Day 5: Amarillo, TX - Colby, KS

Good evening from Colby, Kansas. I know I'm in Kansas because there are Jayhawks everywhere- it's too bad my birding field guide doesn't cover that particular species!

Today was a transit day as we moved into position for what seem to be the most promising days of our trip- tomorrow and Saturday. The best part of my day by far was finding out that the Portlight campaign page is live! as well as learning that one of my tripmates was kind enough to give to the cause (thanks again RW). That tornado cake is pretty fantastic!

A couple of highlights:

Much hilarity ensued over this town's somewhat unfortunate name

I'm off to bed filled with hope that tomorrow will be rife with severe weather adventures. There are only a couple of days left on the tour, and I can't wait to enjoy them to the fullest potential with my tripmates and our guides.
