Day 4: We woke up in Sioux city Iowa and drove to Kansas city then on to witchita. Andy found a thunder storm running along the Kansas Oklahoma border and that is where we spent much of the day. No tornados, just heavy rainfall and lots of lightning!
Everything seemed fine as the sun set and we headed off to find a hotel. However, upon exiting the car Andy realized he had misplaced his wallet somewhere in a 45 mile+ radius. So at 11pm in total darkness and surrounded by a deadly lightning we headed back out to find it. We programmed the GPS to track back from our current location to where we had been earlier in the day. We drove in heavy rain and carefully checked our previous stops. On the second stop, somewhere in very rural Oklahoma we used search lights and right there in the bushes Andy found his wallet!! It was soaked and filled with sand and debris but Andy was happy. It turned out to actually work out well for us as the extended drive put us into a better position for today's drive into the Texas panhandle.
