We woke up this morning to gusting winds and rain. Freeway traffic was light and there were very few trucks heading east. I suspect that the snow storm in the Denver area kept the trucks from moving.We reached Abilene about mid morning and stopped to tour the Eisenhower library,home, and museum. This is the house that Ike and his 6 brothers were raised in. It's a three bedroom house and all the furniture inside is original.
The library and museum are modest stone buildings that express the character of Eisenhower, quiet, yet strong.
It was mid afternoon by the time we finished exploring the museum which meant it would be rush hour about the time we reached Wichita and Kansas City so we decided to head south and then east on State highways so we could bypass the traffic. We spent a pleasant afternoon exploring the Kansas countryside.
The rain continued off and on all day and this evening finds us in a Walmart parking lot in Harrisonville, Missouri. It's still raining as I write this. Tomorrow it's supposed to clear up.
