After the events of the previous eight days, nothing else could go wrong, right? Ha ha ha. It took us longer than usual to leave this morning because we had to go to a car wash and vacuum out glass and water from our fun little Aurora, Nebraska experience. We worked our way south through Eastern Kansas and finally came across a few storms to the east and northeast of Independence. After having been stuck in the mud a couple of times this year, I really tried to keep us on paved roads. While on one of these roads, watching a severe storm take on an interesting look to our north, we performed a three point turn around. The back wheels of our van fell just off the pavement and into the soft mud. Yes, it was enough. We were stuck – for me, the third time of the season. This time I wasn’t driving! Gareth came up with the idea of cutting out some seatbelts, and create a tow rope for the Tahoe to pull us out. It worked! I managed to destroy some shoes and shorts with some of that good Kansas mud again, and it was yet another trip to Wal-Mart to replace them. In the end, the storm didn’t really do anything to hold our attention and we shut down in Independence for the night.
