2015--Day 2
Left STL in the clouds and KSHE on the radio. It's damp and cool. Headed on 70 west toward Hays a little after 9. This route brought us through St Charles in the rain. (I'm sad to note that Mr. Steak, a favorite of mine from way back, appears lifeless. Ditto for the Warrenton Outlets.)
There were numerous accidents in a short span. It's amazing how a little rain causes so many people to forget how to drive. It's like their licenses (and their road skills) are water soluable. Melting! What a world!
Two interesing billboards so far: one for the Budget Motel ($29.99 a night), and the other for tours of the Missouri State Penitentary. Oddly enough, I think I'd rather spend the night in the latter than the former, as it probably has fewer bedbugs.
We've been joined by a group of bikers. One has the good sense to wear a hunter orange T-shirt with the message 'Can you see me now ASSHOLE?' on the back. Good to be proactive, I guess.
Eventually made it to Ellis, Kansas, just west of Hays in the evening. The hotelier suggested what turned out to be a phenomenal Mexican place. Not much else to report, as it was relatively uneventful. Just lots of driving, albeit not nearly as far as the day before--let's call it 520 miles. See you tomorrow,
