Yes Toto, we're now in Kansas.
Long driving day yesterday, with a stop at the Wizard of Oz Museum in Wamego, KS. I didn't realize there was such a following of this movie, and the museum should definitely make any fan of the movie happy.
Lots of movie and post-movie merchandising on display. Of course, the main characters are exhibited.
I remember liking the marching song sung by the
bad witch's soldiers: "Oh-Ee-Yah! Ee-Oh-Ah!"
A Flying Monkey would keep other people
away from my campsite...
The Emerald City
Old Dutch Mill, built in 1879, moved into
town later on.
After the museum touring, it was time for more gas and a grocery run. We made it into the Rolling Hills Campground run by the Army COE around 6PM, so yeah, with an 8AM departure, a long day of driving.
The sunset was nice, and a first use of the Nikon to capture a sunset, provided by CCjon:

Cool museum, I’d stop there. And the CoE campground looks pretty good too. Are you there through the weekend?
It's a pretty good campground, RichardM. Not very crowded during the weekdays, but we will see this weekend. We are here till Sunday.
So Dorothy wasn't in Kansas?
There is a guy on AdvRider called Flying Monkey, now wonder if that is where he got his name? Those were scary creatures.
Dorothy left for the lights of Hollywood CCjon.....as to Adv's flying monkey, perhaps.....
I loved the story of the Wizard of Oz. What a nice museum. Back then the flying monkeys scared me more than the wicked witch.
