We arrived in Hays, KS after a very rough morning of driving. We were in FOG from the time we left Wentzville, MO until we made it to Kansas City, KS. Finally, it started to break up and the sun broke through the clouds. It is so stressful driving when you can only see 10-20 feet in front of you and you’re driving 65 mph on the interstate.
We crossed Kansas and there were so many places that looked like it would be fun to stop – the OZ Museum in Wamego, the Eisenhower Presidential Library in Abilene, and others. Maybe some other time…
We arrived in Hays, KS, checked into our hotel and walked across the street to Carlos O’Kelly’s for a little Mexican food.
Tomorrow, we’re off to Denver, CO. We’ll transfer the equipment we need for Beaver Creek and Telluride into a smaller truck provided by a local freight carrier. They will drive it through the Rocky Mountains on those small highways and roads while we follow along in an SUV. Hey, I’m not that crazy! Driving these mountains without snow is scary enough. With snow? Not on your life!
