We are in WaKeeney on I-70. Tomorrow morning we are heading north to Nicodemus, a town founded by ex-slaves who were being mistreated after Reconstruction. The town thrived for years, but the railroad bypassed the town, and that began a long decline. Today it is a National Historic Site. It only has a few buildings left, but it does have an interpretive center.
After that we are driving past the largest ball of sisal twine in the world. Really. Then it is off to Lawrence (home of University of Kansas) and then to Independence, MO, to see the Truman library and museum.
