Reminds me of a business trip to Wichita one time...it got extended thru the weekend so I asked a local person about things to do and see there, after thinking a while he said "most folks go to Okalahoma City".

Nuff said..

Hope your rig has Satellite TV. Kansas City isn't that far, or there is alway the Indian Casino's.

If you like sight seeing there are several nice drives through the Flint Hills.
We ride the Harley each year we are there.
There are many small towns in the drives with some really neat old houses and court houses.
In part of the area there are still the old rock fences and stone fence posts with barb wire in place which would make you think you were back in the 1800's.
If you ride the back roads there is a lot of wildlife to see also.
There are nice places anywhere you go you just have to look.

Ed, save your one$, send the wife shopping, and plan at least one night at Baby Dolls. JB.
