My virtual walk on Route 66 has so far taken me almost 1000 km, through 3 states: Illinois, Missouri and now, briefly, through a small part of Kansas. 

As I look at the flat fields shown on "street view" of my walk here in Kansas, I am reminded of the movie, The Wizard of Oz, which I saw as a child. 

I can almost imagine a tornado-force wind lift Dorothy into the air and across the trees. (That may be my only memory of the movie.)

I'm looking forward to passing through  Oklahoma next, then Texas, and New Mexico (which I have never visited).

When I reach that point, I'll be looking forward to reaching the end - Arizona and California.
