Comments on Day 6 Photos:
Heading west from St. Louis we crossed the rolling farmlands of Missouri, through Kansas City and made our first stop in Topeka, visiting the National Park Service's museum which celebrates the Supreme Court's decision on "Brown vs. Board of Education". The museum is housed in the Monroe Elementary School which was attended by kindergarten student Linda Brown, for whom the case is known. Linda's parents were one of thirteen families who in 1951 challenged the practice of segregating Black students in Topeka. Thurgood Marshall represented the defendants once the case reached the Supreme Court.
Leaving the museum we drove by the Capitol building in Topeka whose many empty storefronts suggests this city has passed its prime.
From Topeka we continued west on I-70 to our campsite for the night at the incredibly beautiful Wilson Lake State Park.

Until you got to the mountains it certainly is very flat!
