Kansas - April 27, 2004
And the drive across Kansas.
Missed the state welcome sign for Kansas, but got the Kansas City, Kansas, city limit.
[2048x1536]
Getting onto the Kansas Turnpike.
[2048x1536]
I-70 is the Kansas Turnpike near KC.
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
I-70 leaves, but we're staying on the Kansas Turnpike, now I-470.
[2048x1536]
Taking us to Topeka.
[2048x1536]
I-470 and the Kansas Turnpike.
[2048x1536]
I-470 leaves the turnpike in South Topeka.
[2048x1536]
And the turnpike heads for Wichita on I-335.
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
That's redundant.
[2048x1536]
Driving along the Kansas Turnpike.
[2048x1536]
We join I-35.
[2048x1536]
..which continues us on toward Wichita.
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
Continuing along the Kansas Turnpike.
[2048x1536]
We didn't see many range fires.
[2048x1536]
Old-looking oil stuff along side the road.
[2048x1536]
Operating oil well.
[2048x1536]
This is our exit in Wichita.
[2048x1536]
Wichita.
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
Heading west out of Wichita on US 54 and US 400.
[2048x1536]
Flatness of south central Kansas.
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
In Greensburg, we stopped briefly at the world's largest hand-dug well.
[2048x1536]
It's a Big Well.
[2048x1536]
[2048x1536]
And it's also the home of the World's Largest Pallasite Meteorite.
[2048x1536]
The meteorite.
[2048x1536]
They want to make sure you can find the Big Well.
[2048x1536]
Continuing west out out Greensburg.
