Woke up to storms. (After a night of a recurring dream)

Done raining by the time we were ready to go. Late start, breakfast wasn't until 7 AM because it was Saturday.

Got through Kansas City at the posted speed limit. Not much traffic on Saturday AM. KS scale was closed. About the only thing of interest today was a pickup pulling a mobile home that had two posts of an awning sticking out. Awning was gone.

The map makes it look like we are taking the same route as last time, and for the most part we are. Same road, same stops.

1st stop, rest area by Williamsburg, KS. 2nd stop for for fuel at Dillons in Newton, then a few blocks to Arbey's. 3rd stop was the gas station in Mullinsville. They had gotten the same rain as we did, so it was easier to where the craters are when they are filled with water. Not sure what year they last graded this lot.

People had hay down back in IA, hay up in KS. Some of the grain is turning color already in KS.

We didn't want to listen to the trains tonight so we decided to make it a short day and stop in Guymon at the Quality Inn. This time instead of eating at the Pub, we walked to Luigie's Italian. Bread was really good, other food was good too but might try a different menu item next time. Tonight we are using reward points for the room. Right now we have enough points for 35-40 nights so we need to start using them. Earlier in the day the rooms were $100, but dropped by the time we reserved.

Got our permits printed out without issue.

Tomorrow should be a 500+ mile day. About an hour on I-40 and then another hour on I-10. All the rest will be non-freeway, mostly two lane roads. We should end up with about three hours driving, plus the wash for Monday.

Plenty of wind today, almost all of the day was two hands on the wheel. No sudden gusts, no high wind warnings. Only a tail wind for a short time, a lot of time in a lower gear because of the wind.
