Our trip is going so well between the two of us babes that we are now thinking that perhaps we should stage a huge fight (a la terrible reality shows) just to make the last day of Kansas and the days in Eastern Colorado (which resembles Kansas) go by quicker. But then we were stumped about what we could fight over--tire pressure? Mis-lubed chains? Never-ending caloric consumption? Water-bottle colors? If anyone has any ideas, let us know, as this landscape is rather mind-numbing and a good fight just might make the miles go by more quickly as we seethe over, maybe, who sets the tent up better?
We are spending our last night in Kansas tonight in the tiny town of Tribune. We stopped for lunch in a town called Liota and it's funny how quickly you adapt to small-town life where anything and everything becomes fascinatingly interesting. While eating fluffernutters, we found ourselves (and everybody else in the town) intently staring at four oversize load trucks carrying wind turbine material attempting to navigate a tricky turn at an intersection. A lady informed us that the town joke is that the intersection, which has been poorly designed for trucks to pass through, must have been designed by someone from Kansas U, as a Kansas-Stater would never have done such a thing!
We write from Mountain Time Zone, although nothing around here could even remotely be described as a mountain. But passing into CO tomorrow means one more state done and in a few days, the 'Mountain' in Mountain Time Zone will take on a whole new meaning!
