Wyoming Trip, Part IV

This was our last day on the road, but we didn't know it when we left Dodge City. We slept late and went by Front Street in Dodge. I bought a t-shirt and some gifts for the teens at church. They should worry!!

Then, we were off across Kansas. All I've got to say is that it is better than Nebraska. That is, until we got to Wichita. We were detoured off the highway by several of Kansas' finest. Then, we had to work our way through the city to get back on the 4 lane. This was not fun. Finally, back on the interstate and oops....off on a toll road. Now, this is fun on a bike. So, we stopped at an Oasis where we gassed up and got money out for the toll. When we exited, I made a wrong turn and and to flip back around. More good times.

Then, off across the state...were we passed through Greensburg, home of the World's Largest Hand Dug Well...or what's left of it after the tornado...

We stopped in Springfield, MO for a nice Japanese dinner and then it was off for St. Louis. We arrive home around 11:30....after 14.5 hours on the road. Exhausted, smelly, and ready for a soft bed.

Total miles for today: 639.6

Total miles for trip: 1994.8
