Left 10 am from the Springs and stopped at my friend Earl's house at around 7:45. This included some extra stops for the Kidd, who decided she wanted OUT of her dog hut, while zipping along hwy 70 at 80mph.
We set a new "record"..440 miles in a day. It was especially hard for Pat who had to wrestle with the puppy.
So, we had some extremely hard crosswinds in KS while going east on 70. Not so bad for Pat, but very challenging for me. We had wind coming at us from the north, and then when we went over a certain overpass, the wind changed to the south. This almost ended in disaster for me and taught me a valuable lesson in driving with high winds. Passing tractor/trailers is a bit of a challenge, also. But I learned quickly, or the old motorcycle experience started coming back.
We are extremely tired tonite, and will be spending 2 nights here. I d like to visit with my friend again tomorrow, tho its gonna be a surprise to him..hopefully a good one!
