Travel Note
I (Esobel) have driven the road trip from Oklahoma to Wisconsin many many times. If you are choosing this route, good luck in Kansas that state is SO BORING to drive through but I believe in you – if I can do it it, you can too! If you are doing a road trip from somewhere else, I still believe in you. Don't forget to sync some audiobooks to your phone for the trip. :)
