first one we'd seen. An amazing deal for @20 bucks for two people. Wonderful steak, beef ribs, chicken roasted or fried and oodles of veggies and salads and you name it! Such a deal!!
Dogs are doing so very well. We and they are on the same bathroom break schedule, so it works out fine for all of us.
