Some time ago a couple of graduate students proved that Kansas is flatter
than a pancake. It sure seems so this afternoon. We crossed from Colorado
into Kansas about 3 p.m. And then promptly lost an hour as we crossed into
Central Time Zone.

We are planning to push on to Salina, Kansas. We should be there about 8
p.m. CDT. Today is the long driving day with nothing to distract us from
driving. We’re both tired as we didn’t sleep well last night. Tonight will
be better — we’re tired enough to sleep regardless of the strangeness of
the bed.

Sometime we need to come back to Kansas to spend some time. There actually
seems to be a lot to this state. The Visitor’s Center as we drove into the
state was nicely appointed and stocked with a lot of information. In
addition to the world’s largest ball of twine and the largest groundhog,
it’s also the home of President Eisenhower and Amelia Erhart as well as a
number of other noteables. In any case, I’m sure hoping that moving a few
miles away from I-70 will be more interesting than this highway is!
