June 29, 2007: I took a little ride to Greensburg this morning. If you think you are having a bad day take a look at the result of a tornado that went through this town about 8 weeks ago.

June 26, 2007: I followed the Santa Fe Trail for most of the last leg of the trip to Dodge City so thought I should find out some more about it. I took off this morning on a 'self-guided' tour of Dodge City historical sites the brochure listed 7 sites around the town. I found the first couple of places and noticed that 4 of the 7 had the note "no evidence of them remains today"! I did make it to a spot about 5 miles west of town where if you look real hard you can see the wagon tracks on the Santa Fe Trail. Kinda neat!

June 24, 2007: On the road early this morning, 7:45, well it's early for me! Took Highway 10 to La Junta and saw 10 cars in the first 60 miles! I saw more deer than that! Lots of grazing land and cattle. As the land flattened out I began to see farms as I approached the Kansas state line. More and more farming as I went farther east, alfalfa, corn, wheat and cattle feed lots. You may think that you know what a large feed lot smells like, YOU DON'T!
