Dust in the Wind

We did it. We managed to get up and drive across the last bit of Missouri, the entirity of Kansas and end up in Lamar, Colorado for the evening. It was a long day of driving with not much steering wheel involvement... We may have been able to get across the state with pedals only, something to try next time?

As we traveled, we compiled a video of some of the exciting activities that you can partake in while you are visiting Kansas:

The excitement for the day came at the tail end when we encountered a band of severe thunderstorms. We stopped at Porky's Parlor in Syracuse and watched the visibility reduce to the point that we couldn't see across the street. It turned out that the area has been suffering from drought and is getting dust storms similar to those of the dust bowl era. The rain and thunder did come, but the storm was unlike anything that we had ever experienced. After riding it out with chimichangas and enchildas we got on the road and drove into a beautiful sunset, finally arriving in Colorado!

We're on our way to Great Sand Dunes National Park for some dune surfing!
