Day 20: 5th State Line Crossing, Land of Oz, Yellow Brick Road

The ride today was "only" 40 miles, so the group left 2 hours later than usual....I guess that would be a 9:15 departure from Guymon, OK. The wind was with them and they arrived in Liberal, KS by noon. They stopped near the midway point of the ride for some ice cream and took some video in wheat fields (or did he say he took video "of wheat fields"?). Since the wind was being so helpful, they averaged 18 mph today.

During the afternoon they visited the "yellow brick road" in the Land of Oz. While there they were told to hurry back to the Days Inn because they were in a Tornado Alert area. A tornado hit 40 miles to the southwest of Liberal, near where they started their ride today. They watched the black clouds and were told by the Inn management that if they heard the tornado warning siren they were to go to the hallways (at least I think he said "hallways"...I didn't write it down because there are no tornados here in Northern Virginia so I didn't retain whatever he said...sorry).

Gil thought he emailed a more detailed description of the day, but we can't find it anywhere, so this is all we have for today's entry.
