October 2, 2016 Manhattan, Kansas that is.

Good evening everyone.
This morning we left Offutt AFB and changed plans ... and directions.  Instead of heading west on I-80 to North Platte, we headed South to Manhattan, KS.  We went to see Grammie's niece who is attending the Kansas State Veterinarian School.

Because this was a new route that we hadn't researched we discovered that we were riding along the  Pony Express Trail.  This historic place is in the town of Marysville, KS.

We followed the signs to the museum only to discover that it was closed today.   Back on the road, taking the next right turn we were now on the California Tour Trail.  California Tour Trail

 Shortly after leaving town we came across a marker noting the location of the Oregon Trail. This web site has a picture of the marker we drove by.

Finally arriving in Manhattan, We met up with Karen and had a good visit. We took a tour of the school.  Grammie commented that Ivy would love a place like this.

Grammie is always happy seeing family.  After the visit, we headed to Salina, KS where we are staying overnight resting up for the drive Monday when Grammie won't be in Kansas anymore.

Thanks for keep an eye out for Grammie.
