Goodbye Kansas. Hello Oklahoma

 Enjoyed a beautiful sunrise while eating breakfast.  

We left Hiawatha, Kansas; drove to St. Joseph, Missouri;  drove I-29 south to Kansas City where we crossed back into Kansas on I-35; we drove in Kansas most of the morning.  During the day we crossed the Missouri River (twice), the Kansas River, and the Arkansas River.  We had times when the traffic was very heavy and times when Carol could put the  cruise-control on.  Gas prices never went over $3.00.  The lowest we saw was $2.55 in Oklahoma.

We came across this accident involving a semi.  It has run off the road, through a tree line and into a ditch.  We don't know if the driver was hurt but we think he probably fell asleep and woke up in the ditch.

This sign caught our attention.  We aren't sure how it is pronounced but it could be pronounced like our name Mulvany.

We had never driven north to south through Kansas but the scenery was nice. It started off rolling hills with lots of trees and then became flat, green, and mostly tree free.  It was still pretty to us.

We crossed into Oklahoma around 1:00 p.m.  Our surroundings didn't change much.  It did begin to mist a little so that we had to use to whipers occasionally.  The closer we got to Oklahoma City the heavier the traffic became.  That surprised us because it was the middle of a Saturday afternoon.  I guess a lot of people had a lot of places to go.  We are staying in the southern part of the city.  Tomorrow we will drive into the city.  Hope the traffic is less.  We found a Chinese Buffet for supper and are now back at the motel relaxing.  We are happy to be on the first floor with a door into the hallway and outside.  We are parked right outside our door.  That will make packing up easier when we leave Monday morning.
