> Ah-your comment reminded me: double check the quality of wiper blades, that they aren’t dried and streaky. My last trip across Kansas on I70 was an endless flat gray rainy day.

Well, the seller’s said that he’s going to put a new set on there, so hopefully he’s done that.

2426 miles  
$230  
162 gallons of gas  
90 photographs  
80 cigarettes  
12.13 quarts of oil  
5 lbs of trail mix  
3.5 days  
2 buses  
1 bag of beef jerky  
0 showers, later, and I and the beast are home safe and sound.

I’ll start a new thread tomorrow with links to pics and the story of my adventure. Right now, I’m going to take a shower and go to bed.

P.S. There ain’t dick in KS. (Well, at least on I-70, anyways.)
