Re: [emrat:9038] Fall Overnight 2016 – Return To The High Plains

Haha. I didn't see any farm dogs or drag racing and another vehicle had already taken care of the deer but I seen everything else on 36 :O)

Just to be clear about Kansas, there will be much more awaiting you than just ten turns, as Steve Harriman postulates.

 

You will be constantly swerving to:

·         Avoid the fall prairie dog migration,

·         Avoid tumbleweeds,

·         Pass 10 mph tractors pulling plows and discs,

·         Pass elderly locals driving pickup trucks at 35 mph who  also do not signal when they suddenly make a turn,

·         Miss barking farm dogs that chase you,

·         Avoid riding behand a semi-trailer truck hauling cattle or pigs and leaking smelly, slippery, disgusting green stuff onto the highway in front of you,

·         Avoid the occasional deer/antelope, and

·         React when you crest a  hill and encounter two teenage boys drag racing towards you at 120 mph in a Mustang and a Camaro.

 

Not to unduly frighten anyone, don't forget the final scene in "Easy Rider."  Treat the locals with the utmost respect.  You will be in Second Amendment Country . . .

 

Other than the factors that I've listed, I'm sure the ride will be utterly boring and uneventful, but it will probably square off your rear tire.  Unless the wind is  blowing at 40 mph out of the south, of  course.

HeyCapt. Bob,

 

I will not be able to to attend on the new weekend since my son is coming home on leave from his deployment (USMC). Damn! I was looking forward to the 10 turns on the route to KS.
