We drove westward the rest of the day and reached Manhattan, Kansas, which had a Greater Prairie-Chicken lek nearby. We checked into the town's Motel 6 for some much-needed sleep.

Prairie-Chicken Trip ~ April 19-20, 1999
Jason Horn, Babe Webster, and I decided to drive out to Kansas to try to get to see both Prairie-Chickens while on their leks. We left after dinner on the 19th, headed west on the Pennsylvania Turnpike and I-70 through Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois, driving through the night and arriving at Horseshoe Lake, northeast of East St. Louis, Illinois, on the morning of the 20th. Babe had never seen Eurasian Tree Sparrow, which we found fairly quickly in the campground area of Horseshoe Park.
