After leaving the McDonalds we had a very pleasant ride through Indiana and Illinois to St. Louis. We really wanted to ride right though downtown but we took a wrong turn and routed around the city and then ended back in it after rt. 50 wasn't marked (or we were getting sleepy, but I won't admit to that). Anyway we spent about a half hour in the suburbs till we found 50 again. After St. Louis, 50 turned into a motorcyclists dream road. A two lane rd with long sweeping turns through the rolling wooded hills of Missouri. 50 then turned into a four lane highway and we put the hammer down and made it to the East side of Kansas City, MO. Found a place to rest our heads at about 11:30. Total miles for the day was 710.
Awoke at daylight, found some grub and rode on. Right into a thunderstorm! Put on the rain gear and off we went again into Kansas. The sun then came out and started cooking us dispute the 50 SPF sunblock. That is about all that is interesting that happened in KS because motorcycling in KS is kinda booooring. We are currently in the Southwest part of the state in the town of Liberal but we are about ready to head south for another 100 miles till we find a place to camp.
