The long journey over the midwestern prairie. We drove through Kansas City, which is in Missouri not Kansas.
We avoided the toll road to Topeka, travelling on a state road. Once we left Topeka it got very rural with not much around. Onece we past Salina it got very flat. Our choices of places to stay were getting more limited as we got into western kansas, as the towns are much further apart.
Eventually arrived at Colby in the evening. Colby has a population 5000 people and is nearly 1000 metres above sea level.
