This is apparently the inspiration for the "mater"character of the Cars movies...
| Left Grand Island, Nebraska this morning & made our way into Kansas. Headed for Wamego, Kansas basically east of Kansas City. Brian's Dad was born in Wamego & immigrated to Canada with his Mom & Dad. Brian's great grandfather had donated some stained glass windows to a church in Wamego so we stopped at the church to view windows (which had been moved from the original church to the new church in 2010).We then found the original church where they had been moved from as well. Also did some cemetery scouting looking for gravesites of Brian's relatives. Following that we drove to Topeka to finish out the day & spend the night. I think tomorrow we are heading to the extreme southeast corner of Kansas to follow a short leg of "Route 66" before heading down into Oklahoma where we will do some more cemetery scouting for relatives of my maternal Grandmother in/around Enid, Oklahoma. It has been very windy in Nebraska & Kansas the last couple of days & not as warm because of the wind. |
