well, im headed out of Hays Kansas. Apparently the high here today is 98, and there is rain to the west. Should be fun!

Nice pics, Holiday!! Good thing that the weather has been cooperating with you, eh? Sure beats the 90's with high humidity! Enjoy your time in Denver.
Cheers,
Loonette

Nice photos Holiday. It was great to meet you over the weekend and I had a blast partying and riding for a bit with you. Good luck on you journey and I look forward to reading your updates on your progress.
p.s. And a great big thank you to Scan and Loonette for being such gracious hosts and allowing us to crash at their pad.

What does Kansas Have?

What does Kansas have?
Do you really want to know?
I'll tell you, just drive a bit longer.
A bit longer.
Just a little longer.
Now keep going, dont worry, for I am Cans-Azz and I will entertain you with endless not so rolling hills of brown dead grass, semi trucks and one long straight, seemingly endless supply of highway. Don't bother to lean on your bike, because there are so few turns by the time you get to Denver you might forget how.
Just a little longer now, I'll tell you what Kansas has. While we're waiting, how about I show you Fort Hays, where the movie Dances With Wolves took place. Fort Hays is in the western half of Cans-Azz, but it looks like the eastern half. Its hot, and when the mowing teams cut the grass it creates a large dust cloud that forces its way into your eyes and mouth through your full face helmet.
Just a little longer now. Keep driving and I'll show you what Cans-Azz has.
Now you're in Salina, and you've been driving what seems all day. Surely you're almost to Colorado.
but NO!! YOU'RE ONLY A THIRD OF THE WAY THROUGH!!!! YOU STILL NEED TO SIT ON THE UNCOMFRTABLE MOTO SEAT FOR ANOTHER 5 HOURS AT LEAST!!! EAT THAT YOU NON CANS-AZZ AETHETIST EFFER!!
Ok.
Just a bit more.
Is your back stiff yet?
Do your hands ache?
Do you have dreams of turns and hills, and green mountains and sparkling water?
Not to worry, I'll entertain you.
Here it comes.
This is what Cans-Azz has.
Here it is
Prairie Dog Town.
And by town, I mean buildings.
Actually I mean one building.
One, mother effing building!
And as all of the signs have said, throughout all of Cans-Azz, this is the home of the 8,000 pound Prairie Dog. Surely it must be a sight to hold, having come all of this way. After all these endless hours of excitment, waiting for prairie Dog town to see the 8,000 pound gofer, I mean Prairie Dog.
Well, my obedient traveler. I'm sorry to say, I was just kidding. There is no 8,000 pound prairie dog. There is not even an 8 pound prairie dog as far as I can tell.
There is however, $8 in admission, and good conversation with Larry Farmer and his "stuffed freak friends" in his dusty shack on the side of this godforsaken highway in this godforsaken land called Cans-Azz.
I'm glad you've enjoyed your stay here, says Cans-Azz. Enjoy your additional 2.5 hour drive to the Colorado border.
And with that, we have
Then, we have another 150 miles of the same Cans-Azz terrain until we reach Denver.
And here I am.
It was probably the motorcycle seat that gave me the sore butt, but more likely its from when I got F#$%ed by Cans-Azz.
Ride Safe, and see you in Utah.

I remember Brian talking to me about going crazy after a long period alone on the bike. Talking to yourself, making dumb jokes, singing and so on. I imagine this day must have seen how close you could come to clinically insane then. Keep going bro - after all this pain, everything from Colorado on will seem like heaven. I think they made the middle so boring so you could be that much more amazed once you got to the full-featured US.
Are you now talking 70 up to 15, and 15 the rest of the way? I know that passes through Vegas.
