Day 2 - Hays, Kansas

I'm trying to get through Kansas as fast as I can (you can only look at farms for so long before you go crazy), so I've been traveling down I-70 toward Colorado. There isn't much scenery to speak of, and most of it just looks like more of Missouri, but flatter. However, I did pass some gigantic wind turbines, although there wasn't a good place to pull over and see them well.

To get a sense of scale, keep in mind that those turbines are freakin' huge.

I also saw this airplane caged up in a park in Grenola, Kansas (so named after the towns of Green Field and Canola joined due to the construction of a railroad). I have no idea what it is, so maybe somebody more familiar with old fighter planes could fill me in.

Last night, I was looking out over an open field, and noticed the lightning bugs out in force. What's curious is that, as opposed to the longer flashes that I'm used to, these lightning bugs would only flicker for a split second at a time. I'm not sure if this is a regional variation or what, but it was definitely curious.
