Beautiful day of good weather and good roads as we crossed the state of Kansas. It was a day like many others in so many ways. Nothing but two lanes a steady succession of farms with newly planted fields. The smells of the fresh cut lawns mixed with the smell of wood smoke as the farmers burned the piles of brush from winter storms. The miles measured by the next silo and water tower on the horizon.
I know this sounds like any of several other posts this year but to me it isn't. I'm reminded of a Jimmy Web (I think) song, Slides, where a professor is showing his vacation slides to his class:
Sunset,
another sunset,
I know it looks
indistinguishable from the last.
But I remember the difference.
Made a stop for lunch and souvenirs in Dodge City then on down the road. A little over 400 miles today but only a short way into Colorado. Passed the National Prairie Park today with mile after mile of rolling hills that look like a golf course due to the spring rains.
Over two weeks on the road and now the days are counting down. Hope the weather holds for the mountains tomorrow snow on the mountains is pretty, snow on the road is not.
Until tomorrow.
