    End of day today will be mile 1,037 of 1,632 for this leg, and mile 5,673 out of 6,268 for the year. Such a wild “8” we drew this year.

    https://t.co/EcEaR0qYOt A bit different than last year’s loop.

    I’m just throwing this out there – Kansas is not as flat as people make it out to be. I mean, it’s flat, but it’s not a single plane by any means.

    Earned 3 new state stickers, and a National Park sticker this week. Gonna get Oklahoma next week!

    Okay…whew. One more drive and then I get 3 days off. Let’s do this. Next stop – Wellington!

    I don’t know how I feel about the fact that Mastodon shows you that a post was filtered in your feed. I think I may prefer blissful ignorance.

    I have no idea how people deal with significant jet lag. I am 1-hour behind the timezone I have been in for about 6 months and I’m like falling asleep at 7PM

    Maybe it is just a fluke in the weather, but when I started driving today I was wearing a jacket. When I parked, I needed shorts. The sun is significantly stronger already, and we have only hit Kansas.

    As I was driving today, our destination sounded like a place that was vaguely familiar, but I couldn’t place it.

    Turns out, it is the hometown of a former colleague and friend of mine from my days at Sandhills, so we got to hang out today. My dead battery meant that I got here 4 hours earlier. That meant I had time to hang out with them today. Serendipity wins!

    What a wild rollercoaster that trip was! The map took us to the wrong location, we couldn’t get a hold of the winery we intended to visit, and on a whim said “screw it” and cheesed it to a KOA just up the road from the winery. I have full hook-ups, am down $54 dollars, and have no regrets.

    The Jackery has a built-in light, which is pretty handy on these situations.
