End of Day 2

Today was a VERY long day.  At least it felt that way.  We started out in Missouri, and continued on route 70 (which is pretty much the road most of our journey is on)

Kansas is the most BORING. STATE. EVER.  We drove through it before awhile ago, and I remember it being a big state.  Whatever I remembered was not nearly as long as it felt this time.  The scenery is unique, but I felt like every time I checked our location, we had barely moved across the state!

No wonder they call it Big Sky country.  All you really see is sky.  It seems like you can see so far.  We were able to see a whole train today too.  Its so odd, because in PA I’m so used to only seeing a few cars at a time and having no idea how long the train actually is.  Here you can see every single car, and just how far it stretches across the scenery.

The bad part about today (besides being in the car for hours and hours) was the HEAT.  It was over 100’ most of the day, and of course my engine started to overheat.  So April and I spent a lot of today with the air conditioning off, going slowly, and trying to survive with just the windows open.  It was miserable, so we stopped at Pizza Hut to get some dinner and let the sun set a little more.  After that it cooled off enough that we were able to use the air conditioning again.

Now we’re at a hotel near the border of CO, and it feels so good to shower and get ready for bed.  Tomorrow I get to move into my new apartment!!!!
