We visit Monument Rocks, 70' tall chalk formations created 80 million years ago when Kansas was a vast inland sea. We find sea shells amongst the rubble. We decide to stay here for the night and watch as a thunderstorm approaches. We are pelted with a little rain and 35mph winds with gusts up to 55mph. We are rockin' and rollin' as we take in a lighting show like no other.
