Aug 16th - driving

Hello.

We decided to try to find a thunderstorm today. We drove SW from Chicago through heavy traffic down towards Springfield. We did see some very weak lightning activity. We decided we wanted to head into western Kansas tomorrow (probably!) so we thought we'd get some of the driving out of the way. We continued on to Columbia, Missouri, passing through some more energetic thunderstorms...saw some good lightning but didn't get a chance to stop for pics, etc, as the rain commenced quite quickly. We headed to Applebee's for dinner.

We're staying at Stoney Creek Hotel...it's a bit different from our usual fare, but quite decent. It's rather like a kind of lodge, with lots of wooden bits around. We have a balcony...I imagine I'll take a pic from it in the morning.

Today's mileage was around 450.
