Well, today was a travel day. Got up pretty early, and headed out, back to I-35 for the continuing trek North, but stopping somewhere for breakfast before we got too far. Then, we took a wrong turn somewhere. Hmmm. Never fear, we’ll wing it and go somewhere ELSE for breakfast, instead of the great place the park manager told us about. Isn’t that how great adventures come about? Well, usually, unless you end up at the Bates Motel, or some such.

We got lucky! We ended up in Perry, OK, and found the Kumback restaurant. Oldest restaurant in Oklahoma still at its original location, since 1926! And the food was GREAT! And you all know I KNOW about food! I’ll post photos later, when I can get them from my camera.

Took off from there after breakfast, and earnestly on the road now. I love these 75 mph speed limits! Stopped in Wichita, KS, at a Best Buy, to get a charger for my Kindle, though not until after getting directions from a VERY surly tollbooth attendant. Everyone else has been REAL friendly, what’s wrong with her? Oh, well, we got our stuff and continued.

Further up the road, we saw a few cars, all tangled up, and actually, one of them WAS blue, though I imagine by that point, everyone was a little blue. Didja catch it? My Dylan reference?

Kansas, my friends, has hills! And windmills! At least central Kansas does, and we are smack dab in the middle of the state, probably within just a few miles of the actual geographic middle. The scenery is outstanding! I’ll try to get some pictures, and I’ll try to make them do this place justice. Amazing. The cool part is that I know the scenery is only going to get better from here!

Found the park (Wilson State Park), got our slot, and made spaghetti. Yum. Tomorrow, we ride the trail!
