jay and carolyn's amazing cross country adventure: day two



Day two we drove from Gallop, New Mexico to Salina, Kansas. In Salina we visited with Rodney, the friend who performed our wedding ceremony. Rodney manages the kitchen at a Ramada Inn. He was able to get us a room and fed us a wonderful meal by his staff. It was nice to have a soft bed and hot shower after our very short night at the campground.

It was a long day of driving but there were interesting things to view from the window. I thought it was fun when we drove through Elkhart, Kansas because of the years I lived in Elkhart, Indiana.

We passed several fields of windmills during our trip. They are intriguing with a outer space-type feel. We also passed some windmill parts being transported on trucks and were amazed at their size.

We had to turn around to take photos of this hay-sculpture of a farmer and his tractor.


The driver obviously was not paying attention to the road when this photo was taken!

looks like that farmer and tractor need a little bit of work...maybe Aaron and Brian could fix them up
