Day 98 – 2013-10-14, Monday – Salina, KS to Kansas City, MO

Travel day! Rainy travel day … and you know how I like that! Actually, it was just barely raining, but we took our time with breakfast, because we were hoping the rain would let up, and it did. Didn’t stop, but it was down to just a bit of splattering, not an issue. Pushed the “Down” switch on the winch … nothing. Hmmm. No time to troubleshoot. Luckily, they designed it right and there’s a pretty easy override, just put an electric drill on it and let ‘er rip! It’s slow, but it works, and that’s all that counts. I’ll fix it later.

Fairly short drive, under 200 miles, so we pull in early afternoon, get to the site, and when we get to that point, I press “Up” on the winch, and … nothing. But this time, I was expecting it! I’ll just use the drill – next stop is Devil’s Den in Arkansas, and after that it’s home, so we only have to put it up one more time.

For a late lunch, we went to Smokehouse BBQ:

Smokehouse BBQ-2

To get a little Kansas City BBQ. Wow! EXCELLENT food! And you know how I like good food! Mmmm!

Tomorrow … we hope to ride, but it’s supposed to rain, so we’ll see.
