Day 1 - Houston to Salina, KS

A beautiful day for a drive!  After running our heads off until 11 P.M. Getting packed and taking care of all those last-minute details, we still got up early and left by 7 A.M.  Got most of the way to Oklahome before lunchtime.
While driving past Norman, OK, we saw lots of wrecked buildings on both sides of I-35.  When we noticed the name "Moore" on the water tower, we remembered the devastating tornado that hit that area several months ago.
As for "where the wind comes sweeping down the plains",  that describes Kansas more than Oklahoma (at least today).
We're trying really hard to eat reasonably on this trip.  Logan's Roadhouse now has a "Health Nut" menu - who'd a thunk it?  Since we're not in a big hurry tomorrow, I think we'll just sleep until we wake up, then hit the health club at the hotel before we take off.
More tomorrow, from South Dakota.
