Day Two: Salina, KS to Sidney, NE

Total Miles Today: 614 miles
Total Miles Trip: 1027 miles

Sorry I didn't post last night, but we didn't make it to a hotel until 11 PM (midnight Dallas time), so we just crashed!

Yesterday morning we got up, cleaned up, packed up, then headed downstairs for breakfast. Delicious food and great service (which should have been our first clue). We are eating and chatting until the waitress asks if this will be one ot two checks? Huh? It's not free? I had to run upstairs and get money. $20 later......

We hit the Salina mothership (aka Walmart) for a few provisions and then we decide to go east to Wamego to see the Wizard of Oz museum. What a cute town and what a neat museum. We hit the Oz Winery and stock up. Then we find a cute shop and buy purses, sunglasses, and jewelry.

As we head back to Salina, we stop for lunch in Junction City and the Eisenhower Presidential Library in Abilene. We make it back to Salina around 5 PM.

So we start to drive. Denver is our goal. As we drive through very boring parts of Kansas, we start talking that we should go ahead and hit Nebraska and Montana while we are here. So we drive into Colorado and instead of hitting Denver, we hit Burlington and go north into Nebraska. We drove for 6 hours yesterday once we left Celina for the 2nd time.

So now it's morning and we are in Sidney, NE. We are moving slow since we only have 200 miles to go today.

South Dakota, here we come!! Mt. Rushmore, see ya on the 4th!
