Day 14 continued...
Kev Says:
It takes all day and over 300 bucks but Willow is released around 5:00pm. We head west out of Dodge hoping to push for Colorado before dark. However the weather has other plans. It gets dark really dark fast and birds start flocking east by the thousands. We keep pushing on until we heard that familiar boom and see the lightning that has cut a couple of our days short. Begrudgingly, we decide to stay in Kansas one more night.
The only motel in the area just happens to be in close proximity to a feed lot. Which is a big dusty area where cows are fattened on corn until they are killed. I've seen some documentaries about this practice and it's really quite disturbing, we had been driving by these for the last couple of days but this was the first time we stopped. In a moment when the weather let up I went and shot a couple photos for you guys. This was probably the smallest of the feed lots we saw. Neither of us haven eaten meat on the trip since.
