Two hands at all times! 40 mph crosswind!Kansas, what the heck was Dorothy thinking!
I had been across Kansas before on a motorcycle trip, so I was somewhat prepared.
Flat lands and wind.
Kansas served up her best for us with shrieking side winds, see the pic above and look at the steering wheel, it's pitched over at forty five degrees on a straight road! the wind is so strong and gusty that at the end of the day I'm soaked in sweat.
We passed the time making up Kansas jokes:
Why did the wizard land in Oz?
No balloon could land in Kansas unless it was one foot from the ground in Oklahoma.
Why are there no litter patrols in Kansas?
There are, but the signs are in Nebraska.
We did find a safe, but seedy haven in Hays.
There is a brewpub. Proof that despite the overabundance of "Jesus saves" signs every ten miles God does love Kansas, and at least wants some of them to be happy.
Made it through in two days, whew!!!
