11/3/11 Columbia MO to Stratton CO

We left Columbia, MO in the pouring rain. It rained all the way to Kansas City, MO when the storm lifted and the sky turned blue. We had heard there was going to be a blizzard which we weren't looking forward to driving in. Luckily that storm never developed!

On our "off road" ride out of Hays, Kansas.

Our GPS, Wanda (named as we always "wonda" where she is taking us) did take us on an interesting route. It started OK but then she had us turn down a dirt road, which was OK as we thought it was a short cut to a major road. But, when she had us turn left and we were greeted with a big sign that said NO OUTLET, we decided she had no idea where she was taking us so turned around and back tracked.
