We left Cuba Sunday morning and stayed the night in Mound City, MO. The next morning was very chilly. We had brought electric underwear but didn't think we would use them in the lower 48. You're always learning something new on the road. We have stayed toasty warm.
Cold weather gear...
When you're in Kansas, the sky is so big! It makes you feel like a flea on an elephant's rear.
In the afternoon, we saw a big storm cell up ahead and got into our rain gear. The closer we came to the cell, the bigger and darker it got. The only way was forward. The road looked like it was going straight into the center of the mess. When we got to the edge of it, looking up you could see the clouds roiling, lightning flashing. It had to be at least a couple of miles across. On one side, there was a cloud system swirling in a circular shape. Not a good sign. There was so much dynamics going on it felt like we were looking up at a Nebula. The road would take us under the storm, then gently sweep us to the edge. Teasing us the whole time. It was one of the most awe inspiring experience! We only got a few sprinkles the whole time.
Looking back at the storm...
Mr. Bill decided to join us on our trip.
Stayed at a truck stop that had a great restaurant.
O.k., what are these? Give you a clue... We are in Kansas which is known for their corn and beef.
