This is Kansas!
We hit headwinds again today which was disappointing, but we were very excited to make it into Scott City because we had packages & we're taking tomorrow off. We made it to the post office before they closed and got all of the delicious food people sent us. Thanks so much to Dustin, Emily & Eric, Annie, and Dad! It's so nice to get some decent snacks!
We've ridden for 7 days straight, so we're going to take a layover day. But we are almost to Colorado. We have been really looking forward to Colorado for a number of reasons. We can't wait for the mountain air & scenery, and to finally be closer to the west, and when we reach Pueblo we will be halfway done! Right now we are over 1900 miles into our trip which is pretty crazy, at Pueblo we'll be over half way into the 4300 miles. My Dad is coming out to Colorado next week so we're really excited for that & I am thrilled to get to spend 3 days in Denver with one my best friends of all time- Molly! Overall we are really looking forward to the 2nd half of the journey more than we did the first. The west is home, and I love the dry air, the mountains, rivers, lakes, and all that beautiful scenery that we haven't seen a whole lot of thus far. The first half of the trip has been really hard, and though I am sure the 2nd half will be equally as grueling, we feel like we'll finally be making some progress, and there will be more places that we actually want to get out and explore versus just trying to get from point a to b. It's definitely been an interesting & challenging trip so far, and while I'm glad I'm doing it I really miss normal life & most of all Dustin & Davis. So while it will be an experience to remember, I don't think I'll shed too many tears when we hit the Pacific Ocean, but we do think we will really enjoy the next month of riding more so than the first. And by Sunday we should have crossed to Colorado border!
