Scott City, Kansas is roughly the halfway point on this 3,700 mile cross country journey, and the guys ought to be there by noon today. The weather is cooperating this morning as the sky is partly cloudy and the temperature is about seventy degrees in Tribune, KS, but most of all, those winds have not kicked in yet. However, they are again expected to blow in the afternoon, so we'll decide in Scott City, 47 miles away, whether or not to keep going.
Update: On to Dighton, KS, another 24 miles.....
We made it to Dighton, set up camp, and then headed over to the Lane County Fair just outside of town. Well, it was only about four blocks, but that's outside of town in Dighton, which has a population of about twelve hundred. Some rodeo events, rides, game booths, and food made up the fair, so we tried some BBQ and brisket sandwiches for dinner.
In response to the anonymous comment inquiring about what goes on at night after the daily rides, some photos are posted to see. Sometimes it's not pretty.

Rock on Whitesnake!
It sounds like you all have gone up and down since CO. Can you post the elevation that you're at?
Uncle Chris, I was the person who sent that letter, but you thought it was Dad. Ha ha ha. Love Ashley
Now that we have that clarified, I will admit that I typed while Ashley dictated. Watch out for those tornadoes, don't think bikes, or vans for that matter, are much of a challenge for them. I read all of the posts, don't know if that is proper blog etiqute (sp?), is MGM for real or one of the guys' jokesters? Chris I heard on the radio today of a big pot roundup of thousands of plants in a valley in Southern CA in place called Aliso Viejo. Just a little news from home. Keep it up guys. Uncle Tim

Drug busts in Aliso Viejo? Living out of a camper? Sounds like Chris went Matthew McConaughey on us.
