Day 3 - Wichita to Denver

Left Wichita and made it to Dodge City. $7 dollars to walk down the historic street and see exhibits, most of which were closed for the season. We spent a few minutes at Boot Hill before getting back on the road.

Greensburg, Kansas, 95% destroyed when a mile and a half wide tornado (EF5) with winds of over 200 mph swept through the town in May of 2007. All that's left are bare trees, a temporary hospital and houses being built up from scratch. It was like something from another planet.

Around Pueblo, Colorado, the left front wheels little noise has grown into an unmistakable problem. Adam thinks the wheel bearings are going - possible ,worst case scenario effects of this include trouble steering or loss of the wheel. That won't do. We decide to stop overnight in Denver and wait to see if the car is easily, and cheaply fixed. So that's where we are... hours short of today's goal of Cheyenne, Wyoming... waiting.
