Paules Brown09: Treasure Hunt

Our Biggest Worst Adventure was the storm we had last night. We were on Tornado watch, for 10 hrs. BUT, the weather said, we would have 75 mph winds, nickel size hail, and tornados had already touched down west of us, in two places. We were ready to go to the shelter, and should have gone, but we waited, (Not wanting to be chickens) We had thunder that shook the motorhome and gusts that rocked it, not to mention the 2' of rain in about an hour. If anyone hasn't spent a thunder storm in a motorhome, they don't know anything about going through one. The people that DID go to the shelter, have lived in Ks all their lives, and we wished we had joined them. Our poor dog was petrified and wouldn't let us sleep until 5:45AM. I was up until 3:45, and Neil was up from 4 until 5:45 with her. She wants to go to Ca NOW...

This was the 50's diner, in the Kansas History Museum. Neil and I agree we would like to go back here when we aren't tired. The clue for our next destination is: 34 acre retreat on the West side of Topeka. The residents here are not to fear, but admire, been here since 1933.

This was the Curtis Mansion: The clue there was: Back to school where it is a comedy and a tragadey, which was the school for theatre Arts.

The clue we recieved here was: Find the only sweet and nutty Hill in Topeka. Sure to satisfy your chocolate desires

The medal of Honor. First one we had ever seen. Impressive, but sad too.

This was the candy store. This was a sweet surprise...The clue for the next place was: Historical Home linked to a Native American Vice President??

The last clue was:

It was the Air Museum at Forbes air field (Relative Mike?) The next clue was: Where in Topeka can you find the World's largest machine gun... That was located at the Kansas National Guard Museum. There we also saw a National Medal of Honor. Neil or I either had seen one in living color. Have now. This was Lake Shawnee it was a clue that was just read to us, because we couldn't get into the place to get the clue, it was closed.

. The clue we got there was: Tom Cruise & Anthony Edwards flew a jet plane which is like one in our museum with Naval Air Warfare Center (NSAWC) on the tail.....
