On the road again heading west. Glenn and I had looked at the map and he had shown me a couple of alternate routes that were good to get us to Albuquerque, New Mexico. Ed and I listened to the weather and decided we would take the route across the middle of Kansas to Colorado Springs, Colorado then south to Santa Fe and on to Albuquerque. Kansas and Colorado are states we haven’t seen so we thought this would give us a taste of both states. Today’s drive took us through Illinois to Missouri, across Missouri to Kansas City and into Kansas. I was surprised when we drove through an area of rolling hills in Kansas as I always thought that Kansas was flat. We spent the night in Hays, Kansas at a Walmart.
